[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would offer to help in any way you can. I would offer to babysit in the evenings so they can interview. You can supply them with info about backup care through agencies (not just the numbers but actual cost and other details that pertain), look for candidates on Care or other sites if they don’t use an agency, offer to sit in on interviews, help train new nanny, etc. Do as much as you can to soften the blow, but ultimately you must do what is best for yourself. [/quote] Offer to babysit for free? Ridiculous. Give teo week s notice. She owes them zilch. [/quote] I didn’t say for free. And actually, she owes them the same respect she would expect, which at the very least is to honor your contract. Do you treat everyone this way? Am I super lucky to consistently have mutually respectful employment relationships? Grow up! [/quote] Yes, I agree with respect and honoring contracts but I also think OP needs to look out for herself too. Nobody, not the NF or anyone, is doing it except for her. If she has a better opportunity she needs to go for it but try to give as much notice as possible. On the other hand, it IS risky because you hear of many nannies being fired on the spot after giving appropriate time. Again, OP needs to do what she needs to for herself. [/quote]
