Stupid, isn't it? Provide food for your nanny!
I don’t expect my employers to let me eat their food, but if they do say I can I usually don’t. I always like to eat my own food. Occasionally I’ll eat certain things that expire soon and need to be thrown out
So you're also their garbage disposal?
No you cynic
I hate wasting food and if I like it and it’s arill edible I’ll eat it. Jeez

Giving her reign over buying fresh produce and veg mid-week led to a $60 organic cost each Wednesday for foods my young children never ate.
So that was the end of that. We then moved to a system where the only food in the house was for the kids and stuff the kids actually would eat. We bought the proteins at cost co every other month and froze sections of fish, chicken, beef.
Now your nanny was taking advantage of you for sure. If my MB bought me food every week I would’ve ate it!

But buying berries, nuts, spinach, etc. only for nanny was not on our list of To Dos. We ate Blue aprons and breakfast/lunch at the office.
Same here blue apron and lunch at office so not really extra food in the house. Whatever she can find she can have but If I’m hiring someone to help me why would I add additional tasks ( and cost) to my to do list like buying her food...

We always have lunch for our nanny. She eats with DD.
It never occurred to me not to even when DD was a baby on pumped milk.

We’ve always seen the nanny bring her lunches. Whole neighborhood.
I guess if you want to grocery shop and buy her special foods for her, that’s your prerogative.
