My husband pushed for a young nanny — he didn’t realize I had cameras set up

My life resembles a fairytale. I have a loving husband and a sweet daughter who recently turned one. Working from home, I had plenty of time to spend with Lucy, but recently, my boss offered me to take a business trip and I was happy to accept. The problem was that we needed to hire a nanny.

My husband, Kevin, has always been very supportive of my career, so when the opportunity to take that business trip arose, he encouraged me to go. I hesitated at first because saying yes meant I needed to be away from home for a whole month.

Eventually, Kevin and I decided to hire a nanny to help him with Lucy while I was away so we started going through a number of nanny applications.

After setting up interviews, we invited some of the candidates over because we wanted to see how Lucy would react around them, and eventually, the choice came down to two candidates, 48-year-old experienced woman named Amanda, and 22-year-old medical student Sarah.

I wanted to hire Amanda because of her years of experience as a nanny, but Lucy didn’t react to her as positively as she did with Sarah.

Kevin insisted we hire Sarah, but I was hesitant. She was too young and too attractive, but since Kevin insisted, I eventually agreed.

However, still doubtful about our choice, I decided to install cameras around the house the night before my business trip.

I checked the surveillance footage every now and then, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

One night, however, after working hard all day, I decided to check on Lucy before I went to sleep.

“What the hell is going on?” I yelled. I saw Lucy lying on the floor, Sarah next to her, and my husband lying on the bed and crying incontrolably.

I was quick to call Kevin on the phone, but he didn’t answer.

Around half-an-hour later, Kevin called me, still crying. “Hun, Lucy had an episode and I froze. I was unable to help her because I had a panic attack. Had it not been for Sarah we could have lost Lucy,” he said, sobbing.

As I tried to process his words, I asked about Lucy and he assured me she was now fine.

He explained that Lucy didn’t feel good the whole day so he asked Sarah to spend the night with her, and she agreed.

I booked tickets home and returned two days later.

When I took Lucy in my embrace, I was glad I listened to my husband when he insisted on Sarah being our girl’s babysitter.

I apologized for ever doubting his choice.

Realizing how much Sarah cared for Lucy, we decided to offer her a permanent job as a nanny, and she was happy to accept it.

This way, we knew Lucy was in safe hands and Kevin and I had more time for ourselves.
