I might offer the later care for 3 months and then re evaluate, you can always keep interviewing and if you find someone else with better hours term the later family. It might sound cruel, but its business and like others have said, if they found longer/cheaper care they would leave in a heartbeat. Or if you hate the hours, but like the family tell them "You have 2 months to find a way to pick up by 5:30."
Good luck, I know these decisions are tough.
