[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm having similar issues.  We have a part-time nanny who works 4 hours AFTER lunch.  She eats a lot of our food.  We definitely noticed full on snacks, bags of chocolates, half a banana loaf going down in one afternoon quite early on, and didn't really think it was that big of an issue.  But then it became our meals -- for example, half a lasagne (enough for our family of 4) would disappear in one day -- so yeah, we had no dinner and had to scramble to find something else.  We never said the nanny could help herself to our food, except for the occasional baked good I made and as much coffee as she likes (she begins after lunch after all!).  Neither of our other nannies ever did this.  It's awkward and weird, and we know it would create major tension if we mentioned it.  I get the impression that some nannies think that just because you have hired them, you must be rich and can afford to give away all these extras, but that is not the case with our family...it's more of a "childcare costs as much as quitting, but at least if I don't quit, I'll have a job when I no longer need childcare" kinda deal.  Anyhoo...more of a rant in a place where people have shared the same problem.  I don't think there is an easy solution.[/quote]

....and to add more...we have a kid with food allergies, so we have to cook most of our stuff from scratch so we know what we are feeding her.  Be nice if we didn't have to cook EVERYTHING from scratch EVERY single day, especially when we had had made extra with a plan on using leftovers for dinner.  My husband and I both work full days and often have to bring work home...busy, busy, busy.[/quote]
