[quote=Anonymous]Gathering wisdom,

I have been with the same family for 3 years. There are things I enjoy about them, but increasingly, the job has become too unpredictable. The amount of coverage they need is growing as the kids get older, and I am always asked to do last-minute things. I can say no, and often do, and am paid for any extra time, but I am just not at all interested in working in this constantly shifting dynamic. I plan to roll off at the end of the school year, before summer hits.

I want to tell the mom now. I want to give her a huge running head start, and honestly, if she finds a better fit between now and June and intends to onboard someone earlier, that would be fine by me. Otherwise, I am OK sticking around until June.

Is 5 months' notice too much? As a parent myself, I think it would be helpful, but then again, I do not know if it would actually muddy the waters or be uncomfortable to have an employee around months after you know they want to leave.
