[quote=Anonymous]OP, your only obligation here is to do what works for you and your family and make your food rules known to the nanny during the hiring process so she can decide whether the economics and boundaries work for her. Be careful, however, about trying to impose a reasonableness standard after telling her she can help herself to everything or add to your grocery list. Eating habits are personal and reasonableness is subjective. If you aren't comfortable with giving her free reign over the kitchen or grocery list and paying for whatever that costs, you may be better off providing a food stipend or paying her a higher salary and letting her buy all her own groceries and either keep them in a designated place or mark them with her initials the way most of us did in college roommate situations. It can be hard to find a middle ground without constant misunderstandings or resentments.[/quote]
