[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op I was in the exact same position as you when I was a live-in. I had been with the family for 6 months and I wanted out. We had agreed upon a year but as you said nannies are at will employees. When I was ready to give them notice I was terrified to tell them. I seriously just stood outside their bedroom door for almost an hour trying to get the courage to knock on their door. When I finally went in I just told them I was no longer happy in the position and that I was given a month notice. To say the least they were furious, the dad basically cussed me out and then tried to get me to stay for 2 months instead of 1. When I finally left their room I was in tears at the idea of staying the whole month of my notice. Then the next morning the dad knocked on my door at the crack of dawn and asked me if I had changed my mind I said I hadn't. He went on to say that I had 2 hours to pack my things and get out.

My advice to you OP is to be ready to leave when you give your notice and then NEVER do a live-in position again. I've been doing live-out positions since my live-in and I could be happier. [/quote]

Let it be known that they CANNOT force you out of the house right then. They have to evict you. If they try to force you out, you can call the police. The police will tell them that they cannot do that. They have to give you 2 weeks if you are on a month to month deal. If you have no written deal, it is month to month. Even if they try and say you were just living there and not paying rent, living there rent free (even if not working for the family) means they have to take the legal route to get you to leave if you don't leave willingly.

So no, they cannot force you out in 2 hours like they did to PP above. She should have shut her door, said she would be out in 2 weeks and called the cops.[/quote]
