Kim's POV:
I waited in Kopplin's Coffee, a coffee shop across the Marshall Bridge. I was waiting for a woman named Evelyn Bernstein. I just quit my other job as a live-in nanny.
The Wilsons were moving to England because Mr. Wilson had gotten a promotion, meaning that they took their eight year olds whom I watched since their third birthday. I was really sad, especially when I had to turn down their offer for me to join the family in Manchester!
I checked my phone and made sure that I was on time and didn't screw something up. 7:59 AM. I sighed in relief. As soon as the clock struck 8, I heard the bell to the shop ring.
I looked up and I saw an older woman walking over to me. "Hi, I am Evelyn, but most people call me Ella."
Ella's POV:
I was looking at her through the window. Brody was right, she was gorgeous! She had honey blonde hair that stopped at her lower back. It was pulled back into the neatest French braid, so I'm sure that Kenzie would love her. She looked extremely fit; meaning that Matt would like her. She took out her phone and looked at the time, I'm assuming because she never unlocked her iPhone. She was punctual, so Jack would like her too.
I walked in and introduced myself. "So, your file says that you were working for a single parent with a set of twin boys for five years. What made you quit? Were you in a relationship with Mr. Kyle Wilson? It that why you left?" I asked her. I had already talked to her past boss and she has already gotten the job, I just want to see how well you handle pressure. I have raised every single Brewer kid since the day that they were born, trust me, you need to be able to do well under pressure.
Initially, she looked slightly taken aback by my question, before composing herself and answering. "No ma'am, of course not. His wife died during labor. I feel like that would be overstepping my bounds. We were never involved with each other; it's extremely unprofessional. They were my first job, right out of high school. I couldn't mess it up." She said, calmly.
I inwardly clapped at her success. Once this meeting was over, we'd be going back to the Brewer household to meet Jack and the kids.
"So, this will be your second family? What are you looking forward to?" I asked, sitting back in my chair. It was a normal thing, for me to get tired out of nowhere. I told Jack that I had a month and a half left, when I don't even know if I'll make it another week. I have already started planning my funeral. I am okay with dying now that I know my kids will be in good hands.
"Well, I am especially looking forward to having another girl in the house! Last time, they were all boys, so, there were play fights and mud everywhere. But yes, this is my second family. I hope I can keep this job for a while." She said, smiling.
"I have two more questions until it is my time to go. What makes you qualified?" I asked, really listening for this part.
"Well, I started babysitting for a couple of hours when I was 11. By the time I was 16, I would watch the kids in my neighborhood for weeks at a time. So, I have had extensive experience. Also, I can cook, clean, do laundry, practically be a mother to kids who need one. It has always been my passion, to help children." She said, looking down into her hands. "What was your other question?" She asked, politely.
"Well, congratulations, Kimberly. You got the job. Now, my question is, are you ready to meet the family?"
*Time Skip*
I walked out to my old Jetta and turned it on. Ms. Ella told me to follow her back to the Brewer residence. I am so happy I wouldn't have to live out of my car anymore. I mean, it has only been a day, and I have been staying in a hotel, but, all of my stuff was in my car.
By the time we got back to the Brewer household, it was 9 o'clock. We were getting farther and farther into the woods, at first I thought that she was going to kill me. But then, I saw a huge, black gate with a 'B' in the middle. The iron gates opened slowly and we made our way up the hill.
I gasped when I saw the beautiful exterior of the house; I could only imagine what was on the inside! I didn't exactly come from a good household. My mother died during my birth and my dad took it out on me ever since I was five. Sure, I looked like a tough cookie on the outside. I was a fourth degree black belt, I was popular, my dad was rich, so I was 'spoiled,' I was one of the smartest people in my grade, and I had been a dancer en-pointe since I turned five. Everyone thought that I had it all. Then, my dad beat me so bad that I had to run to my best friend's house, however, I passed out in her front lawn before I made it to her. Mika nursed me back to health. I never missed a day of school though, that called for an extreme beating. It's his fault that I am a nanny, both a good and bad reason.
I snapped out of my thoughts when I saw Ms. Ella knocking on my window. We walked up to the front door before she opened it. "No one is home. Jack and the twins are coming back in about and hour."
I gasped again. God, if I kept this up, I was going to pass out pretty soon. There was a shiny marble floor with yellow chairs on both sides of the stairs. The foyer was so elegant! There was a glass table with yellow roses in a vase. "This is the foyer. We typically park around back, so the front door is only for guests. The middle the two rooms in the middle are the guest rooms. I'll take you to the kitchen first. That, is to your right." She said, turning and taking me down a hallway. She stopped and motioned to a white door. "This is the half bathroom. It is practically only for guests and for when it is time to wash up for a meal."
I stepped inside the small bathroom and saw rich brown walls with a white sink and a wall separating the toilet from the sink. The fancy mirror had lamps on both sides. Whatever this Jack person did got him MONEY!
"Here is the kitchen." She said, gesturing to the gourmet kitchen. I could cook anything in this kitchen! The floors were white tiles. The drawers and cabinets were all white with marble counter tops. There were beautiful hanging lights above the sink, the island, and by a really big cabinet. Ms. Ella walked me over to that enormous cabinet and told me that it was the refrigerator, and that there was a separate freezer. Gosh, and if you could only see the pantry! Before I could talk about how magnificent the kitchen is, I was ushered out of the kitchen and into the dining room.
The dining room was really nice; not as nice as the kitchen, but nice. The 'walls' were actually ceiling to floor windows. There was a circular, round table amongst six elegant chairs. There were pink tulips in the middle of the table to give it a nice, homey look.
We turned around and crossed the foyer again to take a look at the living room. This had a more modern and relaxed setting. There was a long, brown sofa in with two chairs on both sides. There were cool chandeliers hanging. Also, there was a fireplace in front of the television with HUGE flat screened television above it. There was a door in the corner of the room but she said that will be the last thing that she shows me.
She took me upstairs and showed me the family. Honestly, I thought it looked like a hotel lobby. We didn't stay in there very long. Now, we were off to the laundry. It looked like a kitchen at first glance, but then I saw the washing machines.
She told me that she had to leave. But, she told me to my room and left yelling, "They will be here any moment!" Before she drove off.
This is officially my family. Brewers, bring it on!
