[quote=Anonymous]You might try giving them notice and letting them know you ar available for up to x weeks to facilitate the transition. Ask them to let you know whether they would like to continue using you for that time. If they  say yes, give them a draft letter of recommendation with some of your accomplishments over the last three years. Let them know you'll need the final draft at the end of next week.

I went this route with my previous position and the family was very receptive. If they were very upset then they had the option to terminate our relationship immediately and I would not expect a reference in that case. But if they were comfortable with the way I care for their children and felt the kids would be safe in my hands then that meant we could take our time to make a smooth transition. They really appreciated the draft letter because it saved them time. It also was a good reminder of our accomplishments together, widening everyone's focus to the overall success of our time together.[/quote]
