[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.
Thanks for everyone’s advice and I’m sorry for not replying sooner.
I’m not going to lie or quit right away. I need to keep this job until I find another which may take a while as all the jobs fill up when the new school year starts. I have a couple of interviews so fingers crossed. I just need to get out of here. I will have to give 2 weeks notice per our contract so that will suck.
Chances are I may get a job in the same small town where they live so I may run into the kids or parents. So I need to be mostly honest with them or a white lie that doesn’t hurt anyone or can get me in trouble.
I think I will have to be mostly honest and say I am bored and need a job with more responsibilities and quality time to spend with the kids.
Is it wrong to give 2 weeks notice in an email? I will want to tell them as soon as I accept an offer so the 2 weeks can start immediately. Also I never see the mom and she’s the one who hired me and negotiated the contract with me.
Thanks again.[/quote]

Do not lie! That's horrible advice. Don't even give the excuse that you're bored. "It isn't a good match" is all you need to say. 
I think emailing to give notice is fine, because then you'll have it in writing. [/quote]
