Is there ever a time when I should pass up a summer nanny job?

Passing Up the Perfect Summer Nanny Job

No matter how badly you need a job, it's no good to accept one if it isn't going to suit you. Let's say you've got some serious allergies to bee stings. What makes you think you're going to be able to survive working a summer nanny job at a bee keeper's farm? There aren't enough EpiPens in town to keep you from going into shock. Some things, like dairy allergies, are much easier to control. Unless a blob of milk is going to fly out of the container and down your throat, you've pretty much got that one under control.

Before you take a summer nanny job, consider your own health and your ability to do a good job. How safe is it going to be for the kids if you're on the floor with a swollen face? As much as you want and need that summer nanny job, don't take a job that could cause you any harm. In order for the kids to be safe and well, you have to be safe and well.

Of course, not every allergy is cause to pass up a summer nanny job offer. If you're allergic to cats, for example, some antihistamines might be all you need to function as a summer nanny. If you accept a summer nanny job working for the “crazy cat lady”, you might have some serious problems breathing.

Remember, by putting your own health in jeopardy, you're automatically putting the health of the children in jeopardy as well.
