Tasha Blaine, a former nanny herself, intimately follows the lives of three real-life New York nannies, and their complicated relationships with the children they care for and the parents who employ them. "Vivian" is a college-educated nanny seeking to make the profession more established and legitimate. "Kim" is a live-in nanny who is subjected, briefly, to the tyranny of an irrational and abusive employer. And "Claudia" is a Dominican nanny who struggles with her immigration status and poverty, even as she helps bring peace-of-mind to her harried employers. Together, the three portraits portray the unique difficulties--and rewards--of a position that often blurs the line between "job" and "family."

Publisher's Note
A former nanny offers insight into the unrealized crucial roles nannies provide for their employers, drawing on interviews with nannies throughout the country while focusing on the experiences of three women from very different walks of life whose personal goals became irrevocably intertwined with those of the families they aided. A first book.
