Based on what I read in the gospels, my take would be that God cares more about the heart of the one being baptized than a minor error of speech by the one doing the baptism.

The profession of faith of the one being baptized is what I believe God cares about.

That's pretty hard for babies to do. I think in the Bible, only people of age to understand what they are professing ever get baptized. Even Jesus was in his 30's before he was baptized, and by definition he would understand better than anyone.
