If I make a committment to someone to hold a spot, i would honour that commitment but having said that I probably wouldnt hold 3 spots for this very reason. I would interview the people that have contacted you for sure, they may not even be a good fit you never know. I agree that we all have to look after ourselves but you made the commitment to these families knowing their start dates and that you wouldnt have the income until then. In my experience if families provide a deposit, they are serious about wanting the spot. We have all be screwed by families at on time or another and I totally get that any one of these families could change their mind but so could the family who wants to start in November. We just never know how things will go, we have to do what our hearts tell us is the right thing. You may want to consider what has already been suggested which is to take on the extra family and with your part timer, you would only have 5 kids twice a week. best of luck.
