At this time of year, many nannies resign, often because they are disappointed not to have had a Christmas bonus… but many of them make the mistake of resigning before having a signed contract.

Sometimes nannies are so sure that an offer is forthcoming that they go ahead and give notice to their current employers, but in this industry, there is always a risk that the job offer you’re counting on might fall through, even if you have a verbal offer…

It can be tempting to give your notice on the spot, but it can also be an enormous mistake if you don’t have another job formally locked in yet.

So Nannies, never resign before you have read, accepted and signed your new contract!
To avoid finding yourself without a job, only resign if the offer is finalized and your new job is certain.
