[quote=Anonymous]Our nanny is not who I thought she was.

When we interviewed we specifically asked for nannies who love animals.

When we interviewed her, she ranted and raved about her 'pets' and didn't seemed bother by our dogs. We have two dogs and a cat.

I know like clock work when they eat because they seem to have a routine of when they're hungry. I started first noticing she might not as pet friendly when our dog wanted to cuddle on the couch with her. Baby was sleeping and I was upstairs finishing work up. As I was making my way down, I heard a commotion. I heard her call  my dog stinky and said 'I dont know why they let you on here, you make a mess everywhere with your fur'. She seemed annoyed. I chalked it up as her just wanting to be alone. Then my husband noticed her behavior changed when she thought no one was looking with the dogs, as I did too overtime. He noticed our dogs, had not touched their food like they use to, concerned he asked nanny if they seemed ok. She said they seemed fine. Turns out, she had been locking them up for no good reason so when they were to eat they didn't as they were being crated. My husband would come home for a lunch breakand find the food untouched several times and then thought it was odd, its not like them. He forgot something once, recently and came home on a whim and without notice and of course he sae them crated, so he was able to put two and two together. Our dogs love to cuddle, get on furniture and just play with  baby, which I understand can be frustrating to someone when they're in your face all day, but they mean no harm. Do to how hyperactive they are, and just because we also want our pets to be safe, they are part of our family we wanted someone who loves animals and kids! We also pay far more then average for one child, do to the animal interaction. She agreed to this, signed a contracted and then seems to have lied about liking animals for the pay. Don't get me wrong,she is amazing with DD, but I don't know why I need to let her teach our child to not treat our animals with respect. It saddens and words can't explain how betrayed I feel. Now we have to let her go. There's a nanny down the street who also wintessed some of the lack of care for our dogs. She's been working for 2 years down the road. Always knew like clock work our dogs when out and she stopped seeing them come out for their potty time. Makes sense as to why they were having accidents in the house. This nanny has been gracious enough to watch our DD while we search, as her eldest charge is in school full time now and she just has a baby to watch. Just a vent. But nannies, why would someone do this? It is very hurtful. I paid very high for dealing with our active pets, as we do not like to crate them.[/quote]
