[quote=Anonymous]I have just accepted a new nanny job and the family is wonderful. I will be bringing my 19-month-old along with me and DC will be 10 months. MB sent me their contract today and it states that they will provide food for me and my son. That is very generous, however we (my son and I) are vegan and I am gluten-free due to an allergy. It's not something that I ever felt was pertinent to share with them as it doesn't affect how I will perform my job duties and we never discussed food further than what DC is currently eating in the interview. This may be silly, but I'm a little worried that they may actually have concerns about this. My charge and my son could be eating very different foods once DC is eating table food. Also, it may take a little longer to prepare two different meals or there may be some issues when one child wants what the other is eating. I can think of many ways to get around these issues and really don't even think they are issues at all, but I'm a little worried about how my employers may feel about it.

Should I just say "no thanks" to them providing our food, or should I explain our diets and get into detail about the logistics of it? Should I ask them to only provide simple vegan foods like fruits and veggies and I'll bring the rest of our food to keep at their house? I will be taking the metro to work and it's a bit of a walk, so taking a week's worth of food would be kind of a pain. Not impossible though.
