[quote=Anonymous]The "board means food" comment is in response to the person who doesn't understand "why you would even provide food or groceries" if she is being provided room and board. They just don't know what room and board means, period.

I don't feel like we have enough information here to determine whether or not your nanny expects you to prepare her meals. Do you feel that this is implied by her behavior (not offering to help out, heading to her room before eating) or is she asking you "What's for dinner?"

This might just be a case of her not expecting anything. She might not like to cook and might be the kind of person who would just eat a sandwich, a bowl of cereal, a frozen meal, etc if left to her own devices. As for cleaning up, she should help clear the table as any other member of the household would. I wouldn't necessarily expect her to be scrubbing pots but if you want her to chip in you could ask her to. She likely feels awkward around dinner time as she is neither a guest nor an employee on the clock.
