Those are good advices: main reason why I have decided to quit is because I have two children, and I realized I am not ready to give back my toddler kids back to care. I don't know if this is a good enough reason. I will think throughly it before do it. Again, thank you.

get another job and try it if you can during your time off. But think about it first then by the end of the month you can really decide if you want to quit or not.
To be sincere you dont seem unhappy and you are really lucky to have a nice boss, and the fact that you are hesitant to resign shows your loyalness.
If you decide to resign just tell him your tired and you feel youre not giving yourself a hundred percent and you need some space to breath, also that the pressure is getting to you in a negative way and that you were very happy to work with him. Hopefully that will leave you an opening if things turn wrong at the other job.

I have been in the same situation and I found the best thing to do was to make an appointment to go and speak with your boss and explain how you feel.
They will respect you more for being honest and may even offer you more time if they feel you need it.
They can't stop you from leaving and they can't sack you for wanting to.
Honesty is definately the best policy here. It will also give them a warning that they will need to replace you and it is better to do it now than later.
Be sure it is definately what you want. Weigh up all the options like whether you can manage without the wage etc.

First, make sure you have another method of income coming into the home. When you go back to work, thank your boss for the time off. Inform your boss that while you were off you have made a decision to take another career path, give your 2 weeks notice, so there is no bad blood.

If you are still employed then the terms of your contract still apply, so if you're on a month's notice you should expect to work a month from the date you hand in your resignation.
Although you feel obliged to your employer because they gave you time off, this is a separate matter.
If it was me I would arrange a meeting, but have a letter ready to hand to your boss. Explain at the meeting that you really appreciate the fact that they let you take the time off, but that you have now had time to think, and that is not the place for you. Appologise if you feel it's neccessary, and say that of course you are willing to work your notice. You may find that they will release you from your contract immediately, but this is up to them.
Good luck.

Write a letter of resignation giving two weeks notice, signed and dated and present it to your boss in person stating something like:
"After much consideration I have come to the conclusion that I need a change of direction in my life and have decided to resign. I appreciate the opportunity that I have been given to work here and the skills I have developed, as well as the kindness I have been shown and I know that I will carry these experiences forward throughout my life."

2 weeks notice for sure. Especially since your boss gave you the month off you needed. That would look really bad if you didn't give them the time to hire someone else, especially if you used them for a reference. If you don't need the job then you should do whatever makes you happy, they might get mad at you but they will have to get over it eventually. You only live once, might as well be as happy as you can.

I did the same thing a few years back. The best thing to do is at least give your boss a few weeks notice, and not stone cold quit. That way, if you need to come back to work, the bridge is still open.

You should call himher and just explain that you've decided to go another route with your career. Give two weeks notice for sure, whether it be part of your month off or even if you have to go back for a couple weeks. Tell him/her thank you for being so understanding about your time off, you're very grateful, etc, etc...you don't need to explain anything any further, just say you're moving on...

Firstly, you need to find another job before you quit..
Then, and only then , should you quit..
You need to give our old boss as much advance warning as
possible and try to quit in person..
Invite him to lunch or something..
Sounds like a job or at least a reference you might need in the future....
Don't ever burn your bridges unless you have to...
