What do you do when you are a nanny to an obscenely rich Park Avenue matron named X? Mrs. X refuses to do anything for herself, including cook, clean, or take care of her 4-year-old son. You are expected to do everything, including maintaining the mental health of said 4-year-old, even while Mrs. X decides that it is time for a divorce. You'll have to bear up under the strain w/ wit & panache, even as the boundaries between your working life &your so-called private life blur, merge, & disappear. The symbiotic relationship between parent & nanny ensures that your life will be spent anticipating & fulfilling the needs of your charge & your employer.

This arrived today in the movie bookbox. Thanks so much!I read this book a while back and released it to another bookcrosser. I have worked as a preschool teacher and can certainly relate to some of the things that are said about the kids and the parents in this book! Another preschool teacher friend of mine has recently asked if I have a copy of this book and now I can lend her this copy, Thanks.
