Grace: Hey Mel! Are you up for some tennis today?
Mel: Sorry, I can’t! I have to go to work, pick up
Jake and Maddie from school, and make them
an afternoon snack, then take Jake to soccer
practice and Maddie to dance class.
Grace: You sound exhausted. Maybe you should hire
a nanny to help you out! She can pick the kids
up and take them to their after-school activities.
She can also help you do some household
chores, and run some errands.
Mel: Oh, I don’t know... it’s hard to find the right
nanny .You have to consider her previous work
experience, the responsibilities you give her,
and how she interacts with the kids. I would
love to have someone to help me out, though.
Grace: I think you should definitely consider it! This
way you won’t have to juggle such a busy
schedule, and you’ll still get to spend time with
the kids in the evenings. I can refer you this
great nanny Amy. She used to work for my
neighbors, before they moved away. She’s very
responsible, a good cook, and great with kids.
