Verbal notice has been given. Granted you still need their written notice but start advertising today! I wouldn't even list it as a potential opening. List it as an opening starting early to mid December.

And, if it just so happens that you get some bites on the ad, start interviewing. Even if the original family comes back with a change of heart, the ball is in your court! YOU decide whether it would be more advantageous to take on one of the new ones or keep the old family.

(Personally, I don't do back and forth...once I catch wind of what's up, they are leaving whether it be by their own admission or by me enforcing it.)
