I am glad it all worked out as well.

Good luck OP!

Sounds great...you might want to put a sunset date on that in case it gets tiring, but I'm so happy it worked out for you!

Op here. I worked it out where I can work two days next week, and work my day off ( new job is M - TH) until they find a replacement. The mom was sad but said she understands. I am glad it worked out.

Absolutely.

I am in a dilemma. I have been working PT ( 12 hours a week) for a SAHM for about 2 months. My intentions were to find a FT position but fell in love with my current family, and decided to looking for PT. That hasn't been working. I have been on vacation for the past week, and took a babysitting job, which lead to an unexpected job offer. It's a good offer, but they need me to start next week, so I can't give any notice. My boss once said that was fine, but I still feel badly about it. I haven't had much luck with jobs lately, and feel I need to jump on it.

Job specifics

- A little further away than currently family, but not a bad commute.
- Work 32 hours but get paid for 40 hour until she goes back FT in February.
-Standard benefits.
- Baby a little more fussier and harder to work with.

Would you forego giving notice to take this job?
