[quote=Anonymous]I have been a nanny for about two years. I have worked with the same family for over a year. I'm graduating college in May 2015, and I just recently interviewed for a great position in my field. The company offered me the job right away, and I start full time as soon as I graduate. The best part was that they offered to bring me on part time for training starting in December so that I can dive right into the position full time upon graduation.

I am so excited about the opportunity, but I can't help but be extremely nervous about having to tell my current NF. My MB is so sweet, and she knows that being a nanny isn't my long term career goal. She also knows that I am graduating in May, and has often said things like, "We will miss you so much in May. I don't know what we'll do without you!" I always joked around that I probably wouldn't find a job in my field by then, but that I will miss them too. Now I'm looking at leaving after Thanksgiving, so it's quite a bit sooner than we were both expecting.

I want to give my NF as much time as possible to find my replacement, but I'm just not sure how to approach the subject of my leaving. I feel a bit better that I'm leaving for my actual career instead of just leaving for a different NF, but I still have never had to quit a job in the past as my last family let me go when they moved to the west coast.

What has been your experience with quitting your nanny position? Was the family mad? I can't see my MB letting me go earlier than my last available day or being mad, but a lot of people say that and end up really making their MBs mad. At the end of the day, I won't really need her as a reference since I'm not going to be working in the field anymore, but I would like to stay in contact and maybe even babysit for my charge for date nights or something because I do love him a lot![/quote]
