[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tough if I want to drink a coke, eat chips and a Snickers in front of your kid, I will.  [/quote]

And  nannies get upset when people refer to them as babysitters.  This is the reason why you are a babysitter and not a nanny.[/quote]
Wait, so now we are qualifying peoples job titles based on diet? So if my doctor eats a cheeseburger for lunch I have to refer to her as a nurse? Come off it, you are just ridiculous (and your comment added nothing useful or constructive at all). [/quote]

Your doctor isn't eating in front of your children and helping to model good eating habits.  I eat all sorts of things when I'm not working, but when I'm working, what I eat is healthy.

To hear things like "I'm not your child's role model" and "I will eat in front of your kid whatever I want" (though this poster says she is not a nanny, but in other discussions about food and children, comments like this have been made) do not speak highly of what a nanny is supposed to be.

Nannies spend up to 10-11 hours a day with their employer's children.  To hear someone say, well, it isn't my job to model healthy behavior is just wrong.  Children watch every move you make.  Parents hired  you to give quality care to their children while they are not there.  If any of you ever spent even five minutes reading a book on childhood development, you would know this.

My employers know that their children's manners, eating habits and behaviors are greatly influenced by the time I spend with their children.  To say we don't influence those things is wrong.

And yes, I know I got off topic here.  Employer should not have eaten her food.  She should be reimbursed.  [/quote]
If you would climb down off of your high horse, perhaps you would be able to read what I was actually responding to. The PP claimed that if someone eats "poorly" in front of a child, they deserve to be referred to as a babysitter, because no professional nanny would ever do such a thing. I was pointing out that eating habits do not correspond to job title. A nanny is a nanny, even if she eats 10 lean cuisines a day. Perhaps your healthy behavior modeling could extend past food and be reflected in the way you treat others as well (eg judging someone you have never met). [/quote]
