[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I are very happy with the quality of our childcare arrangement (nanny share, hosted by other family). However, anytime nanny is on leave we have no back-up and have to stay home w/ DC. The reason is we have a neurotic dog that we can't take to dog daycare, can't confine, and can't leave in the house with a stranger. In any of these situations dog will bark all day long (literally).

I'm thinking about asking neighbors if we can drop DC off at their house with their nanny on these occasions, but that seems really unfair to ask (of course we would pay her, but still, she wouldn't be used to caring for 2 and our DC is a high energy toddler). The past couple of months our nanny has been out sick about one day every other week or so (plus she has some vacation coming up) and it's getting hard for us to take off work all the time. Has anyone else BTDT with a crazy dog and what was your backup plan?[/quote][b]

Nanny here- The person you should be asking is the nanny. I don't want extra work because you can't get your life together. The neighbors nanny isn't your nanny, lady.[/quote]
