[quote=Anonymous]OP, you get to decide what you're willing to pay for. If you're fine with multiple trips to Starbucks for junk food each week (clearly I would not be), then you should provide cash for the nanny to do it.

If you're not fine with it, either because of cost or because your kid is eating muffins an awful lot, then you need to say something. You could do any of the following
1) Set a limit on restaurant "treats" for your child. Once a week? Once in a blue moon? Only when you've been asked and authorized it? Only during a special outing (like to the zoo)?
2) Set a weekly or monthly petty cash limit for treats and incidental expenses. This would be my choice if I didn't care about the food choices; nanny can use it up, and then if she wants more muffins, she can pay for them.
3) Provide more treats that the nanny can pack for kid snack. Or, ask the nanny if she likes to cook, and have her bake with the kid.

If the issue is that the nanny likes to go to Starbucks to hang out for awhile every day, you also need to decide if that's a daily outing you want your kid to be doing, or if you would prefer more kid-related spots.[/quote]
