In a home daycare (if licensed), then the legal adult:child ratio should still be enforced.

If the provider is following the law.

A Nanny in charge of four children, two newborn infants is only in it for the money $$.

Are you a nanny?  I find that it’s always the parent who says a nanny isn’t capable of caring for 3 + children, simultaneously because they can’t care for that many children themselves.  I know tons of nannies, including myself, who have cared for 4 children, simultaneously; 2 toddler and 2 infants— also, an newborn is considered a child that is 3 months or younger; the two younger ones will be 9 months a part.  There’s no doubt that you will need a strong nanny— and most arrangements like this are with families that the nanny has been with for 2+ years, so I’m sure the parents trust and knows what the nanny is capable of.  I’m not going to say it’s an easy job but it can be done with the right person.  [/quote]

Maybe you can take care of 4 kids, as you said 2 toddlers and 2 new borns babies.  But I am sure with a very poor quality of care.  It will never be the same.  [/quote]

By the time the second baby joins the share, the toddlers may be preschoolers and the other infant may be a toddler.  Approximate ages would help everyone feel better about this, but the reality is that neither family wants to give up the nanny, both families have thought through ramifications for compromised care, and the nanny feels she can handle it.[/quote]
