[quote=Anonymous]Hi, this is OP.  About food/milk.  I am totally okay with DC eating leftovers up to two days old.  (I actually am okay with older, depending on what it is, but would rather save nanny that judgment call).  She doesn't know how old the food in our fridge is so should ask me before she gives DC something I made.  One evening, I saw that she had fed DC some sorry-looking beef.  It wasn't rotten, but looked and smelled old and DC actually had stomach pains and lots of gas that night.  Also, previously, I would see a couple half containers of milk in the fridge in the evening and it turned out that nanny would prepare two cups of milk, feed DC one, then the other, save leftovers from both for the next day.  It would be fine if she had either thrown out the first cup's leftovers or used it for the second cup (which is given just an hour later), but the way she was doing it, she was giving DC a whole bunch of day-old used milk that she didn't need to.

About the snot, I wasn't even thinking about how clean nanny keeps DC's nose during the day, just how it looks in the evening when I get home.  She washes DC's face & yes after this, I don't think there should be boogers hanging out of DC's nose!  And DC does not bug out about the occasional nose wipe or picking.

I told nanny maybe two months ago about four places she could take DC when it was too cold for the park - a couple kid-friendly bookstores, the library, and a museum, all are free, all less than 10 minutes walk from home.  The other day, it hit me that I was hearing library a lot when I asked what they did that day, occasionally one of the bookstores, but never the other or the museum.  It turns out she had never even tried going to the latter two.  [/quote]
