[quote=Anonymous]Well, are you leaving to work for one family?  If so you could just say that you love their children but you've decided that you'd like to be able to work for just one family and think it will probably be a better fit for you at this stage in your career.

I think your planned notice is very appropriate and considerate.  And if you want to stay in touch or be available to them as a sitter that says a lot about the way you're approaching this.

It's always fair to see "It isn't anything you did, a shared position just isn't the best fit for me right now but I hope we can stay in touch."

You can also offer to help them out in any way possible for the next three weeks (if they need some time without you but with the kids to interview new nannies for instance, or if you could help by documenting for your replacement what the daily schedule is, tips re the kids' likes/dislikes, things that help manage the day, etc...)

Good luck.  It sounds like you're handling this very professionally.  I hope they respond in kind.[/quote]
