I interviewed for a role that fits my experience/interests very well! The pay is great too. A job like this could be really life changing for me (even if I did it for just a year). The benefits and PTO are great. I have some hesitations however. The parents would like for their education to operate much like a traditional school (report cards, assessments). They’re paying a lot of money for their two children to have two teachers (not to mention that they already have other Nannies and an estate manager). I’m just a little conflicted. I’m getting this nagging gut feeling about it . I wonder, will my job security depend on whether or not the kids like me, if they feel motivated to work or how much they achieve ? My plan going into the interview is to just be really frank and ask them about what their expectations are for their nanny/educator. Hopefully they are reasonable people. What other questions should I make sure to ask them to ensure that I am protecting myself fully?

Edit: I’m not explaining this well lol. To clarify, I would never go into any job with the intention of failing. I just wanna weigh the risks. Just thinking of what I’ve experienced in the past as a teacher, sometimes kids catch on quickly, sometimes they don’t and it takes time to figure out what works for individual students. I’m just worried about things not being perfect from the very start. This is much different from my current role as a teacher where there’s space to make mistakes, grow and develop. Plus, parents/kids don’t pay you, or make the rules of your classroom. I’m just trying to imagine what the dynamic would be like when the parents are paying you.
