    As I do not live the the USA, I am not familiar with the home daycare laws, but if you are limited in any way to the number of children you can legally watch, then I would tell her that unfortunately, you can not provide that service at this time. I wouldn't allow her to drop the kids off at random times as they are going to be a lot of work as they will more than likely act out as they are not used to being there (at least the little one may). Also, if she has a hard time making her mind up, she may just use you as she needs you without ever having the intention of sending both children to you. I would personally just make a clean break.
    Good luck with whatever you decided to do.

    Opps sorry I posted while you were sharing this ~ I agree!
    Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."
