[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 if you are living in with somehow who is about as strict as get gets with jewish religious law, most of these things won't be a problem. There's no concept at all in Judaism that non Jews should follow jewish law. (Except done very specific exceptions that would suprise no one, like not killing or stealing)

So, non kosher food in a kosher kitchen is a problem. But, eating on fast days, not following the sabbath, having specific holidays off... Those won't be issues.[/quote]
So the family will be offended if the nanny buys ham and keeps it in the refridgerator
The family that fasts will not want her to cook herself breakfeast

Can the family not pay more to get a jewish nanny? Sounds like the non-jewish alternative is cheaper[/quote]

Can you not read or are you just trying to be difficult. Several PP have said of course she can cook herself breakfast even if the family is fasting. The only thing that MAY be an issue is keeping ham in their fridge but I guess if a nanny really likes ham she wouldn't be a good fit. I'm not kosher but I don't really like ham so it wouldn't really be a big deal to me.  Stop trying to make this about money, a Jewish nanny wouldn't charge more so it has nothing to do with what is cheaper. [/quote]
Have you ever had a Jewish nanny?[/quote]
