How to tell them

You can tweet the truth by saying you want to work with babies or work closer to your house for work a different schedule— but that is has nothing to do with your love for their kids!

Parents really want to hear that their children matter. You can also offer to help the kids transition to the new nanny.

If they cared that much then one of them would stay home with them. OP, keep it simple. " It has been a pleasure to care for your children but my needs have changed and this is to give you my notice that I will be leaving on (,whatever your contract says). However, be prepared for them to let you go on the spot. It's called cutting off nose to spite your face. Good luck to you. Also, make no promises about future babysitting, etc.
