[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been a live out for 8 years. Every family I have worked with has had an open pantry/fridge policy and I have still always preferred to bring my own food.  I have a place in the fridge/pantry to store my own items and if I don't bring food for the day, I either order out or make something from the kids selection (chicken tenders, quesadilla, etc.).

[b]Most of my employers have, over time, noticed what I stock for myself and started purchasing a few of my favorites as a nice gesture (yogurt, coffee, maybe soda, nothing fancy here) and it makes all the difference. Any professional nanny is not going to help herself to all of your snacks and drink the last of the milk, but it is nice to know that you recognize the amount of time we spend in your homes and make us feel welcome.

Bottom line though, if your nanny lives out, 80-90% of their daily food should be purchased by them. [/quote]

This is spot on. I don't really care what the ultimate arrangement is, I'm probably going to pack my lunch, but it says something about the kind of employer you are if you go out of your way to make your nanny feel welcome in your home and vice versa if you make very clear that she isn't welcome. (I once had an employer go so far as to have it in the contract that I wouldn't eat their food! Guess how long that lasted!)[/quote]
