So i am currently working as a part time nanny form 3-6 pm
I love the family and their son to death, they are awesome people but i got a full time job offer from another family full time working 55 hours a week. How can i brake the news to them without hurting them, i know they said a million time that they don't ever want to loose me as a their babysitter, so now i kinda feel so bad and guilty.
PLEASE HELP i would really appreciate it

The sooner the better. They'll understand that you have a good deal.

Just ask for a scheduled meeting like any other profession. Let them know that you really love working with their family, but you have been offered another position as a full-time nanny. Tell them that you hate to leave, but you really need the full-time opportunity for your life right now. Let them know that you are really sick about having to leave, but this is the path your life has taken right now. Don't feel guilty or bad because guess what? If/when they send their kids to school, after school activities, or you are not needed, they will let you go. Pride yourself in being a nanny because it is a real job and all jobs have revolving doors. One person hired, one person fired.

There really is no easy way to tell them. You just have to tell them that you have a better job offer and you're thinking about taking it. One of 3 things will happen 1) They will get annoyed and tell you to leave and never come back. 2) They will tell you they hate to see you leave but they understand and wish you well. 3) Best case scenario: They will offer you full time hours and pay so they can keep you!
However it turns out you have to tell them. Be honest and explain the situation. Everybody is going through some kind of money crunch so chances are they will understand if they can't increase your hours and pay. Good luck

Well even though you have developed a personal relationship, it is still a job first and foremost so they will understand. You should just let them know you found a job with more hours and you need to take it to get by and put in a two weeks notice if you can. If they like you as much as you say, they would want you to make more $. and it will also give them a chance to counter offer if they want. Either way, you can always offer your services to them on your off times as well just to keep in touch with them family.

Question. How would your life be if you always looked after what other people want in their life? When you going to think of yourself and your life and future and especially money? Just explain it to the sincerely that you had an offer. Also you can make it better if you can find a friend that is a desent as a babysitter and see if they will be fine to take someone who you trust. Good luck

Sounds like you really like them. But you should deffinately tell them that you found a steady job that you would really like to take. But maybe to ease the pain, you can maybe introduce a friend or someone that you know might like to take over for you. Or offer to train a new babysitter to be as awesome as you. And maybe if you have a little free time, you can go over and visit them every once in a while so they know you still care about them.

I would tell them that you love there family however you need more hours. Bring the other offer to the table. If they could match it then great for you if not explain that you need the work and it is not personal.

Tell them as soon as possible to enable them to find another sitter.
I would tell them the truth. "I love your family, but unfortunately I need a full time job. I have found one that I hope will work out, but it means I need to give you notice. I'm sorry for any inconvenience and for leaving the family, which I love, but I have to pay my bills."

Be honest with them. Give them respectible notice and let them know that you may be able to help on the occasion as an evening sitter.
They will understand, this is a great opportunity...not to mention they may offer you something better to stay?

Honey in this day and age it is about being able to support yourself. It is a matter of quality of life.
You simply tell them that it is unfortunate that you have to leave them and that you love them but you need to be full time and that is what you are getting.
