talk to her soon in a compassionate and caring way, give her plenty of time to look for a new job, when we know better we do better!!!

You don't need to make a big deal about it.

This same exact thing happened to me before + my bosses gave me plenty of time.

They offered to give me a good/solid reference and wished me luck finding a new position.

The sooner I found out, the better it was for me in finding a new family to work for.

I appreciated having plenty of notice and stayed through my last day. If you have a good relationship with her just let her know ASAP, and yes, at the end of a day so she can go home after.

Of course she's going home,stupid...

...let her know at the end of the day so she can go home [immediately] after [you give her the news that her position is ending, rather than at the beginning of the day].

Was that clarification really required? Just this once would you tell me who you are? A/S/L? You are such a gem.

OP, I'm glad it all worked out! I'm sure you'll continue to have a good relationship with her as well as a frequent babysitter.
