[quote=Anonymous]We have had two nannies (in 5 years) and they have been responsible for preparing the kids' meals throughout.

Sometimes this means reheating things I've made, or leftovers, or whatever.  And sometimes it means they're just chopping up veggies and assembling sandwiches, and quite frequently it means they are cooking wholesome meals from scratch (now that includes grocery shopping.)

I've given the nannies pretty free rein over what they make, as long as it's healthy (not excessive sugar, salt, fried, etc...) and essentially whole food - not lots of boxed artificial stuff.

I encourage them to introduce the kids to new foods, spices, and the like, and I love when the nanny teaches me new things.  (I aspire to a passable pernil!)

I knew I wanted this from the start so we included it in the job description and talked about it when interviewing.  Honestly, our first nanny was a far superior cook and for our current nanny this is her weakest area.  But it works overall and is a huge help to me.[/quote]
