[quote=Anonymous]Live-in nanny here.  I only take positions that provide my food, that's part of the trade-off that the family gives to get extreme flexibility.

However, I eat healthy food, and once kids start eating food along with formula, everything I eat can be shared (within reason and with extra cooking time to start, of course).  I always have kids in the kitchen with me while I cook, and practically everything I serve is prepared from raw ingredients (exceptions for dairy).  Unless there are food allergies or one child needs extra fats, there is no reason to make more than one meal.  On the other hand, I never spend more than 30 minutes preparing a meal, and kids never play more than 15 minutes while I prep (not running wild, they're either in pack'n'play, screened-in porch where I can watch/talk through the open window, or gated area next to my workspace).  The parents choose to use processed food for the kids when I don't prepare enough ahead for weekends/rare dinners, but that is their choice.  I have yet to meet a child who doesn't want to shove veggies into the food processor, push the buttons on the blender, pick fruits/veggies for the next meal or otherwise help.[/quote]
