You should have looked into this before agreeing to relocate.
It sucks to quit but give them plenty of notice and hopefully they can find someone else.

What's wrong with living in with them for now?
I mean until you can save up and get a place closer to work ...

I mean, it allows you to save money by having no rent ...

Thank you all

I totally agree with this.

Since you never agreed to be a live-in, then you have every right to decline that offer.
Because being a live-in Nanny is just not for everyone.

Just tell both the family as well as the agency that you could not find a suitable apartment nearby for the amount of rent that you are able to afford so that unfortunately you will be unable to stay w/this position.

Also, since you are on a trial period you can also just tell the agency it wasn’t a good match.

Wishing you all the best OP!

You either live in or find an apartment or house with some roomates.

You don’t have to stay if you’re not comfortable regardless what they both will think

I am a nanny and I took a new position a month ago out of state. The family offer me 2 months of housing in their home the time to find an apartment. I came for a trial and found some apartment on my budget and now I couldn’t find nothing but I have one month left. However, all the apartments that I found are twice my budget and the ones I found are almost 2h driving which I can’t do for a start time at 7am. They offer me to be a live in which I’m not comfortable for my age and the area is far from the city. I won’t have no life and they also have some comments that I know it won’t work for me. Now I want to quit I know they will be upset and the agency as well.
Any suggestions please?
