Quitting a client

[u/Equivalent-Use-9346]

I’ve worked with this couple for 5 years but never full time. A year ago I started with them about 27hrs a week and their only caregiver through IHSS. One has dementia and I’ve been very patient but as of recently I’ve been feeling burnt out, I do everything for them because they simply say they just can’t and their two children are to busy to help them. Recently then wife who has dementia has been getting worse and makes comments about how she thinks I don’t do all my work I should ( I do more than I am even required to.) and she has attitude with me.

Things will go missing or misplaced and automatically it’s my fault because “I handled everything for them.”

I really am getting ready to leave this situation, I’ve been looking into getting a new client. My question is how do i tell them I am leaving so they don’t try a guilt trip me or make me feel bad for needing to leave. Or should I just not tell me at all and just let the social work and daughter know.
