  1. Mary Poppins (Created by P.L. Travers):

    • Mary Poppins is perhaps one of the most iconic nannies in literature. She appears in a series of books by P.L.

  3. Miss Honey (From "Matilda" by Roald Dahl):

    • Miss Honey is a kind and nurturing schoolteacher who takes a special interest in the gifted young girl Matilda in Roald Dahl's beloved novel "Matilda." While not a traditional nanny, she plays a maternal role in Matilda's life.

User questions & answers

Question: Will these work in my bedroom doorway
Answer: Yes, you can turn them vertical instead of horizontal. Please see the product pictures as we've shown a picture of it being used.
Question: Does this work for wall to banister? mostly for keeping pets from going upstairs
Answer: Yes, it does work for wall to banister. I actually use it for my pets as well. I have yet to find a place where the wall nanny doesn't hold up.
Question: Can these be screwed to the wall? Looking for something to secure for the top of stairs with no stair rails for my 3 year old
Answer: Yes, these can be secured to your wall with a screw. Use a #10 flat top 2 inch screw. There is a hole in it that allows for that. However, baby gate manufactures say to not use the gates at the top of stairs for safety reasons such as a kid or baby pushing on it and they fall down the stairs. Please read your gate manual for all safety precautions.
Question: Will these work on bottom spindles? My other ones won't allow the gate to be close to the ground. Thanks
Answer: Yes, that is why they are designed with a flat top and bottom. They are able to lie flush to the ground where most products have to raise the gate 1 inch off the ground in order to fit. Thanks.

The Nanny Diaries (Widescreen Edition)

Based on 1 reviews Check latest price

Product description

The Nanny Diaries" tells the story of the emotional and often humorous journey of Annie Braddock (Johansson), a young woman from a working-class neighborhood in New Jersey, struggling to understand her place in the world. Fresh out of college, she gets tremendous pressure from her nurse mother to find a respectable position in the business world although Annie would prefer to trade in her blackberry for an anthropologist's field diary. Through a serendipitous meeting, Annie ends up in the elite and ritualistic culture of Manhattan's Upper East Side -- as remote from Annie's suburban New Jersey upbringing as life in an Amazon tribal village. Choosing to duck out of real life, Annie accepts the position as a nanny for a wealthy family, referred to as simply "the X's." She quickly learns that life is not very rosy on the other side of the tax bracket, as she must cater to the every whim of Mrs. X (Linney) and her precocious son Grayer, while attempting to avoid the formidable Mr. X (Giamatti). Life becomes even more complicated when Annie falls for a gorgeous Park Avenue Hottie (Evans), and she's forced to explore her identity as never before.
