Not sure what to do....

[mommyof2princesses]

Hi! I am not sure if I posted in the correct category as this is my first time on here but I am in need of some advice and do not know what to do about a situation. I had a daycare parent go on maternity leave last spring but I told her that in order to ensure a spot for her baby once her maternity leave was up in the spring of 2013 she would need to keep her older child with me part time as I could not hold two spots open for a year. That was when my daycare was full.

Once August came I lost a child to "big school", one to a maternity leave that would not be returning as they would be moving within the year and another one to a move out of the city. Therefore leaving me with only the part time child (2 days a week).

I love my job and I love the children but I also need an income coming in to help pay the bills and one part time child is not enough unfortunately. I have since taken on two more part time children (the neighbour/friend of my other daycare family) but am in need of one more child by the start of the new year at the latest to help with income/bills/etc. Unfortunately if I take on one more child I will not have room for the baby that is supposed to come late spring 2013 (the one I am holding a spot for).

I do not know what to do!! On one hand I told this woman I would have a spot for her come the end of her maternity leave but on the other hand my savings is depleating quickly! HELP PLEASE!!!!
