[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can give two weeks notice, but then you will not be able to use your current family as a reference in the future. If you've been with them more than 6 months, you're going to have to explain to any potential future nanny families why you have a 6+ month gap in your employment history (or why things ended on a bad note and thus they are not a good reference for you). I don't recommend going that route personally, as a nanny myself, but it's up to you. [/quote]

The only thing they can say is that she only gave two weeks notice.  If they lie and give bad reference for child care, they are in trouble.[/quote]

They can say she broke the contract. The contract says 30 days notice, she is giving 14 days. She broke the contract end of story. [/quote]

Right, but OP can't wait the extra 2 weeks for the job.

[b]OP, do you know of another nanny who you can refer to your job?

Congrats on your new job, btw.[/quote]

Yes, if you are leaving on a fairly good note and want to preserve the reference, if you can find a replacement for the last two weeks, it would probably go a long way toward smoothing any ruffled feathers.

Just imagine if they had given you two weeks' notice instead of the four in your contract. You'd be more pissed about being let go than you would have been otherwise. If they gave you two weeks notice, but also gave you two weeks' severance, that would probably change your feelings about it a lot. You'd still be unhappy to be let go, but wouldn't feel like you'd been treated unfairly by someone breaking the contract.[/quote]
