After his wife had gone into the kitchen Paul made his way up the stairs to check on Chloe. As he got halfway up the stairs he heard her starting to cry and smiled softly realising he had made the right decision in checking on her before he sat down to do some research.

Once Chloe was settled and was fast asleep again he went back downstairs and sat at his computer closing his work and opening up an internet browser and immediately searching for 'what to look for in a Nanny?'.

After reading a lot of useful websites on the best thing to look for in a Nanny for your children he knew what he needed now so then he searched for agencies in the area that supplied Nannies.

Staring at the piece of paper with the numbers of the agencies on he couldn't help but think about what he read on one of the websites about finding a Nanny that was a good fit for you as a family, somebody that you felt fit with your way of parenting and not just somebody who had the necessary qualifications. With those thoughts ringing in his ears he opened up his word processor and began to write:

Nanny sought for working family with young child. Must be polite, friendly and have a good sense of fun and adventure. A driving license and all necessary qualifications and first aid training are important. Open interviews are being held on Wednesday 17th April at 10 Sycamore Drive, Manhattan. Please arrive for 1pm.

Once he had the advertisement written he felt better, he knew there was little chance of him finding the right person in the job centre but he wanted to make sure all bases were covered because he would hate to miss out on the right person just because he went to agencies only.

Printing off the advertisement he set it beside the computer with the list of numbers for the agencies before he turned off the computer and went up to bed not caring where his wife was or what she was doing, he needed sleep because he would be up multiple times through the night with Chloe before he started it all over again tomorrow.

After having her lunch break Stephanie had gone back to work working the evening shift aswell before she made her way home just after ten. Arriving home she was exhausted as it had been quite a busy evening so she just crawled into bed rather than fixing herself something to eat. She would have to be up early in the morning to check out jobs online because she was too tired to do it tonight.

Early the next morning Paul was up with Chloe so instead of having a lazy start to the morning he got himself showered and dressed whilst she was happy in her crib before he took her downstairs to get himself some breakfast having already fed his daughter and having heard his wife leave at a ridiculous hour of the morning.

Once he had eaten and Chloe was dressed it was just after eight in the morning so he decided to head over to the job centre so he was there when it opened so people had all day to see the advertisement.

Standing outside the job centre he smiled at the woman who opened the door, "a bit keen aren't we?"

"I actually came to place an ad."

Stepping back she held the door open for him, "well follow me and we will get it set up for you."

Following her over to a desk he placed the ad down, "I wish to place this ad today please. I am in desperate need of a Nanny for my daughter so the interviews are being held tomorrow afternoon which gives a day and a half."

Picking up the ad she read it over, "the only thing you haven't mentioned is a salary."

"That's because I haven't yet decided on one, I need to do a bit more research on what the normal salary would be per hour so that is what I was going to do today."

Pushing a pen towards him she wanted it to be in his handwriting, "then please make it clear that the salary is to be determined so people are aware of what they are walking in to."

Scribbling down the words she asked for he handed it all back to her, "so will this now be put up?"

Smiling politely she nodded her head, "I will pin it up this second. Good luck, I hope you get what you are looking for."

Sighing he ran his hand over his head, "thanks, you and me both."

Turning around he left the building to go home and ring the Nanny agencies so they could send some people tomorrow also and then he would look for a salary.

Jade dropped Tyler off at kindergarten before she made her way to the job centre, she was desperate to find a job so she came here every single morning after she dropped her son off. Walking into the job centre she began looking around to see if there were any new jobs being offered with thoughts of Stephanie leaving if she didn't get a job herself in the back of her mind.

As she looked at the board she noticed a Nanny job that had not been there yesterday. Reading it closely she saw that the interviews were for tomorrow but it was the type of job Stephanie would be good at and it would mean she could stay in the area. Looking around her nervously she made sure that nobody was watching her before she quickly unpinned the notice and slipped it into her bag, she was desperate for Stephanie to stay and she would play dirty if she had to to make it happen. Once the advert was in her bag she went back to looking for jobs for herself.

Arriving home Paul got Chloe settled in the bassinet he had set up in his office yesterday before he took a seat at his desk to make his phone calls.

After speaking to the agencies he wasn't exactly filled with excitement, he wasn't getting the feeling from any of them that they would be a good fit for his family and that worried him because he needed someone like yesterday. As Chloe began to fuss he picked her up, "yes yes, I know you're hungry so give a guy a break because he is trying." Walking towards the kitchen he shifted her in his arms, "so Daddy isn't very confident the agencies are going to come through for him, they sounded pretty posh and Daddy wants you to have a normal upbringing not a sheltered silver spoon one."

Entering the kitchen he began to prepare her bottle one handed because holding her was keeping her somewhat calm which made things easier.

After she had checked out the jobs on offer at the job centre Jade had a few errands that she needed to run before she dropped by the café to speak with Stephanie and make sure she went to this interview. As she entered she noticed that she was busy with a table so she went and stood at the counter to wait patiently for her.

Having worked there for so long Stephanie had gotten into the habit of looking at the door every time somebody new entered and she noticed Jade entering and it made her nervous, she never came by on her own in the middle of the day like this. Taking her current table's order she put it into the kitchen before she began making drinks right where Jade was stood, "everything okay Jade?"

Nodding her head she wanted to wait until her friend was free so she could talk to her properly, "I just need two minutes of your time, I swear it won't take longer than that."

Sighing softly she rolled her eyes, "fine. Let me finish these drinks and then you have two minutes before I have to go back to work."

Turning her attention back to the drinks she was making she finished them all before she put them on the tray and carried them over to the table placing them down and promising their food would be with them shortly. Walking back to the counter she stood beside her friend, "what is it you need?"

Pulling the advert from her purse she held it out to her, "I got you this at the job centre."

Furrowing her brow she took the paper confused as to how she had it so neat as she read it over, "uh, you do realise this is a job for a Nanny right and I don't have any qualifications to be a Nanny?"

"I know I know. Are there actually any qualifications to be a Nanny though? You have first aid training, you have a degree in basically early education and you are absolutely fabulous with kids so why is it such a bad idea to try it?"

Playing with the paper in her hands she read it over, "I don't know Jade, there's not even a salary, what if it is less than I'm making here? How the hell did you get something so neat anyway?"

Smiling innocently she looked around, "I don't know, I may or may not have unpinned it from the board so nobody else could find out about it. As for your other question, there's no harm in going to the interview, you can ask the relevant question regarding salary there and you don't even know if you'll get the job but if you do then it will keep you here in New York, isn't that what you want?"

Sighing heavily Stephanie ran her hand over her hair, "I don't know." Suddenly there was a noise from the kitchen bringing her back to reality, "I've got to get back to work, I will think about it."

Not giving Jade a chance to answer she quickly hurried into the kitchen, "sorry Gino."

Looking up from the pan he was watching he looked at her strangely, "what's the paper?"

Quickly shoving it in her pocket she was nervous that he was about to fire her, "a job advert my friend brought in for me, I probably won't go for it though."

"What's the job?"

Biting down on her lip she was waiting for the explosion, "a Nanny."

Smiling softly he nodded his head, "you should go, you'd be good."

"But . . ."

Not allowing her to fight or argue with him over it he shook his head, "don't argue with me, there are plates that need to be taken to the diners and I want what is best for you and this is not it. You are wonderful with children, any child would be very lucky to grow up with you as their Nanny."

Blushing she nodded her head, "then I guess I will need tomorrow lunchtime off."

"It's a good thing my daughter has the day off then isn't it? Go, take these meals and I will talk to my daughter after lunch service."

Picking up the plates she carried them out to the dining room ready to tell Jade that she'd go for it but she had already left so she got on with her job.

Paul spent all day juggling Chloe and working on the salary he was going to offer the Nanny and then once he had that decided he set about writing a list of questions that to him were incredibly relevant to decide on who the right person would be to look after his daughter. As soon as he had the questions set he saved it to the computer so if he thought of anything else he could add them before he printed off a number of copies in the morning so he could write their individual answers down on them and be able to attach them to the resume's they brought with them.

Once he had finished working on the Nanny situation he moved his attention to the designs for the new shopping mall he had been instructed to create, the first draft was due by the end of Friday and he was only three quarters of the way done with it and unless he pulled all nighters and Chloe slept twenty three hours out of the day he would not get them done.

With Chloe in bed Paul took a break from working on the designs for the shopping mall to have some dinner, he was just putting his plate in the dishwasher when he heard the front door slam and he winced, if she woke Chloe he would kill her. Turning around he moved back to the table where the baby monitor was and picked it up listening carefully but was grateful to hear that she was apparently still asleep.

Setting it back down on the table he rolled his eyes as his wife came breezing into the kitchen, "what's for dinner?"

Looking at her like she was crazy he shrugged, "I don't know, whatever you make for yourself I guess. I have been busy setting up interviews for the Nanny and trying to get my own work done so I didn't make anything fancy so there are no leftovers for you."

Rolling her eyes she shook her head at him, "you're a pretty shitty husband. Anybody else would have dinner on the table for their wife after they had been out all day working hard to bring in money to the household."

"Are you actually serious right now? You do realise I have my own money and I have brought in probably at least a hundred times more in the past year than you have our entire relationship right? Our daughter's upbringing is a thousand more time more important than any money that you could bring in but you don't care about that do you because you're a selfish bitch. If you actually care anything about our daughter and want to appear like a good Mother the interviews for the Nanny are being held here from one o'clock tomorrow lunchtime so if you could spare the time for your daughter I'm sure she would appreciate it."

Crossing her arms over her chest she glared at her husband, "I have a job, I have meetings I have to attend, I can't just drop things on a whim for you or for her."

Rubbing his face wearily he felt his blood pressure rising, "of course you can't but I can just drop my commitments because you decided that being a Mother is too much like hard work for you and you bailed on our daughter can't I? I don't know who you are any more but one day you will be sad and alone and you will regret turning your back on your daughter."

Not in the mood to get into any more of an argument with her he picked up the baby monitor and went back to his office shutting the door firmly before he got on with his work and tried to ignore the pain he felt that his wife showed no interest in their daughter.

Arriving home early from work after Gino told her to go and get herself ready for the interview tomorrow she sat down at her laptop with her beans on toast and began reading over her resume making sure that it was perfect before she did some research on being a Nanny and then headed to bed. Tomorrow was going to be a massive day for her and she had to be perfect.
