The arrangement has proven beneficial, as the cousin, known as 'Nanie' to the children, has become indispensable, even managing to put the toddler down for naps when the parents cannot. The mother appreciates the extra help and feels closer to her cousin, though she worries about the future when her cousin pursues a full-time career.
