[quote=Anonymous]I'm on the west coast too, in a city that doesn't have a reputation for heat. It does get hit in the summer and we're not used to it so most houses don't have central ac. Global warming is definitely affecting out weather, making it much hotter. My first nanny job was for a family from the east coast. Their house was situated so the hot afternoon sun beat in and made the kitchen at least 100 degrees. The kids couldn't sleep. It was awful. The mom bought two window ac units then decided she didn't want to spend the money on them and complained when the guy at the family owned hardware store wouldn't take them back. She said he was giving good Jews like her a bad reputation. (Never mind he wasn't the one returning two ac units at the end of summer because she was too cheap to use them.) the next summer it got hot again and I told them on Friday I wouldn't be back until they got the ac installed and running because it was simply too hot for all of us. Monday morning the ac was in the window and on. You need to just tell them the work environment is untenable and needs to change. Be prepared for them to say see ya but don't give in. This is your health. [/quote]
