[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nanny here.

I worked for a Jewish family who kept Kosher. For the kids meals I would just give them dairy since they would want milk as a beverage anyway.

As for the belief system, I respected it. I did not purposely put dishes in the wrong cabinet or mix the two. It was not about my beliefs. Once I did accidentally grab a dairy plate and put turkey slices on it. I told the family and they assured me that it was okay and these things happen.

It is about mutual respect. They understood that I do not keep Kosher, and therefore would take some getting used to their rules. I understand that their religion is important to them, in their home.

They did pay above market, but not by a huge amount. I will admit, a few times I may have dropped a meat fork into the dairy side of the sink, and I made sure to clean it really well so it was not impure. But I would never have purposely just said "Well forget it!" and mixed the two.[/quote]
Good that they at least did pay you extra.[/quote]
