Babysitter Guild Novels & Stories

John explained. "And Angela, I'm always going to need wait staff, so let me know when you're ready and how many hours you can work." Susan ran a finger along the baby's little arm. "Thank you," Angela said. "My mom's already called dibs on the babysitting, and I'd be glad to help out. We need the money." "We pay more than the going rate because we help each other. That's always been my motto. My employees and all the customers are my family and friends."

"You're shitting me, right? No one offers this much to a fucking babysitter. No fucking one. And certainly not to an unqualified babysitter." Dee giggled. "I don't know why you look so surprised. You resume was good enough and with the reviews from past parents? I would definitely pay that much for you to babysit my kid. Besides, I've seen first-hand how good you are with kids. And, I put in word for you."

she said, her eyes lighting up with ambition. "That's quite a goal," I remarked, feeling a bit more at ease. "Thank you, ma'am. That's why I figured babysitting would help me prepare better for my career path," she said earnestly. "I’m sold, but I will have to get the contact information of some family members for insurance purposes," I said, feeling impressed by her responses. "Sure, no problem," she agreed, nodding. "Can you start this evening, by 6:30?" I asked, hoping to get a quick transition.

I prayed it wasn't Ad— "Adam." Damnit. I stood abruptly on his bed, facing him with a mix of anger and anxiety. My heart raced in a panicked rhythm against my ribcage. "Hey, I don't need a babysitter! I'm twenty-one! I can take care of myself!" "You can take care of yourself? Really? Is that why you almost got into trouble the other night with some guy following you home?" I glared at him, frustration and defiance mingling in my expression. "Mom and Dad won't agree to this! Adam isn't even someone we know well. Why should he be watching over me?"

I force the thought away and begin to scroll faster. Waitress. Sales assistant. Cleaner. All of them pay too little, not even close to the amount of money I need, but just as I’m about to give up, a new job listing appears on the screen.

Something about it makes me look closer. Then I see the pay. Salary: $4,500/month + bonus upon successful 3-month probation.

I was exasperated, disagreeing with her brilliant idea. Now here's the thing. It's not like my mother never appointed babysitters for me when she had business trips and contests to judge. But, all in vain, there were hundreds of complaints registered against me which led them to quit the job- which had a pretty fair pay- and now those files are probably rotting somewhere in the attic. These babysitters even took payment for their damages. I'm not a monster or anything but it's just their necessity stuff used to mesmerize me and as a curious explorer child, I was prompted to check them out.

I rest my elbow over the back of my chair and cross my legs at the knee. "When was the last time you saw your kids?" I ask Antony, if only just to do something. My eyes find Mariam and I watch her introduce herself to an older man with feather light grey hair. She's fine so I move my gaze elsewhere. "Not since I was hired to watch you," Antony replies. I find Emma and Terry and keep my eyes on them. "Sorry. Hopefully you'll get back to them soon. Do they know what you do?" "The oldest is fully aware. She misses her dad, though. I call her when you sleep."

They didn’t tell me exactly why they wanted to see me, just that I should present myself at the administration office. As I crossed the pediatric hallway, something unexpected happened. I stumbled upon a little blonde girl with green eyes; her face was pale, and she seemed to have difficulty breathing. I reacted instinctively and grabbed her arms before she could fall to the ground.

"Well, while you're still thinking,I have to go to work" "Okay,bye,"she hugged me and left the house as usual leaving me to my Mac book. I started dropping adverts for new employees into the agency. It was a babysitting agency,so I would have different babysitter from all over the world, some which are not in New york with me would work from home and provide babysitting services to people around their country or state,then I'd pay them monthly salary. This was always my mum's idea before she died,now I have to continue from were she stopped. My mum never discriminated, she wanted both male and female babysitters, because they were both good. So I also added males to the ad.
