[quote=Anonymous]MB here.  My advice:

- give your notice when you have your plan fully in place, whether it's grad school or a corporate job or whatever.  You don't want to find yourself without income or employment.  It's great that you have some savings but you don't want to plan on burning through that unless absolutely necessary.
- honor whatever minimum commitment you made (re giving notice) when you took the job.  If you can offer them more than the minimum notice period that's a nice thing.  30 days sounds pretty generous - I certainly wouldn't expect more.
- Be honest and straightforward with the family - you're burned out with nannying and want to do something different with your life.  It isn't about them or their kids, and it isn't something they can fix with a pay raise or other accommodations, you simply want to change course.  They may be upset, but once they deal with the disruption it means for them they'll get over it.

That's really it - no need to overthink it.  I just wouldn't act on it until you know what your next step would be.  (That has nothing to do with nannying - just the realities of life - it is always better/easier to find work when you're currently working.)

Good luck.[/quote]
