Lucia tried to avoid Olivia. She got the message that Olivia was jealous and Greselda wasn't sure if she would be returning to work. They didn't have to work for Olivia and Fitz. Their agency never had a shortage of clients needing their services. They stayed for the babies. It was hard to let go and start over with a new family. They also worried about the babies. It seemed like the higher their salary, the more incompetent the mom and dad. In their industry, babies from well to do families hardly got any consistent interactions with mom and dad. The irony of educated moms and dads not keeping with their baby's milestones.
"I'm going to sleep. There's milk in the fridge." Olivia said.
"Okay."
The babies were sleep, so she would have a few hours of peace. Olivia turned around to ask her a question.
"How long are you planning to work for me and my husband?"
"Until you no longer need my services."
"Do babies usually have a hard time when nannies leave?"
"Sometimes."
"How do you help them with the transition?"
"I make sure they spend a lot of time with mom and dad before I leave."
"I think you should start doing that now."
"Are you saying you want me to quit?"
"No. I want you to help me prepare the babies for you and Greselda's departure. I will need you until Fitz and I get a routine."
"Okay, I can do that."
"Thank you for getting us this far. I really appreciate you doing a great job."
"I'm sure you will be great when you get used to having your babies during the week. You and your husband provide them with a great lifestyle."
Olivia smiled at the backhanded compliment. "You can wake me if they need anything."
