If you like your charges, try to stick it out until something changes and just try to keep contact with parents minimal.
You may be the 1 voice of love and respect that those children have. The longer you are with them, the more you can impart your good morals to them.
But if you interact with the parents so much that they are just ruining your happiness- then I guess you have to go, for your own well-being.

This is true. Start considering other nanny jobs.

Take your time, but quietly begin looking for a position that pays similiar but where the employers are more pleasant to work for. This sounds like it is eating at you, but don't shoot yourself in the foot by jumping at the first open position.

I would keep on working for people like them if I really liked my charges and that the parents weren't working from home during the day. And of course if the money was good

I'd definitely be interviewing for other options.

I'm not a nanny but I would find that pretty intolerable.
I left a job once where I had serious ethical and moral differences with my boss and I couldn't feel good about supporting her beliefs in any way.
It's hard to put ones livelihood on the line for morals, of course, but it's also hard to be in that kind of environment all day long.

Could you continue in a position you otherwise enjoy?
I love my charges (1&3). I’m paid a decent wage with decent benefits. I have a good amount of autonomy throughout the day. Overall it’s a good position. I, however, really dislike my employers. They are just unkind and hateful people. They both are generally mean-spirited. Speaking negatively about other (their friends often, making fun of people, commenting on physical characteristics they don’t like “what a fatass”, “God, look at that nose”.). It seems like 70% of their conversations together consists of trading other people down or something negative. They are both what I call ‘low key racists’, where they don’t openly make slurs but will stereotype to no end. The Dad is SO rude and arrogant, not usually to me, but to most low wage workers. It’s so embarrassing to be around him. The mom is a mean girl. I even see her encourage this type of behavior to G3. I can only imagine what she says about me when I leave.
Thankfully the children haven’t picked up these behaviors or attitudes. Although realistically I know they probably will. It’s sad. I’ve considered leaving just because I think the parents are horrible human beings. I’ve worked for many people I don’t click with, but never anyone I really thought was just totally unredeemingly unlikeable.
