when should I stop working!

Question

I'm a full time nanny for a 4 year old and an 18 month old. I work about 40 hours 5 days a week. And I am 21 weeks pregnant today. I'm trying to decide when I should tell my boss when I'll be ready to leave. She already knows I'm pregnant and understands I'll have to leave. I told her I'd stay until it gets too hard to chase the kids around. I just don't know how to judge that and still give her enough time to find someone else. Any thought?

Answer

I work in an extremely busy medical practice. I'm always on my feet, and never get to stop.  I worked until 38 weeks with my first, and until 39+3, with my second pregnancy and then took a few days to finishing prepping for LO. 
I think it's going  I depend on how you feel, and how long you want to work. If you are planning to leave before baby comes, I'd go ahead and decide how long you want to try to work and let her know, as well as if you are planning to come back after baby comes.

Answer

I was a nanny when I conceived and you just really want to give her enough time to find someone who can replace you assuming you will not be going back. So working until delivery isn't really an option. I helped my employer interview and find my replacement.  We started looking at 6 months found someone by 7 months and I left shortly before 36 weeks.

Answer

Your pregnancy will be your own. I am a nanny as well and I'm still working at 35 weeka, but I did just take a week off to relax. Just take it one week at a time and tell her when it seems like it is getting too difficult.
