[quote=Anonymous]Our contract specified our nanny would prepare DC's meals, but it took me months to actually ask her to do this.  I eventually did, and it entails cutting up fruit, veggies, making sandwiches or quesadillas, heating meat, grains, rice, beans, etc. that are already cooked and just need warming, and defrosting frozen veggies.  I personally don't want to ask the nanny to cook anything complicated for DC because I would rather she be engaging with DC doing activities.  I also worry about her inadvertently starting a fire (not that she's clumsy or forgetful, but we have a gas stove and I'd rather avoid the risk altogether).  I started by leaving a list each day of what DC should have for snacks and meals.  Then I moved to leaving a list each week of what was available for DC to eat.  The nanny writes down each day what DC eats, not quantities, just the foods.  For example, ham, quinoa, and peas for lunch.  I am very particular about some things that DC not eat, and our nanny knows this.  For example, gold fish only at play group if other kids are eating sugary snacks.  Anyway, this is how it works for us.  [/quote]
