  If you&rsquo;re interested in pursuing
  <a href="/sites/cca/travel-job-search">travel allied health opportunities</a>,
  but have children, you may be wondering if it&rsquo;s actually doable. Plenty
  of travel respiratory therapists have children and still take on short-term
  assignments. However, it does require some additional planning if you want to
  make it work. Consider the following factors to determine if becoming a travel
  respiratory therapist is an option if you have children.
</div>

<h2>Childcare</h2>

<div>
  If you have younger children, childcare will be a major factor when
  determining if you can travel. Some travel respiratory therapists make it work
  by having a spouse or family member come along to provide childcare. You can
  also investigate childcare options in your assignment area to see if
  they&#39;ll work with your schedule.
</div>

<h2>Location</h2>

<div>
  Think about how child-friendly a location is before you considering taking on
  an assignment and bringing your children. If there are family-friendly
  attractions and it&#39;s a relatively safe environment, it could be a great
  experience for them. On the other hand, if it&#39;s lacking in amenities for
  them to enjoy, you may regret it. You could also pick a location that is near
  your home for times you want to keep your children to a set routine.
</div>

<h2>Housing</h2>

<div>
  Traveling with children makes it a little trickier to secure the right housing
  accommodations. You&#39;ll need more room obviously, and have to be more
  selective about it than if you were by yourself. However, if you let our team
  know ahead of time, they can work with you to find housing that best fits your
  needs.
</div>

<h2>Times of Year</h2>

<div>
  An option that traveling respiratory therapists with children often take is to
  select assignments in attractive places that align with common vacation times,
  such as spring break, holidays, or summer vacation. It ends up pulling double
  duty: the kids get a fun trip, while you still bring a steady paycheck.
</div>

<h2>Schooling</h2>

<div>
  Dealing with your children&#39;s schooling while traveling requires planning,
  but is doable. Some families opt for homeschooling or online schooling if they
  want to consistently travel, while other parents wait to take assignments
  until school is out for the year.
