WWYD/ What should I do? Eeks

[Spixie33]

So I have a great group of kids and parents and I have technically two spots open in a few weeks when one of my parents is leaving to go have her second baby. She is taking her two children with her off to maternity land.

So I have an acquaintance interested in a spot for February. Nice lady, good family. her daughter would be 13 months old. The only drawback is that she has a daughter from a previous marriage who spends some of the week with her and some of the week with her ex husband so on certain days I would have to have her 9 year old daughter after school also. Obviously she wants both daughters in the same daycare. I would have her youngest daughter 8-4 and her older daughter from 3:10 -4:00 p.m.


Then last week I had one of my best daycare families recommend another family to me. They have an 17 month old daughter. I met with them - great family, great child and great fit.

So....the problem is that I have 2 spots but the 9 year old girl would be with me an hour a day for about 6-10 days a month and on those days I could potentially be at 6 kids in the house depending on when my other parents pick up. (One picks up between 3-4 but not always before 3:10)

So....the question is WWYD. Is it a big deal to possibly have 1 hour of the day where you are over? I just feel in a quandry. It seems crazy to lose either of the full time children just because of 1 hour. I am usually very by the book but I am so confused because I like all these people/kids.

I should also add that the parent of the After school girl and FT girl works for the school board so she has summers off and therefore this possible overlapping issue would only be until June/school end.
