Cure it with Movies: Becoming a Nanny

We all had, at some point in our life, a baby sitter. Whether we liked it or not and no matter for how long we beg our parents, saying that we were "old enough to take care of ourselves and be left home alone" we had this person coming into our home and lives.

My personal esperience was super positive and, since there were 3 children in my family, we had a few nannies and all of them were amazing people. 
So if you're about to become a nanny, maybe just as a summertime job or longer, you maybe would want to watch this list of movies (and a TV series) as inspiration.

Enjoy

The Nanny (1993-1999)

All the '90ies kids must have seen at least one episode of probabily Tv's most famous nanny: Fran Fine! Always happy, optimistic and ready to joke, she took care of the children of a British widower. Almost fun as Fran were these secondary characters: Niles the butler, my personal favourite, and Fran's two aunts, Sylvia Fine and Yetta Rosenberg, hilarious!

So what do you think, do have any other movie to add to the list?
