“WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER YOUR professional strengths?”
The question sent a shiver up Jules Moretti’s spine. No matter how many
job interviews she sat through, the fears of inadequacy—the surety that you
just weren’t what they were looking for—never went away. Not completely.
And she had to nail this interview. She really did. There were a lot fewer
options than she’d expected when she’d begun the search.
“Well,” the slender, dark-haired woman in front of her replied, “as my
résumé says, I’ve worked for two families in the past ten years—it really
gave me a chance to bond with their children. Before that, I worked in a day
care all through high school, where I got to know many of the kids over time.
So I’d have to say that my real strength is”—she gave a self-deprecating
laugh—“endurance.”
“Definitely seems useful. Essential, even.” Jules looked back down at her
list of questions. “Um, how would you handle a crying baby?”
The woman, whose name was Zahra, folded her hands in her lap and gave
a modest smile. “Well, since I’m starting my master’s in child psychology, I
keep up-to-date on all the latest studies and models—”
“You mean the latest trends?”
Jules turned a swift glare onto Vivian Carlisle, who sat next to her on the
love seat in the den opposite from their candidate. Even now, it took a bit of
gumption to glare at Vivian. Nobody just glared at the editor-in-chief of
Du Jour, the world’s most influential fashion magazine.
But nobody else was Vivian’s girlfriend either, much less a girlfriend
who’d been tearing her hair out about finding a nanny.
Vivian had better not screw this up. They’d conducted two other interviews
so far, and both of the applicants had taken jobs elsewhere. Finding a top-tier
nanny in Manhattan was no joke. Jules could never have imagined the
competition.
Zahra didn’t seem rattled by Vivian’s rude question, though. Instead, she
gave Vivian a serene smile. “I wouldn’t call them ‘trends’ so much as
‘evolutions of thought,’ but I certainly understand why that might seem
frustrating. It’s like, why can’t we just pick an approach and stick to it?”
“Exactly.”
That was the strongest display of enthusiasm from Vivian so far. Jules
dared to hope. Zahra was a perfect candidate, and she’d be a real get for
them.
Vivian was just over five months pregnant. They should have had
somebody locked down by now. The best nannies planned months ahead
when they were transitioning from their current jobs. Zahra’s current charge
was turning five in June, and his parents had decided it was time to hire a
Parisian au pair instead. Never mind that Zahra was fluent in French, Arabic,
and Spanish. She also had a minor in computer science and had played piano
in the Columbia University Orchestra.
