I started looking and found another lead that may be perfect! If I choose to quit family B... How? I have never quit a job before! Do I offer to help her find a nanny? I am such a push over and if she asks me to stay in not sure what to say.
Do I say, I am not happy!? Probably not.. Adcice
"MB, I really appreciate the opportunity to work with you, but I just don't feel this is working. I've found another position that's a better fit, and I will be starting on X date. I am happy to help train my replacement if that would be useful at all."
And be prepared to be fired on the spot.

OP, in your next contract don't include a notice period long than 3-4 weeks. 8 weeks is nearly impossible to make work.

Yes, you need to honor this unless you want to risk both a bad reference and a lawsuit.
The nanny forum stupidity hits a new low.
This family will fire you either immediately or as soon as they can replace you. The eight weeks notice is only for naive nannys who don't know better.
