[quote=Anonymous]FWIW, we are currently hosting a vegetarian au pair (we are not vegetarian) and it's actually worked out great.  Before we selected her, we told her that 1) she had to prepare meat for DD and 2) we would not buy any special food items for her (not actually true, but we wanted to set expectations).

Her diet largely consists of rice, beans, eggs, and veggies.  She feeds DD the same and will typically add on meatballs or fish sticks or something like that.  It's honestly cheaper for us (in actuality, we buy her anything she asks for us) and DD is eating healthier.  It was much more expensive for us when a previous au pair decided to go on a health kick and wanted us to get organic salmon, shrimp, nuts, etc.

Fundamentally, I think it comes down to personality.  This au pair has a very easy personality, and is not a "new convert" to vegetarianism.

I feel like this is the only happy story any non-vegetarian host family has had about hosted a vegetarian, so I thought I would share![/quote]
