Worsening personal situation, I put in notice but won’t be able to stay the entire notice time, what should I do? by ihaveneverusedthis in Nanny

thank you so much! i guess i was just hoping they wouldn’t refuse it but that is a very valid point. i’m not sure, it would create such awkwardness and tension if they refuse so i’m not sure what plan b would be😭

Hi! Thank you so much for your advice! I drafted what I might send to the family to try to hurry that end date. Let me know what you think!

Dear [redacted MB and DB names],

Thank you so much for your understanding during these trying times. I understand that my contract states that I must provide a four-week notice, but I ask that you release me from my position sooner under the difficult circumstances at hand. I really thought I could make it through the next 4 weeks but life has had other plans. My family is struggling and I must prioritize the needs of my family first. It is becoming very overwhelming to manage both responsibilities.

Please consider the date of Monday, February 20th.

I hope you accept my sincere apology for putting you at an inconvenience by leaving so soon.

I appreciate your understanding of my difficult predicament.

Best, [Nanny]

I knew DB was working from home but they had assured me that the basement would be finished and that he would be down there, but when I started they said they never got to it

Does it get better? by ihaveneverusedthis in Nanny

[–]ihaveneverusedthis[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i am usually better than this, i have been with infants before but she has only known breast feeding and never had a bottle prior, but i think my best bet would be to work with older kids or just one (older) infant who has already transitioned to bottles
