Yes, of course. Plus, not one single court in this country would try to make you work in a private home where you don't want to work. Not one.

4:45 is nothing but an abusive bully. Shame on her.

Quit right AFTER you CASH your paycheck so they don't have a temper tantrum and put a stop payment on your paycheck.

First OP, a nanny contract is impossible to withheld in any court of law in our country. A judge cannot order you to work a few weeks nor can he order you to pay anyone.

Let's say things did actually get that far.
Then you could argue about how the family didn't hold up their end by creating a hostile work environment thus making any "contract" completely null and void.

Exactly.

You should quit. That is what employment at will is all about. They can fire you on the spot and you can quit on the spot. I don't even include notice requirements in my contracts since each situation has ended differently.
