How to quit a job overnight?

Stick it out. You know you should.

Why? They may be total arrogant snobs who would sooner wipe something off on you than talk to you like a human being, but that's what makes you different from them. You DO treat people with decency. (i assume)

If they are leaving your service in 2 weeks, i don't get why you would even care what they say. It's not like you have to worry about their repeat business, right? Just chill. Take a slow deep breath and keep calm.

And just my opinion: if you don't want this to happen again, start doing a 3 week trial period or something.

I would try and finish these last few weeks. Here is the thing dear, don't allow her to chew you out... She does not have that right! Here is what I would do if I were in your shoes. I would go ahead and "try" to follow through with these past few weeks. But, on the grounds the mother does not act like an idiot again. If she does, I would tell her I cannot and will not tolerate such behavior. You are no longer welcomed here. Just be honest and blunt! Good Luck, but if this is bothering you this much, call them up and tell them you can no longer tolerate their family, and you will no longer sit for them again. Then just hang up the phone. Don't lose any sleep over this, obviously this mother is a whack job.

I'd tell them the rate has doubled immediately and that they can either prepay for the next two weeks or move on. And that it's not fair to the other children when their kid takes up so much of your time and is generally a little trouble maker.

Think it over and do what you gotta do. It is your business and you can set whatever rules you deem necessary to efficiently run your shop. They knew that finding a child care center is difficult and this could be the wake up call that they've been needing. It is not your problem that they and their child are.

Good luck with it.

If it were me I would really try to stick to my commitment, but I would do a few things differently. The next time I was being chewed out for something stupid, I would say "Well, we can end this relationship right now if you would like to pay me what you owe and we can call it over as of now".

This is the best way to deal with people who are brow beating you, refuse to take it, but do it politely!

It is not against the law to interrupt her in the middle of her tirades and say "No problem, I can resign as of now, you owe me $___ . "

I call this killing them with kindness, as it is most effective.

Good Luck!

Raise your price, effective immediately.

When we don't want to work with a customer in the business world we charge them more, if the price is to high they find an alternative solution.

If they don't go away until the middle of January, at least you made a few extra $ for the grief.

If I were you, I would just keep working the two weeks.
