She's not the smarter tool in the shop. But every since she was little; she loved kids. Lexie and kids have always got along, no matter the age. But all the babysitting jobs didn't pay very well. No matter what she did, there was never enough money. Until she got a call from a rich family; the Masullo Household.

Evan is known for doing illegal things. Vandalism, stealing, name anything. His parents had enough of buying him out of jail, and grounded him. Now he would've gotten away of sneaking out if it wasn't for the family paying a certain girl extra money to make sure he stayed in.
