[quote=Anonymous]Yes, the above is good advice.  Don't forget that what you're hearing is not first hand feedback - it's been filtered through the perceptions/interpretation/summarization of at least one other person.  MB might not agree w/ how her feedback was characterized, and she almost certainly wouldn't have framed it the same way with you as she would have in the context of an agency touching base.

You could check in w/ MB just like an agency would.  Just ask to sit down for 5 or 10 minutes one day to see how they're feeling about things.  Let them know that you're enjoying their kids and would be really interested in a long-term position if they're interested in that.  "Is there anything you would like me to do more or less of?  Do you feel comfortable with the level of care and activity I'm providing for the kids?"   Etc...   I'm an MB and I'd be very receptive to a conversation like that with my nanny.  If you're going to be with the family long-term you want to build a relationship that allows for regular feedback and conversation.
