Mit scharfem Witz und scharfer Beobachtung bietet sie einen satirischen Blick hinter die glitzernde Fassade der High Society.

    Wanted: One young woman to take care of four-year-old boy. Must be cheerful, enthusiastic and selfless--bordering on masochistic. Must relish sixteen-hour shifts with a deliberately nap-deprived preschooler. Must love getting thrown up on, literally and figuratively, by everyone in his family. Must enjoy the delicious anticipation of ridiculously erratic pay. Mostly, must love being treated like fungus found growing out of employers Hermès bag. Those who take it personally need not apply. Who wouldn't want this job? Struggling to graduate from NYU and afford her microscopic studio apartment, Nanny takes a position caring for the only son of the wealthy X family. She rapidly learns the insane amount of juggling involved to ensure that a Park Avenue wife who doesn't work, cook, clean, or raise her own child has a smooth day. When the X's' marriage begins to disintegrate, Nanny ends up involved way beyond the bounds of human decency or good taste. Her tenure with the X family becomes a nearly impossible mission to maintain the mental health of their four-year-old, her own integrity and, most importantly, her sense of humor. Over nine tense months, Mrs. X and Nanny perform the age-old dance of decorum and power as they test the limits of modern-day servitude. Written by two former nannies, The Nanny Diaries deftly punctures the glamour of Manhattan's upper class.

  2. 1

    Nanny jobbt schon seit Jahren als Kindermädchen, um sich ihr Studium in New York zu finanzieren. Doch dass sie sich von den Eltern des vierjährigen Grayer anheuern lässt, bereut sie schon bald zutiefst: Sie muss den Alltag der so reichen wie neurotischen Mutter organisieren, die Spitzenunterwäsche der Geliebten des Vaters diskret entsorgen und natürlich auf den Jungen aufpassen. Ohne den attraktiven Harvard-Studenten, in den sich Nanny Hals über Kopf verliebt, würde sie in diesem Alptraum den Verstand verlieren.
