Drizzled Peanut Butter on Bananas and Apples One of the most important job responsibilities a nanny has is to feed the children nutritious food. All of my charges (from toddler to teen) love protein-packed peanut butter on just about anything. You certainly don’t have to heat up the peanut butter to serve it on fruit, […]
Cooking for Kids Kids love strawberry and blueberry oatmeal. Instead of serving the one-minute, sugar-filled, instant oatmeal from a pack that can be made in the microwave it takes just a few extra minutes to make a heartier and healthier breakfast with the old-fashioned oatmeal. I simply prepare the oatmeal according to the directions on the box. But, I […]

Cooking With Kids When making dinner for kids most nannies wouldn’t consider using mushrooms. But since my charges have been served the same recipes as their parents since they started eating at the same dining table, they actually love some mushroom dishes. If you care for a child that doesn’t like mushrooms they still will love this grown-up […]
Cooking With Kids The kids I care for love pasta dishes. Baked Ziti is one of the easiest recipes to make and is a fun project and mini science project as well. I let the kids gather the food needed from the fridge and pantry, measure the ingredients, and mix the ingredients together. My youngest charge loves […]
Cooking for Kids With the exception of very spicy foods, when I feed the kids I care for the same food that I make for their parents I have found that they have surprisingly sophisticated palates.
