What the blurb on the back says...

"Nan has a tricky relationship with her employer, Mrs X. A non-existent relationship with Mr. X. But she loves the little boy to pieces.

In between looking after four-year-old Grayer and running a thousand errands for Mrs. X, his rich, uptight, Manhattanite mother, Nan is trying to have a life. There's college, shopping, her friends, her cat George. And the gorgeous Harvard boy from the sixth floor...

But the X family's dramas keep intruding - visits from Mr. X's predatory mistress, catastrophic family outings and, as a final straw, the case of the marriage destroying panties. As Divorce looms, Nan realises how attached she's become to the Xs' underloved son - an how nannying has become more than just a job.

Funny, touching and true-to-life, The Nanny Diaries is a modern-day Mary Poppins story - with attitude."

What I thought of it...

I absolutely loved this book. I just could not put it down. It is absorbing, interesting and exciting. The characters are very vivid and well described, as are the situations that Nan finds herself in. I found myself feeling for Nan and the things she had to do. Mrs. X is a bitch!
