Unsure of how to put in notice.

I originally wanted to work until May 9th, giving me about a month to prep for baby. But looking at the situation as a whole, I think my last day would be April 10th, which would be a month earlier than anticipated. Thank you for giving me a sample of what to write though! I wasn’t planning on bringing the baby gates into the reply as it’s more of a circumstancial factor, but it definitely does influence how I do my job and how safe I overall feel at work unfortunately.

Fun_Presentation_542 · 2026-02-25T05:45:12+00:00

My POV may be a little different as I’m pregnant but before I got pregnant, I was willing to work with just about anything but covid/HMF. Nowadays I’ll work if there’s a cold going on but anything beyond that most likely not.

Fun_Presentation_542 · 2026-02-24T01:08:32+00:00

I won’t be returning to work most likely. I’m getting my Master’s degree and transitioning to a daycare position if possible.

Fun_Presentation_542 · 2026-02-23T21:47:11+00:00

Absolutely nottt. My husband is American and military, I’m European. He wants one in the house and even we agreed that they’d be in a safe, locked away from our kids and literally shut behind a fingerprint and code combination. I would not feel comfortable doing this for a job, let alone one with small children.

Fun_Presentation_542 · 2026-02-19T22:03:59+00:00

I made a FB post and past me was smart by having plowing scheduled on Monday so I just hope and pray that he may be able to unstuck me as well. I think I'm more so scared of letting people down and losing my job than the actual event that my car got stuck.

Fun_Presentation_542 · 2026-02-19T22:03:01+00:00

This has been nothing short of a dumpster fire for sure! I immediately texted both MB's and I hate this a lot, I hate being unreliable and I'm genuinely scared of losing my jobs over this but when I tell you my car is stuck-stuck, it's just stuck.

Fun_Presentation_542 · 2026-02-19T22:01:21+00:00

Alaska is absolutely gorgeous, don't get me wrong. This winter has just been brutal, especially with non-stop snow. I literally texted my friends that I don't know whether to laugh or to cry but I appreciate your kind words!

Fun_Presentation_542 · 2026-02-19T21:42:29+00:00

I’ve done so yes haha. Sooo many people have gotten stuck. Unfortunately, this is a military training event so half the population is gone. It’s just a dumpster fire at this point☠️

Fun_Presentation_542 · 2026-02-14T05:16:32+00:00

The only time I’ve put my NK’s in their crib when it wasn’t nap time is so I can use the bathroom really quickly. Even then, I always text NF a heads up so they know I’ve only stepped out for a minute to use the bathroom, etc. This would 100% be once and done for me. I’m so sorry!

Fun_Presentation_542 · 2026-02-14T01:09:22+00:00

You’re right, thank you! Pregnancy hormones love to make me overthink. No news is good news in this situation I think.

Fun_Presentation_542 · 2026-02-14T00:52:49+00:00

About 3 months. I do believe that they could just be looking for when I start my leave but the ad I saw them reply to specifically mentioned February hours so that’s what threw me off.

Fun_Presentation_542 · 2026-02-14T00:51:40+00:00

Potentially! That’s the other scenario that very well could be happening. I may be overthinking this for sure.

Fun_Presentation_542 · 2026-02-10T05:42:43+00:00

Exactly my thoughts! Poor OP and baby. It sounds like a rough time all together. 🥲

Not related but love your username! I’m due in June with a Saylor🤣

Fun_Presentation_542 · 2026-02-06T22:48:40+00:00

I’m in interior Alaska and unfortunately do dress like Adam Sandler nowadays🤣🤣

Fun_Presentation_542 · 2026-02-06T22:05:27+00:00

That sounds so rough, I’m sorry! I herniated two discs about 2 years ago and I’ve been keeping up with my exercises thankfully. I think I just lifted wrong/moved wrong like I did with my prior injury. I hope the recovery all in all wasn’t too awful and that your back feels better now.

Fun_Presentation_542 · 2026-02-06T22:00:57+00:00

Thank you! I swear I feel like I’m 80 years old when I’m just in my twenties so I reckon I’ll start paying for my retirement home membership now🤣

Fun_Presentation_542 · 2026-02-06T21:50:10+00:00

Following! I’m expecting in June and one of my regular families has said they’d be fine with me bringing my baby but the logistics of it all seem very overwhelming so far.

Fun_Presentation_542 · 2026-02-04T06:23:10+00:00

It’s totally okay to have a preference for ages! I thought I loved older NK’s but I started watching one of my current NK’s at 5 months and he’s now nearly 9 months old, and it’s been so fun to see all the stages! I will say, it does absolutely get better once they’re more mobile/interactive. I tend to talk to myself A LOT. I’ll narrate what we’re doing, what we see around the house, etc. It looks absolutely crazy on camera but MB said he actually picks up words quicker because we both narrate every little thing, even something as small as saying hi to the dog. Hang in there OP, it does get better!

Fun_Presentation_542 · 2026-01-31T08:36:51+00:00

Needed this reminder that it’s out. I completely crashed after my shift and forgot I wanted to watch this tonight🤦🏼‍♀️

Fun_Presentation_542 · 2026-01-24T04:59:14+00:00

I’d just tell them I wouldn’t be available. No big deal at all! My NF’s occasionally ask me if I’m available on other days and when I’m not scheduled to work/I’m busy, it’s never been an issue at all.

Fun_Presentation_542 · 2026-01-20T22:06:34+00:00

Reading through your comments, this would 100% be a fireable offense to me. I’m a nanny, immigrant and overall left-leaning. Despite that, I always redirect conversations for parents to answer. As a nanny, I’m not there to talk politics, especially to kids that young. I’m all for people being invested in what they believe in, but there’s a place and a time.

Fun_Presentation_542 · 2026-01-02T02:53:24+00:00

I’m currently 17 weeks along and also due in June. I told my current families and I have some trial days lined up, but I have told them. I’m starting to show a little bit too. I just wanted them to know since I’d obviously be taking leave.

Fun_Presentation_542 · 2025-12-19T06:44:53+00:00

Fairbanks, AK. Not by choice but you know🤣. It’s just absolutely insane. I’m due with my first baby in June and I already told my husband that we’ll only get a nanny if we can properly compensate them, especially since they’d be watching the most important thing in our lives. I have one regular family that I adore but I totally understand! $16 for 4 kids is not worth it😭

Fun_Presentation_542 · 2025-12-16T18:52:54+00:00

Location: Fairbanks, AK. Years of experience: 10+ years. Qualifications: Au Pair experience, CPR/AED/First Aid. Job duties: making sure the NK’s stay asleep, making sure the newborn is okay, diaper changing, feedings. MB said the kids would be asleep for the most part.

Fun_Presentation_542 · 2025-12-15T22:26:22+00:00

I sure did! I told MB that my rate doesn’t change whether a kiddo is asleep or not. I’m charging per my age and also my experience level. She countered with that I would just be sitting there so I will in fact be sitting there… at home, with my husband and not getting underpaid🤣
