[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have quite then you're not being fired.  THey are choosing not to have you work out your notice period.

As a mom I can envision doing this if any of the following were true:
- I wasn't all that happy with your performance in the job and you giving notice was a relief
- I quickly found a solution and was eager to move on
- the interpersonal dynamics between the adults involved were strained or difficult
- I have concerns about the interactions you might have with the kids about your departure

It may not at all be that "they can't handle it" but more that they would rather not work through some extended difficult period.  If they can figure out a solution then why not just move on.[/quote]

+1.  For the pp who asked about practical advice, this is it.  Do a stellar job, have a good professional relationship with the parents, don't do anything weird and creepy with the kids, and basically be the kind of employee that your boss is sad to see go and genuinely wishes well, and this will not be a problem.

In my experience, this is only true in situations where the parting is mutual. If an employer is sad to see their employee go, and wishes them well, wouldn't they also have done their best to treat them well? When nannies give notice, more often than not it is because they aren't treated well. It is those same employers that behave like children when they are given notice. So your advice doesn't hold. Sometimes you can do everything right, but your employer is still an ass. [/quote]
