I currently have three children in my care plus my own two children. All three dck's are 15 months old, as is my son. My daughter just turned 3. I am also currently interviewing for my last two spots and I keep getting requests for 8-12month olds. If I want to be full, I'm going to have all 5 of my kids under 2, as well as my son. If I felt I couldn't handle, I wouldn't take them on, but I find it pretty easy since they are all at the same stage, so wanting to do the same activities and eat the same types of food. It just sucks when they are all teething at the same time! lol
