Feeling SO guilty...

And PP of right, it's two AND a half years. As in I've been there 2 ys + 1/2 yr = 2.5 yr or two years and a half year or two and a half years.

Yes, sorry for the mistake. Two AND a half...there.

I can stick it out for the summer, if they can't find someone to replace me sooner. I am moving to be closer to my university so I can easily continue my education. My hours will be cut, and I need a full time job, not part time. Also, personally it's been a job I was not happy at for about a year. I LOVE my charges so much, but I am not happy with my pay or working conditions. There are a lot of family and marital issues that I was dragged into, and it has just gotten worse and worse. I pretty much became the "SAHM" and often was not treated or spoken to with respect by the hand of MB. Lines of professionalism were crossed, which was partly my fault for being naive and being so new to the nanny business. I just can't continue to stay in a job that's making me so unhappy just because I want to help my charges have a sense of stability. As I mentioned, it is a two month notice and I feel like that is enough time for them to replace me. If they can't, I'm willing to stay longer until they find a suitable replacement.

. You are giving them a 2 month notice and have not received a raise in 2.5 years? No way would I return the bonus, you've earned it! Good luck in school, you certainly don't want to do this for the rest if your life! How much was the bonus?

$250

Also, I don't see a problem with nannying as a career choice.

Two months is very generous notice. Its good that you're willing to be flexible with them, but I would not indicate that you will stay until they find someone else. You need to give them a target date to shoot for, or they may drag their feet. If after 2 months they haven't found someone, and they are genuinely trying, maybe offer them another 2 weeks, but don't leave the end date open. I'm speaking from experience. My MB was lovely, and I wasn't in a hurry to leave, but she really took her sweet time finding someone and became very picky about perfectly acceptable candidates more qualified than myself.

It's just overall not a good situation, and I know it's time for me to move on but at the same time I know NF is about to go through a really difficult time. Should I still turn in my notice Friday? What should I say? When I do give in my notice, I'm planning on giving my bonus back, does that seem ok?

Can yo give to me this job ,I have been looking for job 4 months already ,I can't understand this life...

Well, it's not me who will be hiring the next nanny. Plus, I don't live in the area.

Very small room for growth with a low annual cap, unless you are a 24 hour nanny or work for the super elite; short term jobs only, except for very rare circumstances; the profession is looked down upon; no retirement fund and rare to get healthcare. If you want to work with children long term, you'd find more stability in teaching.
