New job offer

[Anonymous]

I got a job offer for taking care two children after school and daycare.
One is 6 years old and one is 3 years old and they both are boys .
I have to be with them from 2 to 7 or 3 to 7.
The issue is the dad don’t want me to take them out and their home is very tiny. They have very small yard as well.
I always took children out for walk or to the park.
They have lot of energy and to be honest I played with them all day long with blocks and read books for them but at one point I started to have headaches

Mom said she is okay if I take them out but dad said no .

So it’s complicated situation.
Finally dad said I can’t take them out since he has anxiety if something happens to them .
Which doesn’t make sense.
Before I go and do commitment I want advice from folks who are working in same situation.
I am on medication ( mental health so I don’t want to put myself anywhere that I have to deal with stress)
Many thanks

What is the question?
They offered you a job.
The terms of the job are not a good fit for you.
You should decline the offer.

This is not for you then. I could entertain the kids in 20x20 back yard but that's me.

This is very simple, the job isn’t the right fit for you; if a potential employer has clearly shared that there’s some anxiety going on, I’d not want to take on that AND small home where there’s no space for toddlers, no thanks I’ll pass.

Are you looking for a job ? I am op I can introduce you with the family .

You definitely need to decline any job offer working for this family.

You shouldn’t be receiving two different/conflicting set of directions from both parents but most importantly > the Father has a huge anxiety issue & it is outrageous that he would expect you + his two sons to remain indoors all day.

This job will likely make your headaches much worse.

You are much better off continuing your job search OP.

Good luck!

Don’t take the job

It's just a few hours a day and if you are not confident you can manage your stress you need to decline this role. It's probably not a good idea to be a nanny anyway if you are worried about your mental health. Consider maybe working in a daycare where there are other adults around.
