[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, your nanny is very lucky to have you as a boss. I currently work for a family who doesn’t offer water or coffee period. Forget lunch or snacks, I bring water, coffee, and fruits daily to work. The family doesn’t own a microwave, so I can’t bring anything that needs to warmed up. I basically just check my email and eat my small snacks while kids nap for one to two hours.[/quote]

I believe you PP.  Once I worked for a family like this.  When one of the parents were making a coffe in front of me; they never even Once offer me anything.  Even a glass of water.  In the pandemic time;  when both parents used to order their food for lunch;  same... never in my dreams could think even for accident, they would offer something for me.

I'm not saying that I need them to feed me like "please, look at my poor and starving face", never I tryed to ask anything.  But at think it would be nice when employers offer to the Nanny at least some snacks or at least a banana if a nanny forget by accident her lunch.  Anyways, I always brought my own lunch, water, coffe, snacks etc.  But I felt so weird;  working in an environment like this.  At least it was a temporary position and I was happy when the position end.

It was the only family that never offer me as I said "help yourself if you would like to have some water".

Now and in all my former Nanny positions, I have always been provided with everything for lunch.  It's really nice how my employers are now and my past has been.  They asked me what I like; so they would get it when do groceries shopping.  Including my favorite brands, bread, coffe, or favorite fruit.  I feel so blessed and grateful to work for such nice families like them.  Where I'm always happy and feel very welcome.  So nice that sometimes the mom or dad.. are craving with their favorite chips and ask me would you like some;  if I finish this first, there's a second bag in the pantry.  Really nice and I appreciate this very much.  So I never have to worry about taking lunch everyday!
