[quote=Anonymous]Hello! I am new to this forum and thought I might ask for some opinions/help!

I moved to DC 2 years ago and have been with this amazing family for the same amount of time. Actually today is our 2 years all together going into our 3rd. :) Which makes me happy!

Anyways, I am a live-in. Full Time. Mornings/ Afternoons. Pick up. Laundry, grocery shopping/ etc. We go on family vacations. My family comes and stays with us, it's a very comfortable and lovely environment. 
I LOVE my little kiddos, but I have a dilemma. 
I am going into my last year of college (which is why I moved to DC) and unfortunately the classes I have to take are for the next semester going to be at night :( 
Im upset by this because it's during the times I would need to be with the kids.

I also have a GREAT relationship with the mom. I love the whole family as if they were my own. The kids are like my little brother and sister. We get along SO well.

But I need to notify my employer and I don't know how to go about it...
Is it too much to ask if I continue to work for them for the remainder of the year but my employer can get a "afternoon nanny". 
Im so protective of these kids, and love them so much that I can't stand the idea of them being cared for by someone else when I'm in the same area...
The kids love me as well. The youngest one cannot be away from me for a long time as well as the eldest. We get along so well. I don't think I've ever seen a nanny-family relationship such as ours.

SO, anyways. Can anyone help me find a way to discuss this? Would it be reasonable to ask if they can lower my pay and I continue to do mornings/overnights if needed...
And someone just does afternoons ?

Or is that too much to ask?

THANKS. 
And technically in our contract I have to notify 20 days prior to leaving...but I would hate for them to have no care if I leave it till August...

Thank you. [/quote]
