Perhaps she isn't responding because her logical, sensible advice got written off as a troll post (BTW, that word doesn't mean what you all seem to think it does). Why would anyone with anything useful to say continue to return here while you immature bitchy nannies tear down every single response that doesn't imply that nannies should be able to do whatever the f*** they want to all day and be paid $30 for the privilege of their presence?

If kids don't go down for nap until 2.30, they are getting up late (9am or later), so shift your eating patterns so that you eat a decent breakfast at 7.30, light lunch at 2.30, then dinner when you're off. It sounds like the kids are infants and toddlers, and that's what I do until kids are old enough to eat the same things I eat. Once they are capable of eating everything I eat (sometime between 1 and 2.5, as some parents prefer to have kids slowly introduced to spices and "exotic" foods), I eat while kids are eating. I eat one bite in between each bite for the child/helping the child. It teaches the child patience, lets me model proper table behavior and manners, and the child learns to enjoy healthy food.

If your employer is requiring that you work for over 6 hours without eating, you need to sit down and talk immediately. I'm hypoglycemic, so waiting that long could cause major issues for me, but it can screw with anyone's system.

PP I get that you are "hypoglycemic" (not a real medical condition, its a medical occurrence) but most people should be more than capable of lasting 6 hours without food...do you wake up in the middle of the night to snack?

How does that make a difference?

I usually have to beg my nanny to eat. What is the age of your kids?

Nannies never require anyone's permission when to have their meals. Silly op should sue them.

No one dares to tell a nanny when to eat. Op has to be the troll poster.

Say what?!

You need to eat when you're hungry. No need to get silly about this.

Why can't you eat when the kids are eating?

When can a nanny have her lunch? My employers wants me to have my lunch when I put the kids to sleep at their naptime which is after 2:30 pm.i work 10 hours a day. Am I entitled to have dinner time too because I'm a live in nanny and I usually work at 9 am to 7pm on all weekdays.sometimes they ask me to start earlier like after 7 am or at 8 am and as long as I finish my 10 hours I can get off early. Please advice! Thanks!
