[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is about living with the employer.
not just being their nanny. Being just nanny is different

Based on this thread I do not see how a nanny could be happy living in

What if you want to bring in your own food? Cook when they are fasting, take time off when it is your religious holiday. Go out on Friday night or drive a car on Saturday or carry a bag[/quote]

Even the most observant of Jews don't care what other people do. Ie just because an Orthodox Jew doesn't turn lights on and off during Shabbat doesn't mean a non-Orthodox Jew or non-Jew can't turn lights on and off in the Orthodox home. No one would force a non Jew to follow Jewish customs. Of course the nanny could go out on Friday night and no one would expect her to fast just because the family was. I'd be shocked if the children were fasting anyway. Children under 13 are exempt from that usually so certainly the non-Jewish nanny would not be expected to fast. Nor would she be expected to celebrate the Jewish holidays anymore than a Christian family would expect a non-Christian nanny who loved with them to celebrate Christmas. [/quote]
