[quote=Anonymous]Its the first time I hear a nanny skip her lunch just bcs that day, employer do not buy also for her.  But when the employer would like to buy something for herself and ask this Nanny;  she will always say say and never decline.  Of course, this nanny is taking advantage waiting for you to offer her and a day you don't buy her she just decide no to eat anything.  To me, as a nanny, It's seems to be a little rude or like she is taking advantage of the nice gesture you.

If she told you that she just eat food from restaurants, I will say... "ohh that's great, good for you"  and let her buy her own lunch;  so she doesn't get use to it.

Also I think it's not nice that you felt bad for ordering one day and no for her.  Most of professional nanny bring ther lunch and also they are always to help themselves with the food from the Family.  This is my case.  My nanny family is very nice and I bring my own lunch to work a couple of days and the other days I am very welcome to prepare something from their house, like a sandwich, fruit, salad, veggies etc.  I always appreciate this nice gesture from my employers.

So OP, if both of you agreed to take herself a one hour for lunch break and leave the house;  it's up to you offer maybe once to buy lunch and she can take it outside and eat it, park etc.  The other days, she will be find, packing her favorite and expensive restaurants and she is very welcome to go and buy it herself with her own pocket.   It's up to her to no appreciate a sandwich from your home and prefer to spend everyday lunch from a restaurant like a business woman.  So let her spend her own money on her luxuries.

If she just doesn't want to eat anything in her lunch time;  it's not your stomach it's hers.  It's her, the one who is going to get sick soon.  Good luck.
