Thread: Nanny Dearest (Ava & SinfullySweet)

Sarah sighed as she hung up the phone, she was near the end of her rope with The Red Balloon. She had been using their nanny service for awhile and yet none of them seemed to fit her needs, sure some of them could handle Hannah but none of them had won her daughter over and it seemed like despite them being around their was still too much for her to do. Perhaps her expectations were too high but she had just started at the new hospital and her hours were terrible, she needed help that could go the extra mile and make her life easier for once, that was all she wanted. A huff escaped her lips, it was difficult but as she turned to look at Hannah it was all worth it. Her little girl, Sarah lived for the beautiful child and she would do anything for her, even if that meant sending away nanny after nanny or take on the extra responsibility herself. The seven year old girl was currently sitting on the couch on her stomach reading a book, not the usual book for a seven year old, a tad advanced but she was bright and always liked to misuse the words she found within the many books she flew through, it was adorable. The little girl was adorable as well, looking much like her mother had at that age with mid-length black hair and wearing a cute yellow dress. Almost every feature was identical to Sarah's, all except her eyes which were brown and looked just like her father's, a fact that never bothered Sarah despite the memories it brought back. Sarah herself could be an awkward woman at times, suddenly becoming quiet and burying herself in work, but she would catch nearly anyone's eye without putting forth much effort. She was tall and mostly legs with a general athletic build, though her build was brought upon by constant maintenance through running. She had raven hair as her daughter did, the small girl getting her luxurious straight hair from her mother, although Sarah kept her hair longer than her daughter and ofter times up in a ponytail as she currently had it, only small side bangs hanging down, usually because they came loose. Her eyes were unlike her daughters though, the beautiful recessive blue not being passed on but her rather fair white skin made them pop. Her curves were decent as well but her bust was anything but large yet they suited her body perfectly. Even her smile lit up a room but then again seeing her smile was not something most people got to do and she hadn't showed it in a very long time. It was hard to raise her daughter but her few true smiles came when she was around her little girl, the reason for her lack of joy was rooted in her past, a past she wasn't looking to dwell on or repeat, she would never repeat it, she had worked too hard to go back to that. So as Hannah ran towards the door and hollered for her she did what she always did and took a deep breath, deciding to approach it as positively as always, Alright, coming. Her voice was normal, and as she pushed herself off the counter she had been leaning on she got herself ready for yet another interview. As she made her way around the corner to the door she got her first look at the nanny and it was slightly refreshing to see casual as whenever she wasn't working she wore similar clothing, as she was at the time. For her it was slightly different, a pair of running shoes with full tight jeans and a regular white v-neck shirt. She may not fit the neighborhoods image but it didn't matter, she didn't care about that. Hell she drove a cheap little Honda Civic not a BMW like many around her. The only reason she didn't live somewhere else was because of her daughter, the same reason she decided to try one more nanny. Sarah rubbed Hannah's head as she made it to the door and crouched down, Introduce yourself and then go read while I talk to the new nanny, okay? Hannah nodded quickly and looked up at her new nanny, a small smile on her face that showed she wasn't so thrilled to have someone else looking after her but speaking politely nonetheless, I'm Hannah, glad to meet you. With that she ran off back over to the couch and grabbed her book before going up the stairs to her room, leaving the living room for her mother and the new nanny. Sarah shook her head before pulling the door open completely and waved for Gabriella to come in, Please come on in and have a seat over in the living room. She walked over towards the kitchen which while not visible from the door was only separated from the living room by a small dividing breakfast bar sticking out from the wall and lined with a few bar-stools so sit at, though a real table was also nearby and it was used more often than the smaller bar.
