Susanaque avatar reviewed on + 422 more book reviews


When a young woman, going to NYU, takes a job as nanny. This is all about her 16-hour days caring for the son of wealthy New Yorkers. It became almost impossible mission to maintain the mental health of the 4-year old son, her own integrity and most of all her sense of humor. Over nine tense months, Mrs. X and Nanny preform the age old dance of decorum and power as they test the limits of modern day servitude.
