How to word termination letter due to my own health

Since you are in so much pain I would offer that if they find something sooner that you would let them go early without penalty. Might help.

Hi there,

I'm new to the forum so, hoping I'm doing this right.

This is the letter I would write.

Dear Parents,

It is with great regret that I must inform you that as of (date), I will no longer be able to care for your child. I am currently experiencing personal health issues that leave me struggling to look after your child the way I feel s/he deserves.

I would like you to know that I have really enjoyed my time with your child, s/he has been a wonderful addition to our group. Please be assured that this decision is not personal, but rather, I feel it is necessary given my own situation.

I recognize that this is putting you in a difficult position, having to find new care on short notice. If there is anything I can do to help with this process, please feel free to talk to me about it.

Thank you so much for your understanding. I wish you and your child the best of luck. You will be missed!

Sincerely,
Me

Hope it helps.

You are amazing, thanks so much for taking the time to write that. I am usually pretty articulate, but was just going blank on what to write.

I used your letter and just gave it at pick up time today. The dad didn't seem too stressed about it, but definitely wasn't expected it. I gave them 2 weeks notice, with the option to leave early without penalty. So glad this is done, I was nervous.

Well I got that Lego teaching job, I am going to observe a class this evening to see what it is like. Hopefully I won't be disappointed!

If this works out I can have less daycare kids. So fingers crossed. Countdown to the end of taking care of the daycare baby has begun, I just have to make it to the end of the month!

My husband is also looking into us taking in a university foreign exchange student, we live very close to a university, so that we could make income from that as well as opposed to having a full daycare.

My ideal situation would be to have 1 or 2 full day daycare kids and a couple before and after school (as opposed to 4 full day daycare kids, plus my own 2 daughters - which is what it is right now). So we are trying to see if we can make that happen.

I included this in my letter, thanks for the idea.
