So I have a sudden spot (didn't know the family was going to leave) and I have been busy interviewing for it etc. All of my inquiries have been for one year olds and as I said in another post I am not sure what to do.

Both families have expressed interest in the spot. I really liked one of the families a lot (super cool parents, very cute/chill kid). I just don't know if I can/want another little one but I really need to have someone in the spot to make the income I need.

I have been trying to weigh my options and I have kind of come up with this.

Taking a one year old
*Couldn't go to the park very easily as it would be too difficult (corralling the group and walking there). I would have four kids 2 and under and one 3 yo and one 4 yo (plus another 3 yo 2 days a week). We have a backyard and there is a school park across the road but i like the flexibility of being able to travel/explore.
*My days would be crazier/more physical for sure
*Could possibly hire someone to help out two mornings a week for park trips and spend the other days in the backyard.
*My DD who is 4 yo will be at a summer day camp for 2 weeks so that will take some of the pressure off (other people will be bringing her and picking her up).
*I really like the kid/family.

Waiting for an older child
*May never find one. I have had luck in the past but who knows. Had zero inquires so far.
*Financially doable to wait but not for too too long.
*I have 2-3 spots open in Sept with kids going to school so I need some younger kids now.
