I've been with my nanny family for 8 years and even still, I won't give more than a months notice. You never know how things can go South once you decide to leave.

Do NOT talk to your nanny family UNTIL you have ACCEPTED (not just been offered) a full time position with the company.

Learn from your employers.
Do what's best for you.
Isn't that what they do 99.9% of the time?

Don't say anything until you know you are being given a FT position. Period. Don't do it.
If you get offered that position, how quickly will you need to start? I find most companies actually respect it when you say you are contractually obligated to give four weeks of notice although obviously some situations won't allow for that.

I have been working a part time nanny job for barely two months, while working for a company part time as well. I recently found out the company I work for might increase my hours to full time within the next few months - this is literally my dream position; I work from home, would get full benefits, possible traveling and promotions, etc. I have a college degree and wasn't planning on being a nanny forever but thought I could at least make a year long commitment to this family since the company job was very part time. I originally thought of giving notice to the family, since the company pays enough for me to survive on until I most likely get more hours, but that just feels so mean. I am thinking of talking to the parents and being truthful about my situation and that I might be moving on to a job in my field within the next few months, and letting them make the decision about whether they want to search for a new nanny now or keep me on longer. I would offer to train a new nanny and babysit for the family and so on. I completely realize that it's not cool for me to quit a nanny job so early on and feel so guilty, but I am so happy at the company I work for and it's a great opportunity for me, and I would be giving the family ample time to find someone new while offering to help find a new nanny. Thoughts?
