What is the best amount of time for giving notice, nanny job?
Asked by pookiebear
I work as a full time nanny and I will have to give notice for the family I work for. I realize that it takes more than two weeks to find a replacement nanny, so I was thinking of giving six weeks, but my boyfriend thinks that is too much, he thinks I should only give 4 weeks. What should I do?

If you know now when your last day needs to be, tell them. Why burn the bridge and this way they will have enough time to find a replacement. You may also be able to assist them in the hiring or training. And this way you leave on the best terms.
A:
As much time as possible is always best..That will also entitle you to a good review by them for further jobs..
