[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a live out nanny and she has always brought her own lunch. She is welcome to space in the fridge, shelves, any storage. She is also welcome to the snacks and drinks we have on hand, and of course, to make a lunch with what is on hand if she forgets her lunch.

That said, lunch is definitely not included as a perk in our contract and is not standard and not provided.

A stipend or a specialized list of food for nanny's lunch would be over the top. If she were a live in, of course, it would be different.[/quote]

We do exactly this, and I agree that a stipend of commitment to buy the nannies preferred groceries would be over the top--just another form of compensation.  A lot of nannies will tell you that providing lunch is standard, but fewer and fewer MBs seem to be doing it these days.

That's odd. Among the people I hear from, it is standard practice to invite the nanny to "please make yourself at home". For those who fear being taken advantage of, I am afraid that speaks to the poor quality of nannies they hire. They are compelled to nickel and dime every little thing. It must be exhausting by the end of the day. How do they get any office work done?[/quote]

I am the only nanny I know who doesn't get meals provided by my employers. I don't mind personally, but you're wrong to say it isn't standard.[/quote]
