Nanny Book

Barbara Kline has been matching high-powered couples with ultra-competent nannies for more than two decades, and her tales run from the poignant to the utterly absurd. Read about the unsung heroines whose special commitment makes their work far more than a job. Nannies see babies take their first steps and hear their first words while Mom and Dad are halfway around the world trying to save it. Meet these wise, wonderful (and occasionally odd) surrogate mothers who keep Washington from spinning off its axis of global power. It’s “West Wing” crossed with “Supernanny.”
