Best way to fire a nanny family?

[Anonymous]

I've had it with my mb. She's not respecting my time or me. She's always late. She continues to go to happy hour every Friday even though I say NO. She doesn't tell me when her children are sick. She's so clueless about everything and I have had enough. I already have a weekend nanny job. What's the best way to get out of this arrangement? Should I tell a white lie?

You don’t have to lie. Just give notice that it’s not working out and you aren’t a good fit.

I wish I would be employed by someone that thinks it’s ok to be sitting in a bar getting drunk or picked up when it’s my stop time and their kids are waiting. I’d call the police and have them waiting. She’d know you’re quitting for sure then

You mean you want to quit, right? So you give notice, professionally and in line w/ the terms of your contract.

That's it.

For one, you are quitting, not firing her. For two, you need to tell the truth tactfully or just give no explanations. DO NOT LIE!

Give no more notice than time you can afford to lose as many MBs will let you gonna the spot. Make sure you get all money due you. Good luck.

+1 Don't be a child, OP. Just say that circumstances have changed and give notice (whatever your contract says in terms of time).

I claimed to be leaving a job for “more family-friendly hours.”

Exactly. Call her tomorrow and say a relative is deathly ill and you must immediately help them.

Get your paycheck for the week and then give notice. If she fires you on the spot, you are paid up.

If you can’t figure this out you shouldn’t be taking care of kids

*Very Important*!!-
Make sure to CASH your check first.

Then once you have what is owed you, you can let them know you will be seeking out greener pastures.

This family doesn’t deserve any notice.
They are taking you for granted.

Op here: Thanks. I sent an invoice today and mb seemed a little weird at pickup. There was 1 Friday after work she wanted me to babysit so she could go to happy hour. I said no and she asked if she could give me an extra $100 to do it. I agreed because at that point I was already going to be late for my Orangetheory class. I think she was surprised I actually put it on the invoice. She asked if she can pay once a month last month instead of biweekly. I agreed. It's now been 4 weeks and I haven't received my check. When should I say something again? Tomorrow or Sunday?
