I think some of this depends on how and where you were raised - we have neighbors from holland and the West Indies that both keep their a/c at 80 - I find it completely miserable - like I literally can't stand in the foyer of their house I am so bloody hot. I grew up in a house that was set to 70/72 during the day and 66 at night - and I still keep it that way! My in laws set their house to 76 and I even find that hot.

My nanny family let's me control the temperature when I'm working even when they're working from home.
They want the kids and nanny to be comfortable.

I would definitely talk to them and make it clear that you can't work like that.
Also, a 90F pool sounds miserable.

I would never tolerate inconsiderate employers. My work is too important to have that kind of interference.

OP here- I talked to the parents about the a/c, apparently the mom is always cold so she won't budge. She goes to the office all day but then is cold when she gets home at night. Whatever. MB complained that I haven't been taking the boys in the pool and I told it it was too hot and made me feel sick. Last week they heated the pool then the sun heated the pool and when we went in it was 93. I told my bosses I would no longer go in the pool when it's above 85, so at least now they're not heating it anymore. MB maybe needs to eat more food or something because there's no reason to be so cold all the time. The boys are in school full time starting next year and I think after this summer I'm going to give my notice. It's not worth it anymore, especially when after 4 years the parents clearly don't care about me or my comfort.
