"Morning." Skye smiles at the long haired man that wanders into the kitchen as she prepares some cereal for Nika.

"Um. Who are you?" He laughs nervously.

"Skye, Nika's new nanny. I take it you're Roy?"

"Cal got a new nanny already? Impressive. I am Roy." He smiles, "Morning, curly girly." He turns his attention to Nika at the table.

"Hi, Roy! My new friend, Skye." The little girl giggles.

"Morning all." Calum comes wandering into the kitchen, dressed and ready for the day.

"Hi, daddy!" Nika grins as Skye places a bowl of Cheerios in front of her.

"Roy, Skye. Skye, Roy." Calum glances up, motioning between the two adults.

"We covered that much on our own. Thanks though." Roy laughs.

"Did the last nanny, or you, have any hair supplies for these gorgeous and crazy curls of Nika's?" Skye asks, lifting a mane of curls resting around Nika's head.

"Ya. In the bathroom, the safety locked second drawer has the stuff Diane would use. Good luck though. I can't get her to sit still long enough to try and do anything with her hair. I don't know what Diane's trick was." Calum laughs.

"I'll figure something out." She chuckles before heading to find what supplies there may be.

"She seems on top of things for her first morning here." Roy comments to Calum once Skye's left the room.

"I like her. She was very open and forward about things last night when I met her. Nika seems to like her, and Crystal said she has a really good feeling about Skye. I think this could be exactly what the punk princess and I needed." Calum nods.

"Make sure you give her the run down though. I would hate to have something so seemingly good cause the slip up the media would eat up."

"I've discussed that with her. Plus she's signed a trial NDA and will sign a full one if this week keeps going as good as it is."

"Diane had everything in there. She must know how to help hair like this beauties." Skye returns suddenly, setting the bottle of water and a couple products on the table beside Nika.

"You know how to take care of hair like Nika's?" Roy cocks an eyebrow.

"I have an aunt and uncle who struggled with infertility, they have a couple of adopted children who are black. I am really close with them and learned how to help my cousin with her hair when we were younger." She shrugs, turning her focus to the curls.

"Well, I am impressed. Um, garage opener for your car," Calum sets the device on the edge of the counter, "you'll have the spot furthest to the left. Her car seat is sitting in the garage entry for you to put in your car. House key, gate code is 1203 if you need it. And this is the card you can use when or if you need to buy Nika anything. As the nanny, I do plan on relying on you to purchase new clothes and things if she is growing out of them. You have time to do that more so than I do, and you'll notice those things before I will."

"I can handle that. Shopping for little girls is a whole lot of fun."

"I also try to keep a detailed weekly plan on this calendar, just so you kind of have an idea when I might be home or not. If I'm home for her bedtime I like to put her down, but it's not always possible. Also if I'm going to be home for an extended amount of time on any day I like having her home to spend that time with me. Those slots are times you can plan things for you. I don't know if you're a nails girl or a lashes girl or whatever but usually there's one or two days a week I'll have a few hours off and that's time you don't have to be her constant companion." Skye glances up as he motions to a whiteboard on the side of the cabinet.
