Thanks Kyri it makes me happy that my story can make you happy :D
Stormy...how do you do that with a toddler????

‘Hello, yes I’d like to hire a nanny for the night please’



’You know I’m not sure about this nanny thing…..i’ve heard horror stories..’
‘don’t believe everything you hear babe’
‘well it’s natural for a mother to worry, we’ve never left her with anyone before….is that her now? What is she doing across the road? Is she lost???’



’Great she probably has dementia and we’ll come home to find our house on fire because she forgot to turn the stove off’
‘will you stop worrying, she won’t have dementia, the agency would do thorough checks on their staff I’m sure….you’ll be able to judge for yourself in a tick she’s coming to the door now…and cut her some slack she looks nervous’
‘why should she be nervous??? That’s so comforting Dave’



Of course, yes walk into my house without knocking, hell everybody else in this neighbourhood does.
Where is she going? She’s taking the garbage out, well ok, nice gesture I guess but it would be nice if you stood still long enough for me to introduce myself.



‘Hello Lisa is it? I’m Emalita and this is our daughter…oh ok….i guess we’ll be leaving then…I have my cell phone on me if you need anything’
‘I’ll be fine dear, you and your husband go and have a good time…your little one is in good hands’



‘Bye bye my baby girl, you be good for the nanny ok and mummy will be home soon’
‘come on Em,, we’ll be late’
‘ok I’m coming, just one more cuddle before we go’



‘Do you have to be so insensitive, I’m not particularly comfortable leaving Keira with a total stranger you know’
‘I know but she will be fine, you saw how easily she went to the nanny….she was comfortable with her , kids sense these things and if Keira likes her then I’m happy to leave her with her’
‘I suppose you’re right, as usual’
