New puppy, more responsibility being thrown onto me. Please help!
So I’m at a loss. Just started this job a month ago nannying 40hrs week 4B and 7mo G. They got a puppy 2 days ago. He’s two months. They live in a two bedroom apartment and the living room space is tiny. The dad works in the boys room. Today the puppy thinks the baby is a toy and tried playfully biting her when I was watching the whole thing happen and trying to push the puppy away it happened in an instant. The father wfh so he took puppy in room.
Saturdays will be a problem because I’ll have the boy and the baby and the puppy while both parents are gone. Now I’ll have to put the baby away in crib if I have to use bathroom or wash bottles or do any sort of tidying up instead of bouncer so she’ll scream and wail. Not to mention I’ll have to walk the puppy on Saturdays but they say he doesn’t like to walk yet so I’ll have to bring baby and boy downstairs with puppy, let puppy pee and poop, bring them all back then bring kids down again. It’s a hassle and I didn’t sign up for the responsibility of a puppy. I can’t quit this job right now.
Do I ask for more pay on Saturdays? And the days I’ll be alone with puppy? I already get an additional $5 for the boy I was thinking an additional $5 for dealing w puppy all day Saturdays too. It’s already a nightmare job with the baby and boy (refer to other post) and this makes it a million times more difficult.
They said they don’t expect me to feed or walk him but realistically I don’t see how I won’t especially on Saturdays? They seem to not think ahead and said they “forgot” how much work a puppy is. When I asked if I should Make sure I’m washing her toys more often because the puppy slobbers on them they said no we don’t really care(?!)
