Full time job vs weekend job.

[Anonymous]

I took a weekend nanny job a couple months ago. I love the family and kids! I've decided to take a full time job in the fall though and would no longer be able to work Fridays for them. (We agreed I'd work Friday-Sunday originally) Any suggestion on how to approach the situation? First couple months with my full time job I wouldn't mind working weekends but I know in long term I couldn't work 7 days a week.

Im not sure When I should approach them about this. I wouldn't leave till end of September.


Thank you!!!

Make sure your full time position is working out. Just cram it out for the month of September and tell your weekend family when you know your full time is a good match. Then give them a few weeks. So you'll be working 7 days a week for seven or eight weeks - no biggie - think money for the holidays!

I would let them know ASAP.

Reason being is so they are allowed enough time to find a Friday person to watch the kids.

However, you may lose the weekend position entirely if they can only find prospective candidates who want a whole weekend job.

Be prepared for this to happen.

Are you suggesting she just says she can't work Fridays for first two months?

If she tells them right now she could lose her job 2 month early! Never give two months notice in the nanny world!
