Cause I babysite tommorow, and if it doesn't go better, I am not plannign to go back Thursday...
And what do I tell the mother. How is this? 'I feel that when the kids don't listen to me that it is somehow my fault. And as we have discussed, your daughter, won't listen to me and is not that nice to my daughter.' (I bring my daughter with me to their house). There are other reasons, but those ones started all the other ones
that sounds really blaming.. should I just lie and say I found something else?

you should really give her notice that if she doesn't speak to her children and discipline them you are going to quit..IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT....you do not have to put up with it...she is the parent ..it is her responsibility to control them....i did exactly this...told them what the older child was doing with the child standing there so she couldn't lie later when asked ....i told the parents i was going to quit if matters weren't straightened out and dealt with....IT'S NOT EASY GETTING DAYCARE PROVIDED AT HOME

Yes that would be your problem if you do not show up on Thursday. You should give her at least a week or two to find a sitter. If this was a real job you would have to give a notice or your employer may not give you a good reference. If you give them a notice I'm sure you could use them as a reference if you ever needed them for another job. Give it a chance if you are just starting. Do you treat the children the same as you are treating yours. Remember the rules at their house should go for your daughter also when she is there. I wish you the best of luck and I hope you do the right thing.

Like with any employment you should give your employer at least 2 weeks notice. If you contracted tobe there on Thursday You'd better be there or she can sue you for any missed wages because of having to take off work to tend to finding a new sitter. Also just because YOU raise your child one way doesn't mean she HAS to raise her child the same way, and IF you bring your child with you it is YOUR child who has to follow YOUR rules and HER child who has to follow HER rules. YOU must also comply with the mother's rules when it comes to babysitting her daughter. Whether it is "nice" to your daughter or not doesn't even enter into the picture since your daughter should not be on the job with you to begin with. If you want a babysitting job where your daughter can be with you I suggest you do it from YOUR home and not in someone else's home. Because if something happened to your daughter in THEIR home they would be liable for any injuries that occured to her. That is WHY children aren't allowed in the workplace.

You will need the reference, so it is our problem to leave her without a sitter that soon. Give her a two week notice, and tell her that you really "love your job, that you have been there for ...so long, that you have gotten to appreciate them very much, but this situation is getting out of hands, that you feel that your daughter rejects you and you are not feeling comfortable anymore, that you plan in looking for something else, but you don't want to leave her until she finds someone else" probably you could help her find someone else. I know you can't take it anymore but you don't want to leave a bad impression, life turns in weird ways, you never know if someday you'll need something from this woman.

Is there a relative that could do it for her if you give no notice? Otherwise, you could tell her that you want to quit, give her the reason, and ask how much time she thinks she needs. I wouldn't go more than like 3 days including the day you tell her. It would really suck for her to have to take the first person she met, just so she didn't lose her job. She may say you don't need to give notice, just because she may not want you babysitting her kid if you don't want to, ya know. Anyway, if you pray about it, you will get the exact answer you need, and the right way to do it. god bless and gl.

at least 2 weeks, even though you are having problems with the kids, be courteous to the mother, if you quit on her and she has no sitter it could cause her to lose her job then the kids would have no way to get fed

Enough time for them to get a new babysitter. My guess 1-2 week's. Just like any job.

You need to be responsible about this, which means that you can't just walk out on them.
In any job, it is recommended that you give 2 weeks notice.
