[quote=Anonymous]So, I'm quitting my current nanny job. I've only been with them for one month, and it's just not a good fit. I'm 100% sure of this decision. I haven't given my NF notice yet, because I haven't found a new position yet. I live in a rural area so it's a bit difficult to find a job, and I don't have any leads yet. I'm working on it though. I do plan to give them 3 weeks notice because I know that they'd be in a huge bind if I gave little to no notice. Nannies are hard to come by in my area and I don't want them to have to rush and bend over backward looking for care. They aren't terrible people, we just aren't a good fit together.

However, MB just texted me asking if I could do an overnight with the kids in late August while she and DB go on a trip. It would be three days and two nights. I fully intend on having a new job by then, which obviously she doesn't know, so I don't want to commit to doing this overnight for her and then leave her in a bind later when I quit and she has no one to work the overnight. I also don't want to drop the bomb now that I won't be with them at that time, for obvious reasons. I don't feel comfortable giving notice if I don't have something else set up already.

How should I handle this??? Tell her I'll check my schedule and get back to her? Not sure how long I can keep that up, as it may be weeks before I find a new position and give my notice.  At the interview, I told her I was fine with occasional overnights so I can't use "I don't do overnights" as an excuse. [/quote]
