[quote=Anonymous]All my previous and current Family, provide and stuck things of my preference to eat for lunch like, lunch meat, fruit, coffe.  They are and all of them have been such a great employers and without even me ask for anything;  this has always come from them asked me what I like to buy for me and keep in in fridge. I try to eat them all, before they would throw them away and get bad and they stock more. I always been so grateful about that and very happy to work for them.

Sometimes, I just like to bring my lunch too, when I have something cooked and have left overs from night before from my home or a Monday when I went out and bought food from a restaurant on the wknd.

From my opinion as a nanny, you seems to be a good employer too;  offering your nanny to help herself for whatever you have in your house.  But if she's  stating that she prefer to eat food only from restaurants and expecting you, to buy her too everytime you want to order for you;  as a Nanny, I would feel bad about it, saying "Yes"  everytime when you offer to buy me food from a restaurant and saying "No thanks, I pass" if you would be me offering to prepare something practical and easy from your fridge. I this that it's very very rude from her and also ungrateful.  She doesn't seems to be a humble person.

So, if she is a big fan eatting food only from restaurants and has a very good and expensive taste, let her buy it from her pocket. If she doesn't want to make a sandwich from your fridge;  let her be.  So maybe she is able to afford buying lunch for herself everyday, but You don't have to feel bad, if someday you are starving to eat something for your favorite restaurant and you don't offer this day to buy something for her aswell. Of course, I'm not saying never buy something for her, that's very nice of you.  But you can do it sometimes and not feel like it's your responsibility everyday.  If my employer would tell me "hey Ana, I'm ordering something for lunch today, would you like too"?  Probably I would say "Ohh that's very nice of you, but I am happy to make a sandwich from here today, thanks anyway".  And or course other time I could say " Yes, Thank you so much".  (But maybe once a week).  Well that's me.  As a nanny.

Good luck Op.
