I just lost a child and got a replacement in the space of 24 hours a week ago--most fortuitous timing EVER. I have my suspicions about this new family and how long they're planning on staying with me. They asked tons of questions about my contract and how to get out of it if they needed to (I assured them that a two weeks' notice is all I need but they still seemed REALLY concerned about it)--their daughter has never been in care before so maybe they just were nervous about a "contract" but I'm still nervous about being left without that income.

I'm thinking of continuing to advertise on Craigslist and take families on a waiting list if I get any responses and if they don't need care immediately...but I don't know if this would be a weird thing to do?
