[quote=Anonymous]We've always covered this in the interview to see what a nanny is willing to do, and the answers have ranged from "I don't cook at all" to "I can make things at home and bring them in".  Honestly, it may depend on your nanny and what she feels comfortable doing.

Our nanny prepares lunch and dinner for 3 kids.  During the interview, she made it clear that she's not confident about her cooking skills so we try to cook almost all meals in advance and have her just heat up leftovers for the kids.  She's also taken the initiative and cooked some things even when there were leftovers, so I know that she's willing to cook. She's comfortable cutting up fruit, making a salad every day for the kids, making sandwiches (PBJ or grilled cheese), cooking things like frozen chicken tenders, pasta, steaming broccoli, preparing white or yellow rice and beans, sausages, etc.  She does put some thought into what the kids are eating and will adjust accordingly if one of them is having digestive issues.
