[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't worry. As a MB, it is stressful finding care you trust for your children. We are going through a similar situation with our nanny, and even though we received ample notice, it is devastating to have your children lose someone they love and MB probably fears her child/children getting attached to someone new and then leaving. As grueling as it is for a nanny to find a job, it is just as stressful for families to find a good fit. I empathize with the MB you interviewed with OP![/quote]

I totally understand that it is stressful finding a good fit, and you worry about hurting your kids, but this MB's behavior is definitely a red flag. Finding the right fit is about all encompassing compatibility, not finding someone who will never ever leave and being hyper focussed on that single aspect of her needs. This MB does seem a little bit like she would be so sensitive to a nanny quitting, that if hired OP would be forced to stay until this family is ready to toss her aside or risk her reference by leaving. Since this MB is so focussed on this one issue, she may very well overlook some far more important fit issues that will actually make or break the relationship, allowing it to become long term or not.
