On a recent Monday morning, 28-year-old Meagan Phillips gently rousted 1-year-old twins from their beds, and expertly coaxed them into their clothes and to the breakfast table.
Thirty minutes later, the kids were fed and ready for play. Their parents — dad’s a lawyer, mom’s an engineering manager — kissed them goodbye, climbed into their SUV, and drove off to work as Phillips watched, holding one squirming toddler in each arm.
