[quote=Anonymous]OP, take the PP's advice on asking neighbors, friends, trusted family, etc. about your dogs.

I am a huge animal lover, but I took a nanny position once with one child and one dog and that dog drove me to the edge of sanity. She was extremely high energy, jumped on everyone, didn't get enough exercise, had long sharp claws, would knock the toddler over as she charged by all the time - indoor and out, ignored commands, brought ticks into the house, etc. She was basically unmanageable and our days became me hauling the child around on dog related activities (hikes in the woods, trips to the dog park, walks around the neighborhood) because we couldn't do anything without her destroying it in some way.

So..you love your dogs, and maybe you don't see how wild they can be with other people? Yes, maybe they're lovely and this nanny really doesn't like dogs, or didn't realize how much work it would be (it can be very stressful trying to ensure the safety of someone else's child with someone else's dogs milling about - nannies know that even the best dogs are still animals and need to be supervised closely), but maybe your dogs need some extra training before another nanny takes over with them.[/quote]
