[quote=Anonymous]I am a little curious:
How do families with live-in nannies handle nanny meal preparation? I am not talking about providing food, my question is about who prepares their meals?

Our contracts says "nanny prepares her own meals"(of course we provide the food/ingredients). The main reason for this is we do not eat breakfast and lunch at home and we do not always prepare dinner. In addition, we want our nanny to eat what she wants to eat. Our nanny DOES NOT prepare/cook meals for our kids, she simply heats up prepared meals.

However, our nanny seems to expect us to prepare her dinner and call her downstairs to eat when dinner is ready (she goes to her room when her shift ends). She does not offer to help with dinner preparation or clean up after dinner.

If we prepare dinner we don't mind her having dinner with us at all. However, a part of me feels she should help with clean up. If this a reasonable expectation?

Note: Her workday ends before dinner preparation begins.
