How to leave a family and should I?
The only times I left my nanny families are when the children age out and no longer need a nanny. I have been with my current family for almost 2 years. I started as full time and due to health issues a year in I asked to go part time and they accommodated as the child was starting preschool. Originally the child was going to do half days a few days a week but with my issues they changed it to full days a few times a week. Well now in September she will be starting full day preschool 5 days a week. So I will only be with the child 3 hours four days a week with about 3 hours a day of housework. So now I have 2 job opportunities that has been presented to me through family friends both positions being significantly closer. My current job is 40 minutes away. The new opportunities are 10 and 20 minutes away. I really enjoy my current nanny kid and I feel so bad if I left the family. I feel like they accommodated me with my health issues and they have expressed many times that they want to keep me in the fall and keep me happy with hours and such. I have expressed the same of wanting to stay. So id feel bad leaving after saying I want to stay as long as I can. A quick side note, my bosses are nice but they do work from home and they get very involved in our day which makes my job a lot harder. So it would be nice to move on but I have a ton of guilt
