Why not do the interviews. Then pick your fav family and charge a $100 fee to hold it until a set time when the rest of the 2 week fee is due to officially confirm the spot? That means they commit to you but aren't out the full money just yet.
That said...you are likely fine to charge the full 2 week. Just make sure you don't spend it just in case.
I am advertising for a 2+ yr old and get so many responses for 1yr olds for next year. It is crazy. I do think you are right, they are in fear of not finding someone so are looking now.
I don't think you would have that much trouble still finding a spot next spring..there will still be plenty of 1yr olds without care.
