i got no money and i got no kids, can they help me get some?
Tumblr media
Hey, uh, Mateo here. They had me type this up because Miss Kirra and Mister Sasha were comforting Miss Ling, and Vincent is still lying on the floor (you'll see later) so I'm writing this response red-faced and flustered. Needless to say, Miss Ling was completely overwhelmed with the fact that the daycare was gaining popularity the wrong way. Nothing wrong, of course! Tìa Zyanya did tell us that bad publicity is still publicity but is this... uh... bad? I honestly don't know. ʘ⁠‿⁠ʘ Vincent begged to differ but...
Tumblr media
Oh well. He had it coming.

"dependable" crew of babysitters, more like DATEABLE. i am down bad for them.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We're a bunch of hot shits here, that's not surprising at all!
Tumblr media
Date... able??? We're babysitters, not participants in a dating show. Are we????
Tumblr media
Someone wants to be babied, it seems. (Very fatherless of them.)
Tumblr media
I'm sorry, I-uh... We are single, I think??? But not ready to mingle...??? We're babysitters...
Tumblr media
(too flustered)
(Mateo is assigned for social media rep such as these, but since you flustered him so much, Vincent has to answer for us. -Ling Ying Wei)
Monsieur, Madame, whatever you are and whatever you identify with, I believe you need to get off your phone and touch some grass.
(Vincent, play nice.)
Pardonnez-moi, Mademoiselle Ling. What I meant to say is that we take care of children and not those who act like children.
(VINCENT.)
We're not available.
But thank you for thinking we're... what do you call this, "dateable". You have good taste. Oh and also if you DO want to, text me when you're free. Here's my number: [redacted for our employee's safety]. J'adorerais sortir un jour. Call me. ;)
(ooc: @domiiiq312 had the hardest time drawing the two daddies—i mean, the two nice, freakishly tall gentlemen named sasha and vincent in the panel so if you guys can just show some love for it, it would be appreciated. she almost cried. gone sexual. police were called. ALSO GOOGLE TRANSLATED FRENCH.)

Congratulations Vincent! You went so far from your loving money to find a sense of life, only to get yourself in a loop where you don't belong.
How does it feel to not depend on your parents money anymore? How does it feel to have a job not suited for you?
How do you feel, doing what you swore you hated the most just a few years ago? -M. A.
...
VINCENT NO—
STOP YOU'RE CLEAN FOR 3 MONTHS DONT DO IT
Mille merde, Sasha, you're crushing me!
DON'T SMOKE YOU'RE TRYING TO GET OFF OF IT ARENT YOU?!
What difference does it make, I'M WEARING NICOTINE PATCHES!
Tumblr media
This was certainly... unexpected. I mean, I'm pretty sure that that information isn't supposed to be accessible to the public and that's between me and my parents... did my parents send you? To laugh at me? To see how pitiful I am? Bien, to hell with it. I love my job.
(He meant that sarcastically.)

does the daycare plan on hiring more babysitters? like Iselin?
No holiday updates from any of the sitters, the kids are on vacation so while we enjoy the nice, chill weather and the gifts we've gotten (if you have gotten any!) we also need to inform you that, well, we did hire a new babysitter but he's a part-timer, like me! He was actually with us since the start of December, and he's my college mate too. How cool was that?!
But yeah anyway, this is how I introduced them to the team! (Or most of it, anyway. It was more of a recollection than a proper recreation.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Don't ask how I know that they were watching us. I just do.) HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONEE!! Sadly we weren't able to catch up with what we scheduled cuz we're also busy with our lives and celebrations with our family for this season XD (we kinda rushed this one instead (?) as a gift for everyone ) Anyways~ lovelots and also enjoy your holiday break! - domi :D

The Halloween Update! (since we Mateo forgot to update the blog.) Part 1
mateo is in charge of social media posting.
Tumblr media
Right, halloween! So yeah, I'm sorry, I forgot... I did ask for Miss Ling's permission and to be fair, she forgot to respond to me too. So anyway, we gathered around and asked the parents if they were fine letting us post about their kids and their costumes and that also took a while, too... You can guess how that went.
Tumblr media
So we also got a lot of questions about our favorite little wonders and, well, we took the opportunity to use our Halloween party to get some shots for it, as well!
Since it might be such a huge post, we decided that we'll post them one by one this week! I have my favorites too, but you guys have to be patient. So here's our first answer for today coming from the very foundation of Little Wonders—Miss Ling Ying Wei!

If they can take care of kids, they can take care of me :)) Sova pls let me climb on you. I'm a kid i swear
— Neon's third mom
Tumblr media
Um, I guess sure??? The kids do like climbing on me—
That's not a damn kid.
????? I beg your pardon?
That is not a kid, Sasha, no kids under the age of 16 would make a Tumblr account NOR would they type 'Pls let me climb on you I'm a kid I swear' OR have their parents type it out for them. It's bait. Do NOT entertain them. Trust me, I would know—if you know what I mean.
No, I don't know what you mean nor do I have time for your weird speed dating, uh, stuff. Besides, didn't they say they're Tala's third mother—third mother? Tala, baby, how many mothers do you have?
Me hwave two?
So no third mother then?

The Halloween Update! (since we Mateo Vincent??? forgot to update the blog.) Part 4
Ah, right. Vincent attended the party (but it was quite obvious that he didn't want to be there). That Frenchie thinks he's—wait, what are you—!
Ah, there we go. I cannot let Mateo badmouth me again. Non, non, such a bad subordinate he is, really. Alors, if we have to answer then at least let me do it myself. (He threw me off of the computer! Que penjedo!)
I appreciated Sasha's offer to make a costume pour moi but alas, I already have it with me. It's a pirate costume from a while back and it's quite the surprise that it still fits me! I suppose I am still in pristine condition if I am still able to wear clothing from a decade ago. Also, s'il te plaít, ne m'appelle pas babygirl.
Tumblr media
As for my favorite Little Wonder? Well, I will let you in a little secret, oui? I... really do not like kids. Surprising, non? I do not have experience taking care of them—I am still learning up until now. There was a point where I gave up and told Madame Ling if there were other positions I could work on instead of taking care of kids and I was in administration for a while but I do not know what it is... Maybe it was the time that Sasha was doing little puppet shows for the children and seeing how Jamie's eyes sparkled and giving Novikov ideas—something in me told me that maybe it's a good time to show off to this kid and make him like me. Jamie is a very passionate kid, I will admit, and even if I cannot keep up with le petit garçon's energy, I think... mm, oui. I believe I admire him. He has a good future ahead of him, and I try to entertain his creative thoughts every once in a while.
Klara est un incroyable prodige. But despite that, I do believe that the other sitters and I believe that she should have a proper childhood. I am incredibly thankful for her father who lets her be a child rather than pushing her to excel out of her own will. I definitely do not want her to end up like me, and I am very glad that she didn't have to fight for his approval. Quel enfant chanceux. She has a good head on her shoulders, and I am very honored to be the one she seeks out for when she has questions that needed logical answering. The fact that she trusts me the most in that regard is oddly... heartwarming. C'est très sympa, vraiment.
And of course, Ryo. Like Klara, the kid also has a good head on his shoulders. The only thing is that he doesn't join the others in playing, and it seems that he likes himself enough to only offer his company to his own. I couldn't help but feel for him. There's just... something about him that I couldn't quite place. But he allows me to be in his company—or, better yet, he wants my company. He doesn't tell me much, he only answers to me sarcastically when I ask questions (which is rather surprising for a kid his age! Trés impressionant!) But overall, he's truly nice. I do find it odd that he has not taken his adoptive father's surname, but that's not for me to pry on. There are things in life that aren't meant to be out in the open. C'est la vie!
...
Ah... apologies, I did not intend to get too sentimental, but I suppose that it's quite a nice thought to get lost in. Thank you for asking me this, merci beaucoup.
And Tala? Oh, dear. Our beloved Lady of Lightning does not like moi. They did ask me to include her here for some reason.
Tumblr media
Oh, I am also getting the feeling that the parents do not like me.

The Halloween Update! (since we Mateo forgot to update the blog.) Part 3
Our beloved Mister Sasha Novikov decided to go as a cute polar bear with the onesie that he made himself. When I asked him about how he bothered to make an elaborate costume for Miss Ling and Miss Kirra but only a onesie for him, he said:
"Oh, well... I don't really like wearing too many layers of clothes. I think there's just too much work into costumes and cosplay—but I certainly wouldn't mind making other people's costumes if they requested me to (as you can see with Ying Wei's and Kirra's). I like being comfortable in front of the children too so being a bear and being in a nice onesie would at least make me less intimidating for the kids, да? I wouldn't want to scare them away even if it's Halloween."
Tumblr media
And it seemed to work because the kids absolutely loved his costume that he made himself. Especially Tayane, since she's dressed up as a werewolf (and I believe she had convinced her father to go as Little Red Riding Hood for the party), which made her all the more excited to see Mister Sasha with his cute outfit.
When I asked him about his favorite little wonders, he was quite straightforward:
"I don't think I favor a Little Wonder more than the others, I actually like all of them equally. But if I have to choose then Tayane and Tala since they're very lively children and Klara since she's well-behaved. It is the truth, however, for me to say that I love all of them. I do hope that they feel the same about me, I like taking care of them and the thought that I have been involved in their childhood warms my heart. That's all I really wanted."

Can I bring sweets or non-alcoholic beverages for the staff? They seem a bit stressed/overwhelmed with everything (especially Miss Ling) and I just want to give them something to brighten their day.

The Halloween Update! (since we Mateo forgot to update the blog.) Part 2
So obviously there's more! While Miss Ling went as Nurse Joy from Pokémon (I convinced her), I suggested that Miss Kirra should go as Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn!
Of course, we don't have much of a budget so both Miss Ling's and Miss Kirra's costumes were provided for by Sasha! (You wouldn't think that he's a seamster but he is!) And as you can see, Miss Kirra had her fun flaunting her costume with her favorite little wonders (she is currently hooked with the game and is visiting me on the weekends since they don't have a console).
Tumblr media
As to why she likes them, this is what she told me:
"They are really fahkin' nice kids! Ryo might be quite rebellious 'n invisible sometimes but he's my fahkin' cute little fellah helpin' me out in our wee little garden. For the bloody absent kid that he is, he surely likes bein' in me garden for quite a lot 'n even asked me for a book about gardenin' so that he could learn more, that cheeky little bugger.
"Tala's a bonza, energetic kid too! Sassy little queen that she is, admittedly I kinda like seein' her get all sassy with the other sitters includin' me. Of course, the bloody kid's still respectful 'n ya could tell that she's well-loved by her mothers.
"'n of course, who could forget Tayane, my favorite little megaphone? Like Tala, she's quite the bloody bundle of energy 'n creativichoo, there's no limit for this kid except for when Ying Wei 'n Sasha reprimanded her gently. I admire her young innocence, imagination, 'n liveliness. How I envy the bloody little mouse, I could only get older!"

Kirra, interesting. You never left a trace of your doings on the web yet you still managed to find miss Ling, an old and bonded friendship funded on the internet.

Mateo, sweet and caring youth. What is your place here? What do you chase after besides money, at that little daycare?
Do you really care for the kids, or are you just too drawn by your past to let them go? - M. A.
H-huh?!
My... place here? I only get paid minimum wage here as an intern. Even if I did apply here for the pay, I don't think I went here for other reason? I... uh... I did go here to make use of my Red Cross trainings for childcare and babysitting---

Am I a bad person? What's going on? Why am I targeted too? Huh?

How come exactly all of them got hired or found the job? (Like for example how did Sasha, who is literally from the russian tundra, found a babysitter job to be fitting, and how did all of them got to be in the exact same workplace???)
Heya! Iris here, in charge of most of the writing (the post text and even some of the in-character responses for the ask submissions) and lore alongside Domi who was in charge of the beautiful, crispy, amazing art you guys are being served with our blog! Now yes, there is lore, there is a story to be told about all of these and we actually planned to do a weekly post about the backstory of how the daycare came to be and how all of the sitters ended up in Little Wonders but both Domi and I are college students and alongside with the submissions, we got dumped so none of the lore tidbits we initially planned are done.
I do, however, have written very juicy notes about that so we'll give you a little preview of the sitter's backstories.
Please take note that this is written within the convenience that all of the agents are living in the same country (or in this case, are immigrants and/or have been born in said undisclosed country) and that the tale of their residence in that country isn't within the scope of this AU. After all, it is quite realistic for other ethnicities to move in and live in other countries for their own reasons.
So, let's begin! (I apologize in advance for the poor verb tenses [i made sure to beta read it, of course] and the google translated spanish. I should really get a hold of my past duolingo lessons 😔)
Sage - Ling Ying Wei
So she is the one that started it all. Little Wonders was quite the old daycare center and as an immigrant in a foreign country, it was quite hard to land a job because of racism and other horrible human things that weren't really inherently helpful. She landed the job at Little Wonders who was owned by an unknown individual who wanted to build a daycare. But the economical inflation caused prices to skyrocket, and the expenses in the daycare had grown demanding—Ying Wei ended up being alone after the owner and everyone else left due to the lack of budget and the loss of their clients because it has gotten unaffordable. (In short, you know those games like Lily's Garden? Yeah, she's Lily and the daycare is her garden.) Ying Wei felt lost, so she decided to vent it out to a friend and this friend decided to help out.
Skye - Kirra Foster
Kirra was the friend to the rescue. Having met in a forum online years (if not decades) ago, Ying Wei and Kirra are tight-knit and are like two peas in a pod that were separated from each other and had been joined again. She is, to put it simply, one of those dedicated online friends that you have. (Except that she actually managed to meet Ying Wei a couple of times and unlike most of us.)
In any case, Kirra heard that Ying Wei was suffering and told her everything. She flew to the country to console her, talk, and eventually offered to help her restore the daycare in its former glory for the reason that it held a special place in her friend's heart. She thought that it was quite absurd—why would Ying Wei, a normal employee, be left with this bankrupt daycare when it's supposed to be the owner's responsibility to rebuild it again? But nonetheless, she stayed and told Ying Wei that she'll only stick around once the repairs and the recuperation is done but like her internet bestie, she grew fond and excited for the daycare's great comeback.
Tumblr media
We'll get through this, Ying Wei, you and I. You're the bloody rightful owner of this daycare, 'n we'll make it prosper again, yeah? [redacted] isn't going to get a single penny from when you finally make this work, hear me?
Kirra, I legally do not own the daycare nor do I hold the title. They're still going to get a cent.
Eh, fuck that! I'm telling ya, Ying, if they do come back, we're going to demand full ownership of this place, yeah? Cheer up, mate.
Sova - Sasha Novikov
He was a man destined for greatness—until some tragedy happened that had completely scraped his dream and his career down the drain. Immigrating to a different country, Sasha worked as a salaryman with a discouraged outlook in life. Despite being discouraged, he worked hard and diligently and earned promotions and raises to accompany his loyalty and services. But sometimes life grows bleaker and Sasha thought that his journey as a salaryman was now coming to a close. He decided that he wanted to do something meaningful and thought of jobs that would make him feel fulfilled—finding the hiring poster for Little Wonders flying right to his face (literally). He thought he wouldn't be accepted considering his experiences as a sitter was lacking, but he did. He immediately proved himself to Ying Wei and Kirra and became a formidable member of Little Wonders.
Tumblr media
Wh-what the—? A hiring poster for a daycare?
Chamber - Vincent Fabron
Being a Frenchman born in a life of nobility and privilege; Vincent found himself enjoying life in another country after moving in with his parents after graduating with latin honors in Mechanical Engineering in France. It's not like his parents told him to get a job anyway and there's a vast new world to explore; so explore he did. Unfortunately, Vincent got carried away and ended up spending more and more until he was reprimanded by parents who didn't exactly care but felt like they should hold him off anyway.
He was forced to get a job. And getting a job wasn't exactly easy even with connections. If it were in France, he would've landed a job easy but this is a different country. He was forced to grovel. 5 months had passed, and he still wasn't able to find a job. In a moment of desperation, he found the job listing as a babysitter and for some miraculous reason, he was accepted. Maybe it was his strong demeanor, maybe it's his suave and silver tongue, but Vincent who only knew how to take care of dogs ended up as pretty problematic babysitter who tolerates children more than caring for them. Due to the lack of manpower, Ying Wei couldn't bring herself to fire him. He did and still does try to do his job properly and has resorted into doing administrative work more than actual babysitting for the daycare. (But with the presence of new competition, he finds himself working with the kids once more as he now sees his job being compromised.)
Tumblr media
Madame Ling, I finally caught them like you requested.
VINCENT WHY ARE YOU HOLDING THOSE KIDS BY THEIR SHIRTS?! ARE YOU INSANE?!
Gekko - Mateo Armendáriz de la Fuente
Wanting to create money for himself and get a working experience from all those seminars his mother (practically) forced him to attend, young and bright Mateo applied for the job recently as a part-timer for the daycare under the recommendation of his family friend and considered aunt, Zyanya Mondragon (who has connections with Miss Ling but that will be elaborated in the future, hopefully?)
As a bubbly and cheerful young man with hopes and dreams (which the other sitters envy), he drew the attention of the children with extreme ease and was regarded as the rising rookie within the staff as he easily befriended the children and played with them. While Vincent saw and has since labelled the college student as a threat (just a little bitter), Sasha and Ying Wei found him as a great addition to the team and had considered hiring him as a full-time babysitter once he graduated college. Mateo is currently majoring in Architecture.
Tumblr media
Tienes esto, pequeño. You underwent training, you even got a certification for babysitting specifically. You said you want to earn a little more money so you don't burden your mother, don't you?
L-lo sé, lo sé... I'm just worried that the kids I'll take care of won't like me... you know. They're kinda brutal, mi reina.
Ay, you're a nice kid, Mateo. Cree más en ti mismo, ¿por favor? You're going to do just fine.
Okay, okay, okay.
____________________________
In any case, these can still change overtime until it can be finalized. In the meantime, we both just want to have fun for now and enjoy writing how the sitters react to people wanting to date them. Would there be a dating sim revolving the mommies and daddies—I mean, the sitters in the future? No. JK. Unless? 🤨
We're glad that you're also having fun with this silly little AU that we have! (Hopefully you guys stick around us because we seriously have so much in store. We haven't even introduced the parents yet, but make your guesses!!) All the best and thank you so much for 100 followers here on Tumblr!!
We also created a Twitter/X Account too, yes this is an actual link and not a sentence I wanted to underline for emphasis (because we both thought that Domi might want to separate some non-AU art from her account, but we both love the reach it gives her). Please give us a follow! We love you!
-Iris and Domi
