[quote=Anonymous]Well, if you're starting another job right on the heels of this one then I'd say something like:

"Dear Jane, I know you had asked me to stay into June, but I need some time in between ending here and starting my next job.  I'm not going to be able to continue working past next Friday, June 5.  I might be able to do a handful of limited hours for a few days past that, if it would be helpful, but next week will have to be my last full=time week."

If she's horrible about just hold your ground, graciously and professionally, but just reiterate that you have given them a month's notice and accepted another position and simply can't work after next week.  Don't lose your cool and don't lie.  That way you can at least tell the truth to any other families if they question you, and you can know that you behaved professionally.

It is entirely likely that if your employer is really awful w/ you then she's awful with others also.  And if other families have had good experiences with you, they may be very able to put your current employer's attitude in an appropriate context.

Focus on getting out quickly and calmly, taking some time to clear your head before your next job starts, and then moving on with your life.

Good luck!
