<prompt> Human: Im 19 years old and I attended a college in Alabama my freshmen year as an out of state student. I decided to take a year off school to work and earn residency in the state of Alabama basically because I failed most of my classes my first semester and tuition prices for out of state students are so high. I love my school but dont want to pay more than I need to to go to college, also the time off from school has helped me find a lot of discipline in my life that I lacked coming in to my freshmen year. I lacked maturity and self control, which is why I did so poorly. I am a full time nanny, the pay is good for someone my age, and its a job that I truly enjoy. However the job I have right now is not at all what I anticipated when I was searching for jobs. Without going into too much detail, the family I care for is getting divorced, it is incredibly awkward and uncomfortable, especially considering my parents went through a divorce. On top of that the drive from my apartment is a 55 minute commute and their is a time change on the way there so I lose an hour. The family is in the army and they move a lot. Starting next week Im suppose to stay with them during the week because of the long commute. They just moved into this house and it feels completely empty, and they have not been welcoming or friendly I think its because they are so caught up and depressed about their own family situation to me. I feel like Im there caregiver and a kid going through a divorce all over again. Both the parents are very sad and not talkative at all. My family lives hours away, and my friends are back in my college town 55mins away. Between the divorce, commute, and living situation I dont think I can keep working for them. I have started applying for other nanny jobs in my college town and have gotten some interviews. If they go well and j get offered a job how can I leave this job with a clear conscience, this isnt the job I signed up for and they didnt tell about any of their troubles until I already moved, but I did make a commitment to them and I dont want to feel bad about leaving. Also unlike other jobs its hard to find a nanny and both parents work full time in the army. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you for reading the long post  <response>: Giving two weeks notice is considered a minimum courtesy in the work world. Its better Kharma to leave a trail of responsibility rather than a trail of irritation, so I would put in the two weeks notice. You do NOT have to get into reasons for leaving other than what you care to reveal and I would not get into it with them about the environment. I would just tell them you are unable to juggle life, family and studies with the arrangement and that you are seeking a job that enables you to succeed with juggling life, family and studies. Its none of their business what that entails, but if they press for details, just have some logistics details ready to throw out there.
