After Y/n got her suitcase empty, she sat on her bed exhausted. She couldn't believe her new and stable job.
Also the house that now she used to live in was different from the O'Hara house. Her parents house was not that big, actually it was an apartment, with a pair of bedrooms and the kitchen and the bathroom. But the O'Hara house was gigant, full of rooms, so many doors, so she had to be careful to do not get lost.

As she got out of her bedroom, she heard someone crying. Of course it was Gabriella, when the babies wake up they usually cry because they are alone.
Y/n walked to her bedroom, opening the door slightly.
Now that the nanny could give a better look, the baby girl's bedroom had a soft and soothing color scheme, with neutral colors. The room had a cozy crib with a comfortable mattress and soft bedding and a mobile with gentle music or soft toys hanging above the crib, to provide visual stimulation for the baby. Additionally, to the wall there was the changing table with storage for diapers and baby essentials, a comfortable rocking chair for feeding and bonding, and a soft rug or mat for playtime may be included in the room.

Gabriella was in the crib, crying and making noises for someone to pick her up. When Y/n got close to the crib, Gabriella's attention got on her, with no esitation. She kept crying but this time the put her hands up, to be picked up.
Y/n heart melted and picked the baby up, in a comfortable and safe position.
Gabriella slowly stopped crying but she was still whining, as she sucked her own hand. That was a sign that probably she was hungry.
As she culled the little baby, she walked to the kitchen to search the baby bottle <<Shhh baby, your milk will be ready soon...>> Y/n whispered cute words to the baby, as she prepared the hot milk
Y/n gently swayed back and forth, soothing the baby with a hummed lullaby. The soft glow of the sun filled the room, creating a nice and calm atmosphere as the baby nestled in her arms, eagerly awaiting the warm embrace of the bottle.
Gabriella looked enchanted at Y/n, as she slowly stopped whining and moving, she felt comfortable and loved by her, just like she felt in her father's arms.

Finally the hot milk was ready and Y/n slowly poured it in the baby bottle. Gabriella, at the view of her bottle, she started moving a lot, excited to see her final source of nutrition. Y/n giggled amused by her behavior. She took the bottle and put it near the baby's mouth, as she started sucking. Gabriella closed her eyes as she started drinking her milk. Her tiny lips forming a perfect seal around the nipple. As she suckled, her eyes closed in contentment, her rhythmic gulps filling the room with a comforting sound. Y/N couldn't help but smile, cherishing this precious moment of nourishment and connection with the little one.

After she drank the whole bottle, Gabriella was pacefully relaxing in her nanny's arms. It looked like a bound moment, before Y/n knew her diaper had to be changed. Actually she "smelled it".
Y/n rushed to Gabriella's bedroom, placing her on the changing table.
First, she gathered all the necessary supplies. This included a clean diaper, baby wipes, a changing mat or blanket, and a plastic bag for disposing of the dirty diaper.
She layed Gabriella down gently on the changing or blanket, ensuring she was secure and comfortable. Next, she unfastened the tabs on the dirty diaper, being careful not to pull too hard. She  folded the dirty diaper inward, making sure to keep any mess contained. With the dirty diaper out of the way, she used baby wipes to gently clean the baby. She carefully wiped from front to back to prevent any potential infections. Once the area was clean, she lift Gabriella's legs and slide the clean diaper under their body. Then she brought the front of the diaper up between their legs and fasten the tabs or snaps securely. Lastly she disposed the dirty diaper in a sealed plastic bag, ready for proper disposal.
Gabriella moved a lot as she was getting changed but she didn't whine at all. And usually Y/n would reassure her <<Don't worry Gabri, we are almost done...>>.

After that, since the baby was not intending to sleep, Y/n decided to play with her a bit. They layed down on the paviment, as she showed in front of her a few of colorful toys of different materials. Touch is how babies learn about their environment along with visuals and sound. This "game" not only involves touching with hands but the whole body.
She gave the baby a variety of textured toys and other objects such as rattlers, sponges, textured rings, different types of fabrics, household items that she could find in the houze. The surfaces of some of these toys were spiky, smooth, rubbery, squishy and others even bumpy.
She played with Gabriella, making the baby's hands rub on the toys, feeling new emotions. In fact, she noticed how Gabriella liked playing with smooth and soft surfaces, instead of the hard and rough surfaces.
And as she played with her, Y/n started talking with her, about random things. She talked about the toys, of how they felt as Gabriella was listening to her and, meanwhile, playing. She was too little to talk, but she made sounds like cooing and gurgling. She begin to make some vowel sounds like "ah-ah" or "ooh-ooh" when she spoke. It looked like Gabriella could actually understand what she was saying and she tried to answer. Y/n smiled at her noises and she kept talking, like a real conversation.
<<This is so nice, isn't it?>> Y/n would ask to the baby, as she was playing with a soft blanket. Gabriella looked at her babysitter and said with a small but loud baby voice <<Ah-ah!>>. Y/n couldn't help but laugh and smile <<I told you, this game is so much fun.>>.
She thought that, in that way, the baby would get more confidence and start talking soon.

Soon, Gabriella yawned, touched her own ears and rubbed her nose. All symptoms that she was sleepy.
Then, Y/n layed Gabriella in her crib. The baby was not happy but she was too sleepy to complain. Y/n gave her soother, as she hummed a lullaby. Meanwhile, Gabriella holded her babysitter's point finger, wrapping all her little hand around it, as she slowly closed her eyes and enjoyed the lullaby, falling asleep.
