“Next question; what are your favorite ages to care for, and why?”
“Infants; they’re more predictable.”
“What do you think will be your most and least favorite part about being a nanny?”
Damn. That’s a toughie.
“I think my favorite part about being a nanny will be the day-to-day flexibility, and my least favorite part will be getting attached.”
“Please explain the last part.”
“I think it’s pretty self-explanatory, Jonathan. This position won’t last forever. I fear that at some point, walking away will be difficult.”
He hummed and tapped the paper with the crayon. I was fully expecting him to draw a sad face, but I was being a realist.
“Do you have any experience navigating dietary restrictions and allergies?”
“Yes. One of the children I babysat was deathly allergic to peanuts. I noticed that the food in your home is very health-conscious, and that won’t be a problem.”
“Good.”
“Do any of your children have dietary restrictions or allergies?”
“No; knock on wood. Do you prefer a casual environment or a strict schedule?”
“I’d prefer a casual environment but understand there are times that call for strict scheduling, such as wake up and bedtimes, meals, and screen time.”
“What do you like to do in your spare time?”
I smiled weakly and willed myself not to cry. “I enjoy riding bikes, watching British television shows, listening to music, and curling up with a good book.”
“What is your favorite British television show?”
“Midsomer Murders.”
“No offense, but that show puts me to sleep.” I clucked my tongue in disapproval. “How many seasons have there been?”
“Twenty-three.”
“Twenty-three seasons. You’d think people would move from Midsomer. With their track record, someone is being murdered weekly. It’s unrealistic.”
“Unrealistic or not, it’s my guilty pleasure.”
“All right. Let’s move on. Who is your favorite musical artist?”
“Tanerélle.”
“I’ve never heard of her,” he admitted.
“Shame.”
He grinned and wrote her name on the paper.
“What kind of books do you enjoy reading? I’d presume poorly written who-dun-it novels with an ultimate plot twist you never saw coming.”
“If the book isn’t $2 or less, then I don’t want it.”
“We have a secondhand bookstore not too far away. You should check it out.”
