How do I know which parrot species is right for me?

I have previous experience with birds. (Finches, doves, cockateils).
I have a 3-yr old daughter, 2 dogs, 2 cats and currently 3 birds.
I work M-F, 8-5.
I am not afraid of being bitten or scratched.
I know of a good avian vet.
I have the means to provide cage/toys/nutrition/care needed by birds.
I know that parrots require more time and effort that other bird species.

Basically, I just need more suggestions on the kind of parrot I should get depending on the information above. I do not think a cockatoo would be right because I am not home during the day and they require much attention. I want a bird larger than a cockatiel but not so big as a macaw. Does any one have any suggestions??

I also want a good natured bird becasue I want my daughter to be able to visit (supervised of course) with the bird as well.

Please offer your suggestions. Thank you!!!
