[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a nanny, and I think personality definitely matters. I can't see myself working for somebody who's the complete opposite of who I am and vice-versa. I don't mean being soulmates but must be something in common.

The family I worked with before: The mom was the biggest drama queen ever born. Every little single thing was a big deal. 
Nobody could stand her drama—no even her own family. I quit. I wasn't there for her, but a pleasant work environment is crucial for me.

Current family: The mom is the most thoughtful, easy-going, drama-free, sensitive, understanding person. I have told her husband a couple of times how lucky he is for having married her. [/quote]

Another nanny here and I agree. I had one well paying position, a few miles from home, easy kids, but always dreaded going on because of mom's personality. It got so uncomfortable I quit with notice.

OP, I agree with pp who mentioned a different stage. Please give a minimum 4-6 weeks notice and if she's been good to the kids, a modest severance would definitely be appreciated. Good luck!
