Two months’ notice is totally fair.

We just gave our live in 2 months notice- our kids are older and not going to school and we are home so we just don't need her. I'm sure she will find someone new soon.

Why do you want to fire the live-in nanny?

16.27 again.

I try to be out in 24 hours too, but it’s not always possible. And I never fly.

When I travel to a family, I bring my own pillows and linens, along with my clothes. That amounts to one suitcase and two military duffels. Then I have a couple bags of books, a bag of cleaning supplies and a jug of detergent (I’m allergic to dyes and perfumes, so I make sure I have something to use while the family uses up what they have on hand), toiletries, hangers, etc. Then I have the tools of my trade (nanny and homeschool educator): several bags of books, a bag of coloring books and activity books, a couple bags of various workbooks geared to the current and next ages in the family, manipulatives for math, fine motor control and phonics, flash cards for various ela and math topics, science experiment books and tools, clipboards, magnetic white boards, letter and number magnets, and dry erase crayons, colored pencils and markers. If I take the train, the bags are condensed into boxes, but I really prefer to drive.

I leave immediately. Pack my bags and typically fly out the next day. But I have a place to go home to. ( my parents house )

A live-in nanny should get at a 30 notice in order to secure alternative living arrangements. This is basic decency, people.

I would hope 30 days if not fired for a serious cause.

It depends on location, circumstances (quit vs fired vs terminated because the job is ending), and what the contract says. My contract states that I am guaranteed 2 days to pack and get my things out, measured from the end of my last shift. Notice is a separate clause, with notice period of anywhere between 2 weeks and 3 months (family’s choice), but the remainder would be paid out as severance if they want me out sooner than the end of the notice period.

Some locations state that a live-in domestic worker had at least one month, because they are equated with a renter who must be given a 30 day eviction notice.

Depends on what was agreed upon in the contract at the start of employment.
