[quote=Anonymous]I've been with my current NF for a little over a year now and am for the most part, I am happy with my job. When I took this job, I was told that they would want me to stay on until the twins were ready for preschool (so about 3 years) and I was more then happy to make that commitment. Well about 2 months ago, DB was talking to me and made it very clear that they are struggling to afford me and that when they tell friends what they are paying me, they are "astonished" and how I'm more then daycare, etc. etc. etc. I make $17.00/hr for 3 kids (1 year old twins and a 3 1/2 year old). I know that realistically, I should be making more money with my experiences and the amount of work but in the state/area I am in, I am paid on the very high end. After this conversation with DB, I was very worried about my job security and started freshening up my resume and sending it out to some agencies that I have worked with in the past. Nothing is "set" but I am about 80% sure that I am going to start interviewing for a new job. My "dilemma" is that I think MB MIGHT know. Over the last 2 weeks, she will make comments/jokes about me quitting or "losing me". For example, I texted MB last Saturday because I was running errands near their house and asked about coming by to say hi. I didn't end up going because she texted me back too late but on Monday, she made a comment about how she thought I was coming over to quit and how they "can't lose me". This has happened a couple of times this week and last week and I don't know if it's just a coincidence or if they somehow know. I'm ONLY working with agencies so it's not like I have online nanny ads that they could have seen. I didn't plan on telling them I was going to move on until I 1) found a new job and 2) really know for sure. Also, once I do find a new position, I have made it very clear to the agencies that I want to be able to give my current family AT LEAST 3 weeks notice because I respect them. I guess I'm just wondering if I should say anything to MB beforehand about all of this or just wait it out. I know it's most likely just a coincidence that she's making these comments lately but it still is really weird timing![/quote]
