HOUSTON, TEXAS: Having six children of the same can be a little hectic. Yet we have seen TLC's 'OutDaughtered' couple Adam and Danielle Busby make handling children seem easy. Therefore, many wonder if they really take care of their children all by themselves or take help from a nanny. It is obviously not easy to take care of six children in the house.

Adam and Danielle's quintuplets, Olivia, Hazel, Riley, Parker, and Ava are eight years old while the oldest daughter of the house Blayke is 12 years old. With 'OutDaughtered' Season 9 being on the verge of release, Adam and Danielle will be seen navigating new roles in the family. The new roles will make life hectic for the couple. As we see them exploring the new stage of life, let's see whether they have any nanny employed to take care of the kids.

Does the Busby family have a nanny?

The Busby family does have a nanny. When asked in an interview with USA Today, "Do you guys have to get multiple babysitters? Or do you have one who’s willing to watch all six kids?" Danielle replied, "We have two to three babysitters that are our top. And if neither of them can make it, we’d probably get two people at a time. But we still are very nice to our babysitters and usually try to leave once they go to bed." She further claimed that the quintuples have been sleeping through the night ever since they were six months old. So when they go to bed at 7 pm, Danielle and Adam spend some quality time and "go on a date or go do something."

Who is the Bubsy family's nanny?

Now that it has been revealed that the Busby family has a nanny, fans wonder who it is. In Touch Weekly reports that the 'OutDaughtered' family's nanny has been shown a few times on camera but she has been referred to as a "close family friend." One of the sources claimed, "I know the nanny. She works full time (40 hours or more) and both TLC and the parents agreed to not show the nanny because it 'shows' they aren’t doing it alone." 

There have been rumors that Debbie Trapp McCormack could be the Busby family's nanny. She has been featured a few times on the show but has always been referred to as a "family friend." She is an older woman who was seen helping the Busby family from time to time. She has been nicknamed as Deb in the show. Deb's Instagram handle has posts with Blayke, indeed hinting that she might be a nanny for the 12-year-old. 

Moreover, once Danielle tweeted, "[Love] me some grannie Deb and Lea!! They are the best church family grandmas to the quint!" hinting that Lea and Deb might be the nanny of the kids.

'OutDaughtered' Season 9 will release on Tuesday, July 11, at 9 pm ET on TLC.
