[quote=Anonymous]Nanny here. I have been employed by a family since August, and several problems have arised since then. I misewell just list them off

-when first hired, the agreement was that I would be able to take the children on outings. I've asked several times about car seats, and it still hasn't happened. We have been stuck in the house all winter. 
-The children love doing crafts, however the parents refuse to pay me for art supplies or give me a stipend. I'm talking, 10 bucks worth of finger paint and googly eyes every once in awhile. Ridiculous!
-they tried to 1099 me. I am NOT self employed, thank you!
-The father goes out of town 2 days a week every week. During this time, the mom lets them do ANYTHING. I come in at 7am and they're eating Oreos. She came home for her lunch break today, and while I was making them lunch, she gave them 2 slices of buttered bread each (2 and 4), and said NOTHING when the 4yr old stuck her finger in the tub of butter, scooped some out, licked her finger, and put it back in the butter. I mean really?
-when the father is here, he's grumpy and has a temper. He will yell at the kids for not receiving all their stars, spank, etc. I do not appreciate that, and I do not want to see that!

So basically I am on the search for a new job, and would like some advice. My contract states I must give 30 days notice to terminate. My plan is to line up a new job, then give my notice. Any advice for the best way to give my notice? These people literally adore me, so I'd like to get a reference out of them if possible. Should I give them written notice when I tell them in person as well?

Also, any suggestions for things to negotiate into my next contract? I want it to be super thorough! Any job switching advice would be greatly appreciated. [/quote]
