I'm more of a move on kind of person. I typically email around Christmas but really that's it. The contact I maintain is with the parents, not the kids. Yes I miss them but I put all my energy into my new charges.

Exactly what you're already doing. It's great.

I have a question for those who parted on very amicable terms and keep in touch with their family or nanny.
It's been about 9 months since I finished a long term position with the youngest child now being 8. The mother has become one of my closest friends and we email and text fairly frequently, I text with the older siblings and the little one and I skype on occasion and write each other letters (mostly I write her letters and she sends me texts from her mom's phone telling me she's writing me a reply). They moved to a different country and I am visiting them this summer, I can't wait.
I was in the same position before as well, after a great time and a fantastic relationship with a family, we kept in touch and I visited them many times. We still email and see each other every couple of years, but the kids who were so 'mine' and who still love me and whom I adore, I'm afraid the bond with them isn't there anymore.
I don't want this to happen to my 'current' family. So hence the question, if babysitting isn't an option (both my families live overseas), how do you keep in touch?
