I ended up using Alby (npub1get…0nfm) Hub with their cloud hosted solution. It works great and with the Friends and Family app I was able to connect my kids to the same node.
I followed BTCsessions (npub1rxy…hnp8) tutorial to a T including paying for a first channel for inbound liquidity and then using some on-chain funds to create a second channel with enough outbound liquidity. Thanks for the tutorial!
So far the experience is good.
Plus: the kids accounts operate from the same liquidity. I believe sats don't leave the Lightning Node when I send sats to any of my kids 😂
Cons: the Alby Go app lets my kids create a getalby.com Lightning address but the address doesn't work for receiving sats. They can only receive with invoices. I hope Alby changes this soon. So much easier when sending money to them.
