What Causes Itchy Bumps On Chest, Head And Neck?

I started having an itchy head and neck a few days ago. My little 2 years old got a rash on her chest exam the same time and started itching her head and neck too. The only thing that had changed was that I had hired a babysitter who has a dog black lap, brittany spaniel mix, and the girl used to work in army. Now after a few days I feel itchy bumps in my scalp and neck and my daughter itches her head and neck skin too. I also see a small red rash behind her ear.
