If I were the mom I'd rather know that you don't like watching older kids. I don't want my child being cared for all day by someone who doesn't really like the age that they're at...

I don't think anything is wrong with not wanting to watch the older child. Some people do not feel comfortable watching older children, you are one of them. I think you should tell the mother that watching both may be a bit much for you and if she could find someone to watch the 9 yr. old. I think you are doing the right thing by being honest with the mother and she will be glad you did..

It's never "bad" to not "want" to do something. Whether you should or should not do something is another thing. I don't know what your cultural values and expectations are and I don't know what your finanancial situation is. Because of these things it's impossible for me to know what the best thing for you to do is.
