Clive
Hello, Edwina, is it? Have a seat.
Edwina
Yes, Edwina. Thanks. I'm looking for a job as a nanny. I like working with children. I talked to you yesterday?
Clive
Oh, yes. Well, we covered most of the ground on the phone yesterday. I've got a form I need to complete for my records. So, you're Edwina Riley, and how should we contact you?
Edwina
By email I check it regularly.
Clive
What's the address?
Edwina
It's Edwina like my name then R-I, the first two letters of my surname. at worldnet dot com.
Clive
E-D-W-1-N-A-R-I at worldnet dot com?
Edwina
Yes
Clive
Good. And you're from Australia?
Edwina
Actually. I'm a New Zealander.
Clive
Oh, I'm sorry. I bet it's really irritating being told you're an Australian. Like Canadians being asked what part of the States they're from.
Edwina
I'm used to it. It happens to us all the time.
Clive
And now, you said on the phone that you could bring me some references? One from someone who's known you in a professional capacity and one personal one?
Edwina
Ah, yeah. Here's one fromJohn Keen, who was the manager at the play centre in Wellington where l worked for three years after I left school. It's got all contact details on.
Clive
Thank you. So this was your last employer?
Edwina
Yes, apart from a bit of waitressing recently, but that was just temporary. I'm sure John will answer any questions if you contact him.
Clive
We do run checks, yes. And a personal reference?
Edwina
Ah, you can contact the friend of my mother's I'm staying with here in London: Eileen Dorsini She's a professor.
Edwina
She's known me all my life because she used to be our neighbour back home when she was a primary school teacher there. Now she's working here at the Institute of Education.
Clive
Oh good!
Edwina
I've got her contact details here for you.
Clive
Thanks. I think I have some jobs to suit you. Oh, do you have any practical qualifications, by the way? Life-saving, music, anything?
Edwina
Um, I've got an up-to-date first aid certificate. I did a course when I was working.
Clive
That's good. First aid. Anything else?
<vEdwina> Well, I've got a driving licence; as I told you on the phone. But that's not special, you said, almost everyone needs that really. I've got a sailing qualification, it's a certificate of competence.
Clive
So you're a yachtswoman?
Edwina
I love sailing.
<vClive> Well, I'll note you have a certificate. Hmm
Clive
Now, as I mentioned yesterday, there are three families and the job description is much the same for all of them, as I explained. There are a few other things you need to know. Anyway, the first family's here in London.
Edwina
Yes, I did make a few notes. London, er, that's the Bentons? With two children?
Edwina
Oh, we!!, I know what to do if someone has an allergic reaction.
Clive
Good, but what they mainly want is someone with an interest in sport, as that's the kind of family they are.
Edwina
Oh that's OK. I'll enjoy that.
Clive
Good. Now the next people are in the country, near Oxford.
Edwina
Oh yeah, the Grangers?
Clive
So, they have twin boys of five, who are a bit of a handful, I suspect, but it's a lovely place, quite a grand house, and the family is extremely welcoming. They keep horses. Do you ride?
Edwina
I did when I was younger. I like animals generally.
Clive
Well, 'animal-lover' was their special request, so you'd be fine there. The last family ...
Edwina
Yes?
Clive
I don't think I told you they live in Scotland.
Edwina
Really? What's their name?
Clive
Campbell.
Edwina
Oh, yes. And they have four girls under ten?
Clive
That's it. They have a lovely city flat, and they own a small island
Edwina
Wow!
Clive
Actually, you might get on with them very well. They particularly wanted someone who would be prepared to cook when they go camping on the island.
Edwina
Camping would really suit me and I'm used to taking my turn doing the food. But it is a long way from London.
Clive
Mm. Yeah, well, you can think about it. Um, then as soon as I've checked your references, we can arrange for you to talk to all of the families.
Edwina
Right. Thanks very much!
Clive
Thank you! I'll email you as soon as i can.
