I once had only two dcks and both dcms lost their jobs. One week after the other. One of the dcms was telling me how upset she was over losing her job and i said "i know how you feel. I just lost my Job today too". I watched her child for free a few times when she had interviews. She was offered two different jobs. One a typical 9 to 5 and the other that involved night, weekends and a varying schedule. She took the latter and was upset with me that i wanted to charge more for nights and weekends. It ended badly. What i learned is that parents put their schedule, their finances, their needs before ours. This is a business and they will treat it as such when it suits them. We tend to have kind hearts and get taken advantage of. So please out the needs needs of you and your family first and take a child from your wait list. You don't know how long it will be till this parent finds a job and you don't know the location or hours of their neat job. You need to play it safe here.
