[quote=Anonymous]I personally wouldn't tell the family the real reason why you're leaving. I imagine they might take it personally (hear "I don't like your older kids" as opposed to "I work better with younger kids") But I totally get it OP. I work pretty exclusively with ages 0-2. Once they get close to 3 I find kids incredibly annoying, and I doesn't ease up until they hit 9 or 10. So - I look for families with babies. My current family has a 23mo and another one on the way - luckily their toddler is awesome right now and by the time she turns 3 I'll be back at school to finish my degree. As for your questions, I either wouldn't mention it (if you start work with a baby, by the time they're older you may be so bonded with them that they aren't annoying anyways) or else tell families that you are looking for a position where when the child starts preschool and the families needs change, you can move on to a new position.
