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.

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

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.

Excellent letter!! I look forward to more of your advice!! Welcome

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 am sorry you are in such pain, I hope that it improves, but you got some great help!
