[quote=Anonymous]Yes, I live in a "dog town", pretty much every family I've interviewed with and worked with here has / at least/ one dog, and often two or three of them. It sucks. One of the families I work with has a pit bull mix that has to be kept separate from the kids because he growls at them etc, and their house is kind of small so I'm always shuffling him back and forth between the family room and the  kitchen, and it's increasingly difficult to keep the kids away from him. The other family I work with has two dogs and I have to clean up dog vomit there at least once per week. One of their dogs is especially a pain; I can't leave food out in that kitchen unattended for even a second or she will jump up and eat it. The family I used to work with (for 2.5 years) had a dog that smelled so so bad and was always up in my business. I tried to keep her outside but she often barked a lot and had to be inside (and they had the muddiest yard so I had to clean her paws every time she came in which was a pain as I was in charge of an infant and toddler who were both very high needs).

Interestingly enough, many of the families I babysit for on occasional evenings and weekends here don't have dogs, but their kids are in daycare all day. I wonder if some families who have dogs opt for nannies so they have someone to take care of their dog during the day too? :([/quote]
