i think it would depend very much on the context. if it was the kind of place where i had to look after the boss's kid, but the boss wouldn't look after mine (or look out for me in other ways) then i wouldn't like it. but if it went both ways - why not? my current boss works in a shed behind the house. i don't work there, but when i visit i would guess i've distracted his kid (older) while he's been on the phone a couple of times. it wasn't a problem. anyway, thanks for clarifying. i can see what concerns you now.
