They kept her on her toes

Anna taught science to eight-year-old kids. They really kept her on her toes.

Does the underlined part mean "They kept her alert or nervous?" Thanks.
  

Top answer

Not so much nervous, but "at the top of her game," meaning she had to pay constant attention and be alert.
