[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always bring most of my own food.  Like your nanny I might help myself to a banana or something for a snack.  When the kids are older I shop, cook and eat with them.[/quote]

This. As with most other jobs, I bring my own lunch and snacks. I will occasionally have a small snack of theirs, as well as share some of my food with the children, but I find it unprofessional to expect your employers to supply your food – [b]unless you don’t pay her a proper wage[/b]. [/quote]

OP. I'm not sure how you define "proper," but we asked her for her hourly rate and said yes. Two weeks paid vacation of her choosing, plus 2 weeks paid at Christmas and whenever we take off during the year. No housekeeping, cooking, driving. One baby less than 1 yr. When I come home early from work, I always let her know she can go and pay her as if she stayed. Curious how you define proper, PP?[/quote]

It depends on the cost of living in your area, I’m sure you can look it up. I’m not implying that you don’t pay well; but it appears to be a common benefit for nannies who do not make good wages. I only know of one nanny (though I do not know a ton of nannies) that is paid well and is fed at work. Is your nanny bringing her own food, or just not eating much? [/quote]
