 your family's needs and preferences.

Ask Your Childcare Questions Here:
Visit our Facebook page to ask Westside Nannies your most burning
nanny-related questions. Each week, they will answer questions featured in our Class Newsletter published at the end of the week!
This week's question & answer:
Q: Our nanny's eating habits are different from our own, and sometimes she prepares unhealthy food for our children or eats bad food in front of them, even though these foods are customary to her culture. What can we say to her about enforcing nutrition without offending her culture or beliefs about food?
A: While this can be an awkward discussion to initiate with your nanny, your children's nutritional intake should always be a priority. Set aside a time to speak to your nanny privately at the end of her workday. Gently let her know that while you wholeheartedly respect her culture and unique food choices, you have noticed that your kids aren't getting the foods you require them to eat. Without focusing on her food choices and what she eats, have the conversation revolve around what your children are eating. If she is feeding your children healthy food but still eating junk food in front of them, you can also be candid about the fact that part of her job as nanny is to be a positive role model, even at mealtime. Finally, if your nanny seems to be uneducated about healthy, nutritious food choices, offer to pay for her to take a cooking course. At the end of the conversation, point out something she is excelling at to leave on a positive note.
