having a very similar dilemma, how did it work out for you?
I ended up advising them to find care closer to their home or work. I googled the drive they would end up doing (3 hour drive per day) to drop child and them back tracking to work x 2. I knew they wouldn't be able to sustain that and I'd eventually lose them. If distance wasn't an issue I would still have insisted on meeting fist to decide if child suitable for my daycare. My 2+ spot remains open, sigh.
