[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for the advice.   Taking care of the dog is part of her contract.

Since we have a summer home far away from DC, this nanny's job will end in the late spring (per the contract).

We'd much rather deal with these issues and better "manage" her than fire at this point.[/quote]

If she's part-time, there's only about 6 months left for the contract and only minor issues, it makes more sense to deal with her and the issues rather than spending time and money finding a better nanny.  However, there are a ton of nannies who (understandably) don't want to be micromanaged, so be prepared for her to quit if she feels like you don't trust her.

Perhaps you can take steps to minimize her accidents without making her feel micromanaged?  Maybe you could have a sippy cup with you, already assembled, and a bottle of water for yourself, so that you could fill the sippy cup from your water bottle?  Short of keeping the dog in the house during her shift, I'm not sure what to recommend, but I do understand that it's irresponsible to leave an animal outside when there were clear instructions and it's in the contract.[/quote]
