[quote=Anonymous]I am a nanny who resides in Southern CA. We are currently [i]suffering[/i] an extended heat wave that isn't going to go any time soon.
Where I work at, in an inland area the temp soars to triple digits. 
My charge is 3 yrs old and I work 3 days per week, at 10-12 hrs each.
He takes a nap daily, however his naps usually last an hour, more or less.
His mother requests that I take him out once per day which is totally reasonable to me.
However I am not allowed to drive him anywhere, we can only walk in the stroller.
Normally this is not an issue, the days are long and he gets quite stir crazy when we don't go outdoors.
This triple digit heat along with oppressive humidity on top makes getting out tough.

They live on top of a hilly street, so going down isn't so bad.
But after a day at the park where there are no trees, or the library where the A/C doesn't work, I dread taking him out, then having to push the stroller up a HUGE hill.
By the time I get to the top, I am drenched in sweat, dying of thirst and very very dizzy.
I have A/C in my car so I would be willing to drive him places where we can be much cooler, but she has told me time and time again, no driving allowed.

And like I stated, there are no cool zones for us to walk to.
I'm starting to dread going into work knowing I will be sweating, dizzy and miserable a good part of the day.

They have strong A/C in their house, I would much prefer to stay home inside, but she's the boss. Any ideas??[/quote]
