Should I fill to my absolute max?

If you feel like you can do it, I say go for it. But if it means you depend on a lot of outside factors, such as assistants MUST be available, and nobody else's schedule can change and certain kids MUST get picked up at certain times, and so on.... then I might rethink it. Things don't always go the way they are supposed to, and you don't want to put yourself in a pinch.

Try. You wouldn't know unless you try. Talk to your assistance and let them know you won't be happy if they don't show up on the days they suppost to be there. Even if they don't show up you will have hectic days here and there. And also if the children under your care are not all babies I'm sure you will be just fine. I personally would try and see if I can do it.

I don't know how many you are allow to care but make sure you don't go over your limit as one of the families I met said that they will be reporting some day home as they belive she is taking too much kids and the place was very small.
