[quote=Anonymous]Nanny here. I've been in your place. I would give 2-4 weeks max.

I left a position recently because I found a position that suited me better. I gave 3 weeks and they fired me the next day. I think because this is such a personal job, many feel it's a personal rejection, just liked some of us nannies do. Some parents are understanding and some are less understanding. It's hard to tell so the best advice is to protect yourself.

I think it depends on the morals of some. I had an opposite situation where my employers gave me 7 weeks notice when they accepted a job in another state. Some people would of left as soon as they got a new job. I loved this position and kept to my commitment to stay until the end. I was given a two week bonus, an expensive gift, and one hell of a reference letter. I am still close to this family after almost a year of my position ending.

It's wonderful that you want to give that time. You seem like a very considerate person. Unfortunately you do not know how they will react. Only give what you would be willing to lose in pay. [/quote]
