[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I bring my own food but am also offered free range of the kitchen for anything I'd like. It works out because the kids always want to share my breakfast/lunch/dinner, and since I know there is other food I can eat I am happy to spoon out portions of my yogurt/oatmeal/stir fry for them. I am really surprised to hear how unprofessional some nannies are, expecting food purchases and the time to cook! If I were a new employer I'd probably tell the nanny to help herself to whatever she finds but would have a chat if she was using 30-60 minutes (not at naptime!) to cook. At which point I'd say, "Sophie, we are happy for you to continue eating whatever appeals to you but if you plan on cooking a hot meal please prepare it at home and heat it up here -- or cook it during naptime."[/quote] And we wonder why kids are going off to college without knowing how to put together their own pizza! Their nannies are forbidden to cook in front of the kids. How funny![/quote] Children should see, and help with meal preparation when able, every single day. Isn't that common sense?[/quote]
