[quote=Anonymous]I have been with my nanny family for just over a year. I care for their 2yo daughter and found out a few weeks ago that #2 is due in late July! The 2yo will be starting preschool in September, and unfortunately... I am going back to school in September too.

I realize at this point this is over 8 months away, and we haven't had any discussions yet about how their needs/my role will change with the new baby, parental leave, and preschool starting (I am not sure but assume they are looking at a program that does 5 half-days). But much like me, my bosses are planners and are already getting in to gear to get ready for the baby. I am sure they have started discussing all this, just haven't approached me yet.

I would like to give them as much notice as possible that I will be leaving in September, and let them know that I am amenable to the idea of staying on part-time or still babysitting occasionally if both schedules allow for it. I have no concerns that they will fire me when they find out I'm leaving, or that the relationship will sour. They knew I would be going back to school at some point, and specifically requested that when this happened I give them as much notice as possible, so that is what I'm trying to do.

So my question is - how much notice? I would like to approach them before they approach me about their needs changing. 8 months notice seems ridiculous since a lot can change in that time, but I can't imagine me leaving before that. What do you guys think?[/quote]
