A Sample resignation letter due to childcare is very useful if you are a staff nurse at a hospital (although there are nurse samples available), a secretary, a music ministry, a teaching assistant at a primary school, etc. but if you have been on maternity leave, you may be thinking about handing in your resignation letter because you would like to stay with your child longer or just be a stay at home mom, it is necessary then to inform your employer to avoid any conflicts or burning bridges.

There are two ways you could let your employer know.

For instance, if you have an urgent matter to attend to you could send them an email informing them about your decision.

Mr. Paul Ferrari

Stirling Manufacturing

1439 West Plant Rd.

Denver, CO 80123

Dear Paul,

I’m writing this letter to let you know that my last day at Stirling Manufacturing will be March 11. I am sorry to leave such an excellent employer, but I have decided to stay at home with my baby for the first few years of her life.

As you know, I have felt quite conflicted since coming back to work following my FMLA time and my extended unpaid leave of absence. I truly bonded with the baby and appreciate your generous permitting of time off while I thought about all of the options.

Since coming back to work full time three weeks ago, I have had a difficult time balancing my work and life roles. I have also not found childcare that I am completely happy with and this is adding to my stress.

I have appreciated my ten years with Stirling and will certainly consider working with the company again, depending on your needs when I come back into the workforce. I will long remember the kindness and generosity with which you treated me throughout the pregnancy and during my leaves.

I hope that you will remember me and my work with appreciation and a positive spirit. Please stay in touch when I am no longer working here.

Please let me know how I can help you transition my work and my job to another employee. I am also available to help recruit and train my replacement, even beyond the two weeks, if you don’t mind the baby under the desk while we work together.

Again, working here has been great. I will miss you and all of my coworkers. Becoming a stay-at-home mom was a difficult decision, but it’s the best one at this time, for my family.

I wish you nothing but the best.

Sincerely,

Julie Lindmarr (signature hard copy)

Please accept this letter as my two weeks’ notice of resignation as a Preschool Teacher for the ABC Daycare Center. My last day of employment will be Friday, October 3, 2013.

Please do not hesitate to contact me by phone at (555) 555-5555 or by email at jana@henderson.com if you have any questions regarding either of these items.

I know I will miss the smiling faces of the children at the daycare center, as well as the support of my co-workers. I hope to stay in touch so that I can remain updated on the center’s progress. I wish all of the staff much success and thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Sample 7

Example from greatsampleresume.com:

“Dear Mrs. Weaver:

Please accept my resignation as the pre-kindergarten teacher at ABC Daycare Center effective August 15. It is with mixed emotions that I leave this job that I love. As you know, I am expecting my first child three months from now and, after much discussion and thoughtful consideration, my husband and I believe it would be best for our child if I become a stay-at-home mom for a while. My plan is to stay home with our child as long as we can afford to live on my husband’s income alone.

I have treasured every moment of the 5 years that I have served as the pre-kindergarten teacher at ABC. I dearly love each one of the children and will miss them all terribly. I will also miss the other members of the staff at ABC who have all grown to be treasured friends of mine. I believe you operate the very best daycare center and pre-school in the metropolitan area and it has been my honor to be a part of your highly skilled and professional staff. I am happy to help train the new pre-kindergarten teacher when you hire one and I will have all curriculum and classroom materials in good order to make the transition as smooth as possible in time for the new school year.

It is my plan to arrange to visit ABC regularly after our baby is born. I look forward to keeping up with the children in the pre-kindergarten class as well as all my friends on the staff. I hope you will email me and keep me up-to-date on all the news and any special events at the center. I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to impact the lives of the children at ABC. My time here is something that I will cherish always.

Sincerely,

Jessica Hughes
