[quote=Anonymous]Are you trading hosting? That might be a concern. If you're planning to host, I wouldn't worry too much one way or the other about it. They might change jobs, sure--but it's equally possible that a neighborhood family might move. You can't really predict that unless you have some reason to believe their current jobs are unstable. (If they both work in Capitol Hill, I'd be even less concerned.) A big upside to a family working nearby is that they're less likely to be late for pickup than someone working elsewhere and coming back home for pickup.

Just put together a contract mandating a reasonable notice for everyone involved to put your mind at ease--we did 60 days in ours.

The biggest factors in success/failure in our experience are the dynamics of the two families (parenting styles, communication styles, etc.) and the ages of the kids (both same age and different age shares can work, but different age shares are more likely to end in one child going to preschool before the other is ready).[/quote]
