Question about Japanese

Is みんな大丈夫ですか considered a polite form of speech? If a mother asked this to the babysitter who's tending her children, in order to find out how they are doing, would this be an appropriate sentence? does this sound natural?

A little unnatural

This sentence is used when a mother asks to the babysitter whether her children were safe or not after a disaster (for example, an earthquake or a fire) or an accident.
If she wants to ask just how her children do, she should ask "みんな元気ですか".
