Take better care

Either way, you have ambiguity.

She cares for the baby better than we do [care for the baby]?

or

She cares for the baby better than she cares for us?

The second of your choices implies the first of mine, but I wouldn't bet a fortune on the intended meaning.

Ok,

Here is a better sentence I think.

Is this better or natural?

She takes better care of the baby than we do ourselves.

She takes care of the baby better than we do ourselves.

or would you say

cares for the baby better...

Thank you Grammar Geek

Now you're not sure if the author means that the care she gives the baby is better care of the baby than the care we give to oursevles.

She takes care of the baby > we take care for ourselves.

I would expect the word "of" (than we do of ourselves) if you meant that, but there is no reason to include the word "ourselves" in there, so it leads to confusion.

The only wa

Thank you

I love our nanny. She is amazing with little Sam. I think she takes better care of that baby than we do ourselves! And if you knew how much my wife dotes on Sam, that's really saying something!

That's exactly what I was trying to convey.

Thank you

Well, there you go. I wasn't sure what you meant, but even a bling pig finds an acorn every now and then. Glad it was what you needed.
