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.
