[quote=Anonymous]I get that 6 weeks is a crazy long time, but there are plenty of situations (moving, having a baby, big life change like getting married or finishing school) in which people know they're going to leave a job well in advance. As an MB, we once had a nanny quit on one weeks notice and it took us a LONG time to find someone new (I think around 2 months). It was really stressful. More recently we got 2 weeks notice (we'd asked for 4 weeks, but something came up and 2 weeks was the most she could do) and we did find someone, but it isn't so easy to find a new nanny or alternate childcare. I doubt they're planning to sue you over breaking the contract if you give less than 6 weeks, but maybe there's a middle ground like 2-4 weeks you could suggest? While assuring them that you'd give as much notice as possible? Our contract says that if we give less than 4 weeks notice we'd pay severance.[/quote]
