You should always give two weeks notice to a job so they have time to find someone to replace you.

I would just sat down with them and explain that you have a better job offer. That it would be great for you because you want to go to school. If they care about you they will understand that you are trying to better yourself. They should be told very soon so they can find someone to replace you. You would not want to leave like that. You should give a job a two weeks notice. But in your case you don't have that so the sooner the better. Good Luck with the new job and school.

Just tell them that another wonderful job opportunity has come up, and that even though you love them, you have a lot of financially dependent things in your life, and that this would be best for you. They can't sue you or anything, so if they get rude with you about it, don't worry about it. You have to do what's best for you. Congratulations on the new job!

It's not going to be easy, but I'm sure they will understand. We all need to make a living. I would let them know as soon as possible though, so they can find a replacement for you. Also, when you tell them, you could mention that if they ever need you on your off time, that you'd be happy to watch the children.

Well first of all you should have told them that you were looking for a full time position and they might have been able to help you. Just tell them that you are getting a full time job and that when they need a babysitter you would be happy to help them.

Put your card on the table and tell them asap! They need to know so that other arrangements can be made. Most mature adults don't begrudge someone for going on to something better. It's admirable that you care enough to be concerned, but give them your notice, offer to help any way you can, and go to the next job.
Good Luck!

Make sure you give a TWO week's notice. It's only fair so they find someone to replace you.
Tell them you have come across a great opportunity.
BUT DO NOT tell them before you are absolutely sure you got the other job.

I am sure they will be heart broken. You sound like the kind of person anyone would want to take care of there children..
If ya'll care about each other like you say you do, then just be honest with them & explain it to them just like you did to us..
Good Luck & Congrats on the new job

First of all, no one is ever "irreplaceable", so they will survive. Give them a good warning time, stay a week or two so they can look for someone else, and just tell them your good reasons. 3-6 P.M. for you isn't enough, and maybe your plan for a week is not enough for them.

Honesty is always the best way, tell them your reasons for leaving and how sorry you are to be going. I'm sure they will understand.
