No specific advice on what to say but two thoughts:

1) you need a specific reason you are leaving. Ideally something vague enough they can't argue with it, nonoffensive, and nothing with enough of a lie that you can get caught out. If the child is going to preschool, for example, you'd prefer to work with an infant

2) is there any way to line up a new job before you quit? It protects you. Plus, any new employer worth working for should respect the fact you are giving your old family notice. Do /not/ give a different reason to the new family as to why you are changing jobs. There's nothing to be gained and everything to lose by complaining (even validly) about your old employer.[/quote]

Excellent advice.  Please do try to line up another job - it makes leaving so much easier when you have a time frame and a reason (the new job is closer to your home, it is working with a newborn, etc.)

3) Take the time now to get your pertussis booster and get your infant CPR and first aid certificates from the Red Cross.  Get your personal references in line and your resume updated.  [/quote]
