[quote=Anonymous]I agree that she was not a good fit, and it sounds like she wasn't honest with you, but...

Before you look for a new nanny, please ask some close friends for the honest truth:  Are your dogs badly behaved?  I know several couples who got a dog and treated it more as their pseudo-baby, consequently the dogs were incredibly spoiled and poorly trained.  As a nanny who is truly a dog lover, I find untrained dogs to be really annoying.  If the problem is that your dogs are spoiled, you don't just need a nanny who has dogs and loves dogs, you need a nanny who understands that you consider the dogs to be children, not pets, and is willing to treat them accordingly.  Be sure you are clear about your expectations, and be clear with your new nanny that if the dogs are interfering with her ability to care for the baby (such as climbing on the play mat on the floor, barking incessantly during naptime, chewing baby's toys) you will not reprimand her for including the dogs at the expense of the baby.[/quote]
