[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an MB.  If you were interviewing w/ me I'd want you to explain honestly why you were looking to leave, and share the letter of recommendation.  Tell your prospective employer that while you really like your current family you're unable to work around their very unpredictable schedule and the mother may be leaving her job soon.  You want to secure another job but also want to take your time to find the right fit so in the meantime you're not telling your current employers that you're looking.  You might find something terrific right away, or it could take a couple of months to find that best match and that's why you're not giving them notice yet.

When you do find the right position you'll give your current employers plenty of notice and do everything you can to help them with the transition.  In the meantime though you can't offer them as a reference.

As a potential employer I would totally understand that explanation and respect it.  Hopefully you have several other references they can speak with?

Good luck!  Be sure that everything you say about your current family is professional and appropriate - your prospective employers will make a lot of judgments about you (hopefully positive ones) about how you discuss your current employers.[/quote]
You are either naive or selfish (or both) with that "advice". How do you suggest the nanny protect herself should her current mb have a toddler temper tantrum about the nanny wanting to leave?

No one in their right mind discusses leaving until they have a contract for their new job. It's sad how dumb you want nannies to be.[/quote]
