001 BabySitter | August Alsina

August
"This better be the last one."

"Anaya needs the best when we're away, just look at the girl's resume."

I sighed heavy, I had been sitting through baby sitter interviews for damn there two hours. A nigga was ready to go, I had to take Angela to get a bathing suit for my birthday bash this upcoming weekend.

"Oh, no."
Angela opened then shut the door in someone's face. I quickly got up to open the door.

"Are the interviews over?"
A lady who was obviously here for the interviews stood at the door with a half smile. I eyed Angela meanly then let her in.

"Nah, you're the last one we'll be seeing."

She walked in then sat on the sofa across from us. I nudged Angela to start asking the questions.

"What experience do you have?"

"I've babysat my own family since I was 16, at 18 I began working for the Curry's. I've only recently began to transition jobs leaving me with about 6 years experience."

"You're a little young, we were looking for someone older."

"Being young works to my advantage with younger children, especially since you have a daughter. I hope that she would see me as more of a friend to enable trust so she'll listen to me without any push back. An older woman might come off as more of a authority figure than a babysitter."

Angela rolled her eyes making the lady half smile again then look at me. She didn't look nervous she was just trying to stay professional.

"What is your name?"

"Sasha Rose."

"Your real name."

"Sasha Rose."

"Do you have any children of your own?"

"No."

"What makes you want to work for us?"

"I feel that this is the next step in my childcare car-"

"You don't look like you need the job. You have a diamond chain around your neck."

Sasha squinted her eyes together at Angela then looked at me.
"Thank you for the opportunity but I think I'll take my talents elsewhere."

"Can you swim?"
I cut in before Angela could be rude to this lady again

"Yes, why?"

"You're hired. Tomorrow at 8am is when you begin, pay is once a week, shifts end at about 7 pm usually but if one of us gets home early you can leave."
Angela had her mouth slightly open in shock at me just hiring Sasha. Anaya was Angela's child but I was paying for everything so I had a say so too. Plus if she wasn't being so rude to the girl I wouldn't have had to cut in.

-
Once Sasha left Angela was on my ass.
"You will fire her tomorrow."

"Says who? You did this to yourself, fuck were you being so rude for? That insecure shit you got going on is not cute, get a grip."

"Insecure? About what?"

"I don't know. You slammed the door in the girl face then tried to belittle her in the interview. You were the one going on and on about how good her resume was, then all of a sudden you hate her?"

She stormed off somewhere into the house.
I let her take the lead initially because Anaya is her biological daughter but I take care of and love Anaya like she's my own and at that time Angela wasn't making clear decisions because of Sasha's looks.
