[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter and I are vegetarian but I knew finding a fellow veggie as an Au Pair would be impossible. So for the first time in 20 years there was meat in my home.  My only request to my Au Pair was that she not offer any to my daughter.

She did eat at home with us many nights (though she considered 5 or 6pm very early for dinner but hey, I work 7am-3pm) and she often prepared food from her country for us but always separate from her meat preparation. She is a wonderful 4th  Au Pair as were our others.  There was nothing I left out in interviews -- especially the food situation.  They  were all worth the compromise to my dietary values. [/quote]

That's interesting...we found so many vegetarian candidates last go around!  We actually ended up with one.  We eat mostly vegetarian but also bought her veggie hot dogs/etc so she always had things to eat if we had a rare meat meal.
As for the suggestion to give them gift cards/extra money for Wendy's, I wouldn't.  I'd buy bags of potatoes/meat that they want to eat, but again, if you said during matching that you eat a certain way and she's now decided that's not good enough AND she doesn't want to cook, it's up to her to fiure that out.
