Who would want this job? Struggling to graduate from NYU and afford her microscopic studio apartment, Nanny takes a position caring ro the only son of the wealthy X family.  She rapidly learns the insane amount of juggling involved to ensure that a Park Avenue wife,  who doesn't work, cook, clean or raise her own child, has a smooth day.
When the X's marriage begins to disintegrate, Nanny ends up involved way beyond the bounds of human decency or good taste. Her tenure with the X family becomes a nearly impossible mission to maintain  the mental health of their four year old, her own integrity, and, most important, her sense of humor.  Over nine tense months, Mrs. X and Nanny preform the age-old dance of decorum and power as they test the limits of modern-day servitude.
