Very Picky Eaters...?

Begin by finding out their likes and dislike and tips from their parents and don't let them dominate what you make for them, ultimately it is their responsibility unless they are avoiding that one themselves, and then set the rules that it is you who decides what you will cook that is the same for all of them and not something for one and something different for another.

You have to set the rules from the start otherwise you are no more than their skivvy.

So, the basically don't like cheese? Try veggies and hummas. Grilled chicken in pitas with hummus with cucumber yougurt sauce. Salmon or tilapia. Will they eat baked pasta dishes, lasagna. Rice and chicken. There is a lot of stuff to try. But shouldn't the parents be helping you with this? I am also a nanny and when I am required to feed the kids the family provides the food and just prepare it how they ask. Or they at least give me the ingredients and do what I want with them. Don't they do the shopping or do you? Ask them to get some different stuff for the kids to try.

I work for 2 different families and one eats very healthy and I prepare the food they ask me to. The other has very picky kids and again I just make the limited food my family provides.

All of the above except the bad tempered part about cheese melting. I would offer that you could think of some of your job as nanny as widening the kids horizons, though. My attitude towards picky eaters is, "Well, i guess you don't eat tonight then.........." (I know you can't do that, here) You'll do them a favor in life by helping to break their bad eating habits, little by little.

I don't cook for picky eaters, but ask their mom, since she is providing the food and she also 'created' these little 'monsters'.

Kids aren't born picky, they are following others example by watching other picky people turn their nose at perfectly good food.

Maybe you can set some good examples by making food interesting and fun.

How about checking with their parents to see what the kids prefer? You might see if they like:

Fresh fruit

Fresh green beans, cooked crisp tender and served with almonds or lemon butter

Cauliflower in cheese sauce

Salmon patties

etc.

You're asking for a list of all recipes apart from shitty instant cheese-based foods? OK, how about some vegetables? I've heard some people say that they're actually GOOD for kids.

Talk to their parents about it, and maybe they could give you a list of things they like eating, or they might talk to their kids about needing to eat what they're given.

I suggest talking to the parents and see what they usually eat. Maybe they have a more "grown up" taste?
