[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course verbally.  And give them as much time as you can - a month if possible.  Two weeks is pretty standard however.

Be kind - do not bring up any past issues as there is no point now - and just tell them the truth that you want to explore other options with your degree.  [/quote]

Two weeks is more than sufficient and ALL that is necessary.  No need to hide the job creep w/o extra pay as it might teach them something about how NOT to treat their new nanny.  Chances are good they will let you go on the spot.  Good luck and may you find a job. With a future.9[/quote]

Terrible advice.  Why bring up why you are leaving when you are leaving?  No one is going to "learn a lesson" from an exiting employee.  You will just make the leaving harder.

It's like breaking up with someone - a variation on the "it's not you, it's me" is always best.  I doubt they will let you go on the spot!!  Give them three weeks - anymore and they may let you go early because they found a replacement.

I have no clue what "With a future 9" means.

Good luck, OP.  Hope you find what you are looking for and remember that if you want to come back to being a nanny, or for any other job, you will want this family's reference.  Never burn bridges.  
And take a special moment to explain to your charges that you love them and are going to miss them.    [/quote]
