[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Neither. I'm not provided food at my job. My nanny has always brought her lunch. Obviously, if she forgot, she can eat whatever we have on hand, but we don't provide it regularly and she doesn't expect it. She is welcome to any shelf space and fridge space to safely store anything she wishes to bring.

Before you ask, no, I'm not allowed to leave for lunch and I work a 10+ hour shift. This is common  in my industry and we all bring our lunches and store extra food in an office kitchen.

An employer who chooses not to provide free meals for their employees is not at all engaging in a human rights violation. That's just silly.

Nannies, pick your perks and negotiate for them in your contract. Stop acting like spoiled children.[/quote]
If you honestly do work 10 hours a day 5 days a week, you must bring more than a sandwich everyday to maintain your weight. What field are you in? Even hospital workers have access to onsite cafeterias.[/quote]

Uh, this is normal.

My DH leaves the house each day at 5:30AM in order to get to the hospital and prep for surgery. he always has on him a ton of unrefrigerated snacks, such a Lara bars, meal replacement drinks, Nuts, fruit, and so forth. He often does not have time for any sort of lunch and a 60hr work week is TYPICAL. If he is seeing patients back to back or is in a full day of surgery, he's not eating anything and I can assure you his job is much more physical than being a nanny.[/quote]
