Here’s the link to my original post.

UPDATE 1:

Hahahaa. I gave MB two weeks notice and she lost it. She’s trying to manipulate me and convince me to stay, and cannot believe I would quit with “two weeks notice”. I may post the messages once I officially no longer work for them. Just know she mentioned having to possibly pull the kids out of school because I’m quitting. Like what.

If I could afford to, I wouldn’t go back. Everything has happened over text, and I imagine she’ll be hostile in person. The good news is that I no longer feel guilty, and after talking to some friends, I can confidently say she’s off her rocker.

UPDATE 2:
I got fired hahahahha. I’m freeeee. I’m broke, but I’m free!

My current family has screwed me over countless times and I’ve hit my breaking point at an inopportune for them. They’ve cut my hours and subsequently revoked my PTO and sick days, assigned more tasks than what was agreed to, and spoken of bonuses and extra hours that have never happened. No, we don’t have a contract. I know, that’s 100% on me—never again.

I recently found out they’re moving this summer and I’m grateful they gave me a few weeks notice to find another job. The problem is, most summer nanny positions start before they move, so I’d be leaving them in the lurch. Some of the families I’ve spoken to have a start date as soon as next week! My current family has multiple children and it’ll be a one-parent household for a few weeks, as the other parent is moving to their new home first to get settled.

I truly feel terrible about the short notice, but this job is exhausting and I’m severely underpaid. But, I don’t want to pass on a good job opportunity because I’m staying loyal to a family who doesn’t value me, and I also don’t want to suddenly leave one parent to take care of multiple children.

Should I feel guilty about quitting at such a chaotic time, or not, given how they’ve treated me??
