Baby? Sitter.
Prologue
Sometimes life changes without asking for permission
One day you're worrying about assignments and exams
The next day you're worrying about rent groceries and whether your younger sister will be able to stay in school
That was Weiverly Tan Garcia's reality
At twenty years old she was trying to balance college while taking care of her eighteen year old sister Willow after their mother's passing
Money became harder to earn than she had ever imagined
Every application she sent was filled with hope
Every rejection made her question if she could keep going
Then something unexpected happened
Three companies accepted her application on the same day
She smiled for the first time in weeks
But she could only choose one
Knowing she had spent most of her life taking care of Willow she quietly accepted the babysitting job
She packed her bag took a deep breath and prepared herself for her first day
To her it was just another job

The sound of an alarm filled the small apartment
Weiverly slowly reached for her phone and turned it off
She sat up stretched her arms and made her bed before walking to the kitchen
After a few minutes the smell of breakfast spread through the apartment
Willow walked out of her room still looking sleepy
Weiverly
Good morning, Did you sleep well
Willow
You woke up early again
Weiverly
I have an interview today
Willow
You're definitely getting the job
Weiverly smiled while placing breakfast on the table
The sisters ate together while talking about school and college
After eating Weiverly washed the dishes then went back to her room
She changed into a white blouse black slacks and a pair of simple shoes
Weiverly
Yeah I'll be back later
Weiverly
Take care while I'm gone
Willow nodded before locking the door after her sister left
Outside the morning air felt cool as Weiverly walked toward the bus stop with a folded piece of paper in her hand
She looked at the address once then continued walking
Chapter 2 - The meeting
Weiverly stepped off the bus, then checked the address written on the folded paper
She looked around before stopping in front of a large black gate
Taking a deep breath, she pressed the doorbell
A few moments later, the gate slowly opened
A guard approached her with a polite smile
Guard
Good morning, Miss Are you Weiverly Tan Garcia?
Guard
Mrs Dela Cruz is expecting you Please, come in
She followed the stone pathway while quietly admiring the large garden
The house was bigger than anything she had ever seen
Before she could knock, the front door opened
A woman with a warm smile welcomed her inside
Miss Dela Cruz
You must be Weiverly
Weiverly
Yes, ma'am Good morning
Miss Dela Cruz
Good morning Please, come in
Weiverly politely entered the house and followed Mrs Dela Cruz into the living room
Miss Dela Cruz
Have a seat
Mrs Dela Cruz sat across from her, placing a folder on the coffee table
Miss Dela Cruz
I read your application
Miss Dela Cruz
You're currently a college student, and you've been taking care of your younger sister for years
Miss Dela Cruz
That's wonderful
Miss Dela Cruz
I only have one question for you
Miss Dela Cruz
Are you patient?
Miss Dela Cruz
Mrs Dela Cruz smiled
Miss Dela Cruz
That's exactly what I'm looking for
Footsteps echoed from the staircase
Two girls walked into the living room
One looked calm but completely uninterested, her eyes fixed on her phone
The other smiled brightly as she walked beside her
Miss Dela Cruz
I'd like you to meet my daughters
Miss Dela Cruz
This is Jade
Miss Dela Cruz
And this is Jera
Weiverly smiled at the younger girl
Weiverly
Nice to meet you, Jera
Weiverly nodded to herself
Since Jera was younger, she assumed she would be the one she'd look after
Mrs Dela Cruz noticed the look on Weiverly's face and smiled
Miss Dela Cruz
I think there's been a misunderstanding
Weiverly
I'm sorry, ma'am?
Miss Dela Cruz
You thought you'd be babysitting Jera, didn't you?
Jera let out a small laugh
Miss Dela Cruz
No, dear Jera doesn't need a babysitter
Weiverly slowly looked at Jade
Miss Dela Cruz
You'll be taking care of Jade
Weiverly blinked twice, unsure if she had heard correctly
Jade finally looked up from her phone
Weiverly
You're twenty two
Weiverly
Then why do you need a babysitter?
Jade sighed and rolled her eyes
Weiverly
Mrs Dela Cruz smiled helplessly
Miss Dela Cruz
Jade has a stable job, earns her own money, and is very capable
Miss Dela Cruz
But she skips meals, forgets important appointments, leaves the house without telling anyone, and comes home whenever she wants
Jera
She also loses her keys almost every week
Jade
Thanks for exposing me
Jera
I'm only telling the truth
Jade clicked her tongue before looking away
Miss Dela Cruz
I don't need someone to raise Jade
Miss Dela Cruz
I need someone to make sure she takes care of herself
Miss Dela Cruz
Mrs Dela Cruz looked at Weiverly with a gentle smile
Miss Dela Cruz
So, Miss Garcia, are you still willing to accept the job?
