Will try and give as much information as possible. I'm a live in nanny. I do have a contract that says I need to give a month's notice. However, I only want to give a week.
The backstory is, the parents have separated. I've moved to the new home with the mum and children. Whilst I have still been working my hours, I have only been doing it when the children is with the mum, as before now, the dad hasn't asked to use me at his new place.
I can't work for the dad now, I'm getting really anxious. The last 2 years have been emotional as both parents have used me, he's told me things and made it clear that if I told the mum, it's a sackable offence. A year and a half ago I went to the doctors, breaking down in tears with how it was affecting me.
I honestly don't think he will demand me to work a month, but I'm not sure how to put it into the resignation letter.
Can I just put for personal reasons? There are many reasons how I think the contract has been broken by my employer, but I have to be careful in how things are worded as, to be honest, he's scary. He's powerful and I don't want to make things more difficult.
Thank you
