Dear Madam and Sir [last name of the family]

I am very saddened to have to inform you that I see myself in the obligation to resign from my position as childminder to your family. This decision was extremely difficult for me to make, because I developed a great affection for your children whom I had the privilege of keeping, and I have great respect for you, their parents.

Unfortunately, an unforeseen personal obligation forces me to put an end to our collaboration. I want to assure you that I deeply regret this situation, and that I would not have taken this decision if it had not been absolutely necessary.

I would like to thank you warmly for your trust and for the moments of sharing that we were able to experience together. I had the chance to see your children grow and blossom, and it was a source of joy and personal enrichment for me.

I will of course respect the notice of resignation of [x weeks/months] that we have agreed in our contract. My last day of work will therefore be [date of end of contract]. I undertake to continue to take care of your children with the same care and attention as usual, so that this transition goes as smoothly as possible.

I remain at your disposal for any further information or to recommend quality colleagues. Once again, I would like to thank you for the confidence you have shown in me and for the moments of happiness that we have shared together.

Sincerely,

 

[Commune], February 15, 2023

The rules to follow for a letter of resignation in France

 

In France, it is recommended to include certain information in a letter resignation, such as the date of departure, the reason for the resignation, the notice that the employee is willing to respect and any severance pay. However, in the context of a childminder who gets along well with the family for whom she works, it is possible to deliver the letter of resignation by hand or against signature, without necessarily having recourse to the registered letter with acknowledgment of reception. However, it is always better to write a clear and concise resignation letter, avoiding any form of confrontation or criticism towards the employer.

Of course, feel free to adapt or modify it to suit your specific needs.
