Kids at park with parents staying in car. What would you do?

So I was at the park with my 4 year old son and there was a group of three kids ranging from 1-3 years old. At first I thought they were by themselves it then I noticed there was a car with people in it in the parking lot out of view of the park. 1 of the kids got stuck and was crying and I had to help them down and when I asked one of them to get their parents to help they said they weren’t allowed. So I called 911 when I left. Was this the right thing to do?
Clarify: I was planning on staying but an ambulance showed up in less than 2 minutes.
Clarify 2: I would of talked to the parents, but the child saying he wasn’t allowed to get his parents set off a red flag and also I don’t know what can set someone off and don’t want to get in an argument with a stranger while with my son

Have 2 job offers and don’t know what to take.

So I have a job offer at an IFT 5min from where I live that pays $24/hr and an offer from a private ambulance that does 911 overflow and ift that pays $21/hr but is an hour drive. I don’t want IFT but the pay and commute is so much better. I am a brand new emt haven’t worked anywhere yet. Any advice?
Context: I think I should add I am also going to be doing 2 24hour shifts a month at a rural EMS station (700 calls a year volunteer with a stipend of $5/hr + $30 a patient)
Context 2: my end goal is to work on the EMS service in my home town but they only hire paramedics and require 2 years experience.

Does anyone else feel terrible after taking NREMT?

I have my NREMT tomorrow morning and I am on the fence about whether or not last min studying or resting will help more. I got a 96 for my overall grade in my EMT class but a 88 on my final. What do you guys think?
Update: After careful consideration I will take a 10 question practice test, play Hell Divers for the first time in 5 months and go to bed early

I have my class final tomorrow. I am nervous but confident I will pass. Then I can sign up for the NREMT. I was wondering what testing is like? I plan on going to a testing center.
