Nanny Surveillance

Oh, that is beautiful.

- Perfect. - That's the crown.

That is the crown. Show Mommy.

- Show her. - Mommy, look!

Is that me?

- Duh. - Yeah, duh, mommy.

Well, it's beautiful.

You wanna hang it on the fridge?

- Uh-huh. - Yeah?

I am almost done with this, and it is my first day at the...

I didn't make the rules.

Fortune favors the bold.

I knew you were gonna throw scissors.

I just love you that much.

Are you okay?

Hey. Hey, sugar, yes. Here we go.

Oh, big happy family.

You wanna say hi to Amy?

- Yeah? Come here. - She's crying.

Yeah. She was.

Come on. Give her a kiss on the forehead.

Dad, wait, wait. Can I put her pacifier in?

- Yeah. - Uh-huh.

Yeah, right there.

Okay.

Great going. You got it.

- Is this right? - Yes. Good.

Give her a little kiss on the forehead.

Come on, you gotta put your pants.

Come on. Come on.

Come on.

Good job. Good job.

Here. Eat your food, all right?

Right.

Mommy, where's Rachel?

Now that is an excellent question.

Did you not see the text?

She's running late. Said she had a family thing.

Oh, that will explain why this morning's been such a disaster.

I'm glad you're text buddies with our young, beautiful nanny.

Don't worry, I don't send her

nearly as many winky faces I send you, hon.

Keep eating.

Oh, we forgot to open the gate again for the pool guys. Again.

That is the third week in a row.

Well, at least no one can see it back there.

It's green and slimy!

I know, sweetie. We'll remember next week.

Yeah.

Are you done?

Yes.

- Are you ready? - Yes.

Where's your backpack?

- I left it in Kid Cave. - Huh!

We better go get it. We don't wanna be late.

Hm.

I'm still waiting for my invitation to see

the famous Kid's Cave by the way.

Well, You know the rules. No adults allowed.

So why does mommy get a free pass?

Well, obviously, it's because we have

such a strong mother-daughter relationship.

Okay, that's it.

Plus, she needed someone to decorate it.

- Oh, no. - What's wrong?

Eric just texted asking if I saw an email he sent.

Oh, God, our Wi-Fi is down again!

My meeting this morning got moved up.

Do you have time to take Beth?

I can't. I'm sorry, I'm showing a house

on the opposite side of town, so, I'm sorry.

As soon as Rachel gets here, I gotta leave.

Mm-hm.

Take out the garbage can before the trash guy gets here?

I would love nothing more.

Hm.

Beth? Honey, time to go!

Beth?

Beth?

Coming.

All right. Come on, honey.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Raise your arm. Put this on. Pew! One arm. Ready?

Pow! Two arms.

This is for you.

Keys. And you don't need it, but good luck. All right?

- You're gonna do great. - Thank you.

- You're welcome. - See you tonight.

Yes.

And have Rachel fix the Wi-Fi.

- I can do it. - Hm.

I know you can but she's a millennial,

and she'll do it so much faster.

I can do it. Bye.

Okay.

Need some help?

You have no idea.

- Can you strap in Beth? - I'd love to.

Thank you.

Huh!

Hi there, angel!

Rachel!

Oh, you're so cute.

Let me take this off

so I can strap you in.

Ooh. Rough morning, huh?

Oh, just the world falling apart.

I had a presentation that got rescheduled

and now I'm late. Not a good first impression.

Oh, if you'd like, I can take Beth to preschool.

- Yay! - Yay.

Wish you could, but Scott has to show a house

he needs you to watch Amy.

Oh. Of course.

In that case, I'll see you later today, okay?

Bye.

Thanks, Rachel!

Bye!

- How may I help you? - Hi.

Mara Franklin, here to see Eric Messer.

It's okay, Clair. I can, I can take her.

The whole team's gathered.

I had to stall.

This is not good.

Eric, I am so sorry.

I don't know what's happening with our internet,

I didn't see the email.

Look, it's, it's LA. Okay?

Ten minutes behind is, it's on time. It's fine.

- Thank you. - Don't thank me.

Help me convince the rest of the team that they want you.

Shouldn't be too hard.

Yeah?

- Come on. - Great.

Lead the way.

So, try not to think of me as someone who's interested

in changing what you are.

I love InHabit.

I read it every month.

And if you came over to my house,

you would probably see that.

The last thing you need is to change your content.

But what I can help you with

is making that content more accessible.

Now, if you bring me on to handle your social media,

I promise to help your marketing team

reach an entirely new audience,

and help them see what everyone in this room already knows...

that InHabitis the best home and lifestyle publication

on the market. Period.

Congratulations.

You earned it.

I hope this office suits your needs?

Eric, it's perfect.

Thank you.

Seriously. InHabitis my first really big client.

I couldn't have landed it without you.

Oh, please. All I did was open the door.

You did the rest.

Well, thank you for taking a chance on me.

Well, to taking chances.

I'll drink to that.

Mm. I was just thinking we should go out and have dinner

and talk strategy, you know?

Celebrate properly.

Yeah, you know, I would love to, but...

Oh, yeah. No, no, I get it.

Two kids. Last-minute plans don't really work.

- Mm. - Yeah.

Maybe tomorrow?

- I'll hold you to it. - Okay.

Babe, I swear I took it out when I left. Okay?

I don't know how the truck missed it.

It's fine. I believe you.

Okay, I admit it.

I am a garbage person

who doesn't take out the garbage can

in a timely manner.

It's not about the garbage.

Okay, so what's it about?

I don't know. Everything.

The yard, preschool, that stupid coffee pot that never works.

The thousand tiny little things that go wrong every day.

Then throw in a baby, a four-year-old...

I get it.

It's a lot but we're getting by.

I had the biggest client meeting of my career today,

and had I been any later...

it would have all fallen apart.

And luckily, Eric was there to smooth things over.

Yeah. Thank God for Eric.

Even with Rachel helping,

it's like we're always treading water.

If we keep trying to hold everything together like this,

we're gonna go crazy.

I just feel like something needs to change.

You're right.

Things are crazy.

But, honey, we knew what we were getting into

when we adopted Beth.
