[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our nanny brings her own food (she has designated cupboard and fridge space so she can keep things stocked as she wishes).

But i fairly routinely cook in large batches and will make sure she knows to help herself if I've cooked something.  She's also welcome to help herself to things if she likes.  We don't police consumption, and she's never taken advanatage.  A year and a half into the relationship now we've both (nanny and I) taken to restocking items we've noticed the other, or the kids, particularly like.

But if I were starting over w/ a new nanny I'd set it up the same way - bring anything you like, here's space, etc... [b] I don't want to worry about regularly feeding someone else and concerning myself w/ their preferences[/b].[/quote]

I always pack a lunch and don't really care if the family has food for me or not. That being said, the bolded indicates a self-centered attitude that I try to avoid when choosing a family to work with. I put a lot of effort into caring for the children and families I work with, always trying to anticipate a need, being there when needed, etc. and I appreciate that effort to go both ways. If you can't be bothered to concern yourself with something so simple but kind, you are not someone I'd bust my hump for, hence I would not work with you. [/quote]
