It will be for a long term but they want me to give them a "promise" that I wont quit less than 8 months. They're getting divorce so I'm pretty sure more drastic changes will happen.

So you say something like this: “Barring circumstances that would force me to quit (list a few examples: not paying me, adult yelling at me, kid hitting/kicking/biting me, death in my family, long-term illness, etc), I can promise to try to be a stable presence in your children’s lives for at least 8 months. I understand that divorce is traumatic for kids, and a stable caregiver can have a tremendous influence on a child’s psyche. I can also promise that, in the event that I need to quit, I do try to stay in touch with my charges.”

If you aren’t capable of promising that, I don’t know why you want to be a nanny.

What kind of childcare has the 3 year old had up until now?

Why are they introducing new childcare on the brink of a divorce?
