Welllll, not really.
I've never had the kind of jobs where it was possible. My main two on the books jobs were as a nurse's assistant and a bouncer (including some titty bars). You can't usually drag a kid into a patient's home, and you can't have anyone not employed there or a relative/representative of the patients present when providing care in nursing homes.
Now, the drag club, I would have gladly taken the one kid I partially raised in, but the whole alcohol laws made that a no-go. And my current kid, we've already got a trip to the city planned for when they can get in legally just for a good drag show.
However, back when I was raising what was essentially a nephew, but not related by blood, he did come to the office with me a few times when I was in home health, and did hang out in the office with me and my boss in the office during the day when one bar wasn't open.
But only the home health place was a semi official "take your kid to work" thing. Once was an inservice where we could bring kids since it was during hours they'd be out of school, the other was an actual bring your kids day.
The inservice one was decent enough, since I wasn't the only one to bring a kid, and they all had a lot of fun snacking and playing games supervised by a lady that was originally a peds nurse. The other, it was more of a boring-ass tour thing, so it flopped. But he wanted to go, and I didn't have anything better planned.
