[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What did you expect her eating habits would be? I presume you knew she was obese upon hiring?[/quote]

When I hired her she was picking my kids up after school at 3:30 and hanging out at the library or taking them to activities, so she had already eaten lunch.  I knew she ate crap because she would often toss her fast food bags in our garbage, but eating this stuff in front of them day after day was never a consideration until pandemic times.[/quote]

Two routes to go here: Use the nanny as an example of what not to eat or figure out a way to incorporate your healthy foods into her diet. Might take some creativity but it can be done. Won't be perfect but worth a try. Eating is so personal that it's difficult to approach it without hurt feelings. Provide the foods. Make it helping you with your diet or something where she can save face and not feel controlled.

My children had a morbidity obese teacher in a small school where you have the same teacher for multiple years and also in clubs so familiarity. It didn't impact them although I recognize the school day is shorter and less intimate than care. [/quote]
