[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's tough, but keep looking.

A few years ago I quit the nanny job I liked after 2.5 years. Although I liked the job, I was burnt out. 
I still needed a full time job, but with less hours.

I started working as a "before school" nanny (it was around April), but mom was laid off (she was a nurse) and I had to start looking after a month.

I found a summer job - the family moved to my city from across the country, because dad got a summer contract. So that lasted 2 months.

Then I found another family around Labor Day and I liked them, but 2 weeks before Thanksgiving the mom decided to quit her job and stay with the kids. She gave me a few weeks notice even she was already done with her job. I helped her with errands and other things. My last week was in December.

The second week of December my old nanny family (the job I quit) needed a nanny for a week as their current nanny was on vacation and they were looking for someone to fill in. We stayed in touch after I quit  and it was good to see them again. But it was only for a week.

Christmas wasn't merry and bright, because I was worried about finding another job.

I had an interview right after New Year and I started working a week later. I'm still with them since then - it's been 1.5 year.
It's one of my favorite jobs (I was with one family for 8 years and that was my other favorite job) and I'm going to stick around for as long as they need me.
The kids are older - 10 and 12.

It was worth to wait for the right family, although definitely tough and sometimes scary.

Please don't give up. Something will come up. Keep looking.
Good luck!!

Working with older kids is pretty much the jackpot, it's almost no work at all, just some driving and playing mom. The parents are generally clueless.[/quote]
