Notice period

[Bessandra]

Wasn't sure where to post this..


Hello


Without going into too much detail at this stage (panic mode, a million and one things to do, feeling emotional :'( ), is there any way/loophole in the NCMA contract notice period when I have specified a 4 week period?
Parents have used me for two days, third day is tomorrow. I told them at the end of day two that I couldn't care for the children and I'd need to give notice.
Guess I'm looking for a cooling off period, although I didn't specify one...

Many thanks in advance x

Did you write in a setting in period as normally no notice or a week is needed in this case.

Wow sounds like you have had a bad experience.

If you want to get out of the contract and cannot face 4 weeks notice and haven't specified a settling in period. It sounds like you have definitely made your mind up, just tell the family you are unable to continue working, apologize, if they persist just tell them it is personal and that you are very sorry to let them down but it is best for all concerned.

Don't do it if you don't want to, it's your like, your business, Good luck
