[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The space is cute, but I don't think you should really call it an "apartment."  It's a room.

The kitchenette is great for someone in town for the week that will mostly be eating out and just re-heating leftovers, but there is no stove or oven;  would you be able to fully prepare meals for your family using just a microwave?[/quote]

While I agree that the nanny needs access to the kitchen on her off time, she doesn’t want a nanny with a family...[/quote]

PP you quoted here

Ok, my emphasis wasn't supposed to be on family....I guess I should have said "would you be able to prepare meals for yourself using just a microwave?"
Microwave cooking is fine for very short term, like a week's vacation...but I wouldn't expect someone to actually LIVE like that--and take a massive pay cut for the privilege!   [/quote]

I’m a live-in nanny.  I can make small, nutritious meals for myself using an electric skillet, ninja blender and convection oven.  I don’t always have access to a family’s kitchen during my off hours.

However, if the family isn’t willing to provide those three appliances with a dorm-sized fridge, then I expect access to the kitchen to not be restricted at all.  I know how to cook with a microwave, but I refer to avoid microwaving (especially in plastic).[/quote]
