[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also understand the points you are making PPs but you realize this then suggests MBs should try to avoid giving extensive notice since otherwise they will be left without care. If they give you the courtesy of ample time, you owe it to them to do your best to line up with the ending time including trying to negotiate with the new family or split the difference with the new one.[/quote]

I would do my best, but if offered a good job with a slightly earlier start than is convenient for you, I'd hope that my MB is respectful enough of me and my needs that she wouldn't ask me to turn it down (and risk unemployment after her job ends) unless she was prepared to significantly soften that blow. When I give notice to a family I usually go with 3-4 weeks and recognize that they may find someone earlier than I'd like. I'm the one "letting them go" and it'd be awfully selfish to expect them to risk losing a nanny they'd love because its not perfect timing for me. That's just a recognized risk of giving notice, but giving ample notice is the right thing to do. If doing the right thing doesn't matter to you, the I guess that means don't give much notice if you can't stomach thinking about someone else before yourself. [/quote]
