[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I disagree with the majority...but I am a nanny and compensated very well to be exactly what the parents want me to be..I am careful what music I play on the radio...what I would put on the tv...I dress nicely every day because I am out with these kids all day and it's a reflection one the family....so I don't see how this is different. Some parents don't want their kids to be around chips etc..if its a good job and you like it, why not just pack fruit, yogurt, healthy leftovers etc...maybe I am crazy but I can see where this moms coming from..I tell the 2 I nanny all the time that food like chips, Doritos etc are for other people not them so maybe that is a helpful response..I can see too where this would be offensive but I would try and roll with it.

Wow!  A Stepford nanny.[/quote]

She is not being a robot, she is an employee who takes her job seriously and knows that her own preferences and wants do not trump those of the family she works for. It's amazing to see how affronted people become at a simple request like "don't eat like crap in front of my kids".  This is a job that requires you to be an example the entire time you are on, why should health and diet be an exemption? OP, if you really need to eat a bag of cheetos or some oreos each day, wait until you get home. This is not an attack on your personal liberties, simply a term of employment request (which should be able to evolve with a family's/nanny's needs).[/quote]
