My parents always tried to plan meals so that babysitters didn't have to do much effort (no cooking, no calling a pizza guy). They would make ahead something that could sit out a while (mac and cheese) or make up plates/sandwiches ahead of time that could be eaten cold or just put in the microwave. Since there are two of them it may not be an issue. But I know as a sitter it was nice not to have to cook because I wasn't used to juggling a kid and cooking at the same time (plus lots of dangerous stuff for kids in kitchens).

I think a frozen pizza is a great option! I'd love that, as a babysitter/nanny for over 10 years, that was always my go-to choice when making something to eat while taking care of the kiddos.

Is your LO too little to eat? I always let them eat what the kid is having. My babysitters watch the kids all day once and brought thier own food (but they are picky eaters). Frozen pizza or Mac and Cheese is easy and will probably go over well.

We typically just tell them to help themselves to anything in the fridge/cupboard (except alcohol). If we need them to make something for LO then I make sure to leave all the ingredients in an easy to find location and do something simple like frozen pizza or mac-n-cheese. Most of the time though if they are only sitting for a couple of hours they will eat before they get there.
