How to Get on Nanny 911

On Fox’s hit reality TV show, Nanny 911, Head Nanny Lilian, accompanied by her butler Fraser, oversees her team of English “specialists” to assist hard-working, frustrated parents in their quest for a peaceful household. She then assigns who she believes to be the right nanny for the job.

Nanny Deb, a resourceful and lively 20-year nanny veteran, relies on her sense of humor to cope with complex situations. Her motto is, “‘I want’ doesn’t get.” Nanny Stella, the most outspoken one of the group, employs a straightforward, no-nonsense approach. She believes in lots of love mixed with lots of structure. Extremely spoiled and unruly children are Nanny Yvonne’s specialties. She combines her cheerful disposition with her English charisma to “kill ’em with kindness” while disciplining.

You’ve seen it before: unruly kids, with tongues so sharp they could cut steel (like a Ginsu knife!) Kids that misbehave in public, kids that play the sympathy game, kids that manipulate like politicians in Washington. If these kids are yours, and you’re at your wits end, perhaps it’s time to call in the pros. Help is just a nanny away.
