The Mathematics Tutor - NoCV

I work as a private Mathematics tutor for a family, and over time, my job description has quietly expanded beyond numbers and calculations. Because they do not have a nanny at the moment, there are days when I have to carry their three-year-old daughter while her older brother is busy solving the questions I gave him. It is not part of my contract, but somehow, it has become part of the routine. So on this particular day, while I was carrying her, as someone who occasionally ventures into football betting, I decided to open my phone and check the market. When I selected Manchester City to win against Sunderland. Immediately I tapped it, this little girl shouted a very loud “Nooooooo!” I paused. Now, it is not as if she understood what I was doing on my phone. She cannot even pronounce “Manchester,” let alone understand football odds. But anyone who has spent time in the football betting world knows that nothing should be taken lightly. Every little thing can be a sign. A slip of the hand, a network glitch, or in this case, a three-year-old shouting “No.” Because of that shout, I decided to ignore that particular match entirely. I removed it from my ticket and moved on. When match day came, Manchester City did not win. They drew the match 0–0. I was surprised. Yes, my ticket still ended up cutting because of other matches, but that was not the point. The point was that this child had warned me, and I listened. That was when it occurred to me that I may have stumbled on a rare gift. I genuinely feel I have found a potential way to win millions, and it is somehow connected to a three-year-old girl. Here is my dilemma. Her parents are seriously searching for a nanny. They have not found a suitable one yet, but eventually, they will. When that happens, this child will no longer be around me while I am teaching her brother Mathematics. She will be with the nanny, and my “system” will be disrupted. I am now considering telling her parents that I can combine the nanny role with my tutoring job. I can teach Mathematics and also look after their daughter at the same time. My question is this, is this a good idea, or am I about to complicate things for myself? Please advise me.
