from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

WebDriverWait(driver, 3).until(
                        EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID , 'bigRoadTd_0_0')))

parent = driver.find_element(By.ID,'bigRoadTd_0_0')
all_children = parent.find_elements(By.TAG_NAME,"div")
for child in all_children:
    print(child.get_attribute('outerHTML'))

Above will find the parent and parse the children for their outerhtml.

Also you wouldn't use css selector to find that specific child element, it would be:

element_html = driver.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME,'banker').get_attribute('outerHTML')

These are the attributes available for By class:

ID = "id"
XPATH = "xpath"
LINK_TEXT = "link text"
PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT = "partial link text"
NAME = "name"
TAG_NAME = "tag name"
CLASS_NAME = "class name"
CSS_SELECTOR = "css selector"
