[quote=Anonymous]MB here who has hired two nannies in 10 years.

People are questioning you just because they are DCUM moms.  Ignore them.

What I have found in searching for nannies is that there is probably a person out that will meet your needs, you just need to find them.  We hired our last nanny via 4nannies.com, but she was on care.com as well.  We are just wrapping up 4 great years with her.   Depending on your timing, there may just be someone who wants a few months.  Don't fret, and be honest when you post on any site looking for a nanny that this is through a certain date.

As for the dog, it sounds like you have two issues with the dog - (1) he is disruptive and hard to control  and (2) he needs to relieve himself at some point during the day.  Make sure when you post your listing that you say that you have a dog.    Make clear that the nanny's sole responsibility for the dog would be to let him out (depending on if you have a fence).  If you can afford a neighborhood teen to walk him daily, that might be a good bet for you.  You may need to teach some of the tactics the trainer taught you to your nanny and your dogwalker.

As for background checks, we used 4nannies.com for our check.  It seemed to show what we needed.

Good luck.  [/quote]
