Or like cabbies, charge $75 vomit cleanup fee.

Animals are different than kids. this is disgusting.

If my nanny said this I would find a new one. Seriously. Don't be such a prima donna.

Yuck. I would never clean up kid vomit for a living.

Cleaning up dog puke wouldn't bother me much. I would have just cleaned it up as soon as I had a chance. I probably would have sighed and grimaced a few times while telling the parents about it later.

My employers used to have a really old dog who had accidents in the house just about daily. The first 20 or so times I cleaned it up, I mentioned it to the parents. After that, it was so routine I didn't even think to mention it to the parents. I cleaned up the potty accidents because otherwise the kids would walk in it and slip. I cleaned up the poop accidents because the kids would get so "interested" in it I joked that they wanted to call CNN because to them this was really big news.

It is all part of the job. No big deal, at least in my opinion.

It may have been part of YOUR job, but it's not mine! I will scoop litter boxes while a family is on vacation, take care of diapers for children too young for toilet training, train kids/puppies/kittens to do their business where they are supposed to do it. I will clean up after sick kids without a problem, but i am not going to be cleaning up after sick animals on a regular basis.

I would not clean it up because it isn't a nanny's duty to take care of animals.

It is not a nanny's duty to clean up dog poop, pee, or vomit. Get a damn pet sitter.

Exactly.

It would be cheaper and more reasonable to fire the high strung nanny rather than have a high strung nanny and a dog sitter who waits around to see if the dog decides to barf today.

Or decide that if you have a dog who does this frequently, you need to make other arrangements for your pet. That may be as simple as having the animal in a different part of the house.

OP, has the dog barfed again?
