“Lying” to Nanny Family Conflict
I’m a bit conflicted. I’ve been with this family full time for 7 months now. During my interview process I briefly mentioned wanting to go back to school at some point in my life. The mom knew that but I said I wasn’t sure about it/ when I would do it. Which was true at the time, and she still decided to hire me. I love working for this family but ultimately it’s not what I want to do forever so I’ve been actively working towards going back to school in January 2027. I’ve been taking pre reqs full time after work and it’s been chaotic but anyways…
I’ve been keeping this a “secret” from them because I don’t want them to replace me (I hope that’s understandable). I’m also not sure if I will get accepted in this program so I was going to wait until I knew before I mentioned it.
I travel with them and they just started mentioning travels for next year and now I’m nervous about not telling them/ questioning if I’m going about this the right way.
If I get into this program I will obviously give them plenty of time to find someone else, I’m just scared now and don’t want to jeopardize my job.
Just to clarify: the program is accelerated, I will not be able to work during it.
