[quote=Anonymous]OP - What I've found is that what I put in contract with my nanny, as well as what we discussed when she first joined our famiy, set the baselines with some wiggle room. When she asked if she could eat whatever's in the fridge for lunch, I said something like 'I'd prefer that you bring your lunch, but you're welcome to coffee, tea, etc.' It's seemed to have worked out fine; I don't have to worry about not having enough of the leftovers I planned to serve for dinner, but I don't bat an eyelid when she takes extra fruit for herself when she grabs some for my daughter for a snack. Regarding the phone use, I asked that when my daughter isn't napping, that she limit personal use - except in emergencies - to 10 min a day. Not that I actually count the minutes, but she's smart enough to understand that I don't want her glued to her phone when she's watching my daughter. [/quote]
