In need of some help and advice

Hi everyone! I'm Marina and I'm pretty new to The Bump. As my first official post, I need help.

My 21 year old daughter, Aemilia, has an 8 year old son, Lukas. Aemilia is enrolling in college and it'll be really hard for her to take care of Lukas. I suggested that he come stay with me and her younger siblings, but she thinks it'll be too much on me since my due date is less than a month away and by the time school starts, the triplets will still be less than a year old. I know it will be a challenge since Aemilia used to help with the kids and now there would be even more kids and no Aemilia in my house. I work pretty tight shifts so should I put a nanny into the picture? Aemilia thinks that she can get an apartment near campus to live with Lukas but I still think it's better if he stayed with me and my kids. 

So sorry for the rant but if anyone has any suggestions for an agreement we can come to, that would help our whole family so so so much. Thank you. 

Also is there anywhere I could hire a good, possibly live-in nanny in Gainesville, FL?

I would say she is the mom. If she thinks it is better for her and her son to do an apartment. Let them do it. If nothing else they can return and live with you but it sounds like you really have your hands full already.
