I hope no one is crazy enough to put those kids in her "care" again. But now I'm wondering whose kids they really are and how often their actual parents come by.

You've mentioned that the girl doesn't speak English and that you suspected she might be an illegal immigrant. Does she by any chance have any visible ethnicity, and does it match those of the babies? Not that it matters a lot, as I agree they're unlikely to be hers. I just wonder if this illegal baby-watching scheme is going to end up getting tied to a whole community of illegal immigrants or something. After all, why would anyone leave their kids in such poor care if they had a choice?

I don't know that much about immigration laws in France-- here in the US it can be prohibitively difficult to immigrate legally, so there are a lot of people here illegally, and they are generally paid a lot less than legal workers. It wouldn't be at all hard to imagine some of them leaving their kids with an unlicensed teenager while working.
