are you sure you really want to leave nannying? i used to not have a life because I worked 60-70 hours/week and was an on-call nanny. I always had to be ready to leave where ever I was at to go to work. I also did live-in positions in the past too.I got to a point where I was SO burnt out and considered leaving nannying forever. It was hard at the time to judge whether I was burn't out/ wasn't a good fit with my nanny family or just wanted to stop nannying. I love my new job now and the enthusiasm for nannying came back. I work about 37 hours/week and both nanny families are absolutely amazing. I love my charges immensely too! I am a big believer in not working more than 40 hours/week. When I was working 60-70/week I was missing time with my boyfriend and friends. In addition to this, I was more irritable toward them. You have to find a balance... [/quote]

I'm in a similar boat with the OP. I am burnt out and do want to go back to grad school. To the pp i quoted, I am experiencing all you have described. I get irritable with family because they always want do things with me but I just want to sleep in or have too many personal errands to run. It hasn't helped with my dating. Balance is key. I have a few more months before I leave for school. Keeping positive till then. But I will not do such a long schedule any more.

To OP you may want to be careful about mentioning being burnt out. Especially if you may need them for a reference should you decide to come back. Some pp have great examples of how to bring up the discussion. Best of luck with you future endeavors!![/quote]
