The Nanny Diaries delves into the life of Annie Braddock, a recent college grad who mistakenly lands a job as a nanny for the wealthy and dysfunctional X family in Manhattan's Upper East Side. Tasked with the care of their neglected young son, Annie endures the absurd demands of Mrs. X and the indifference of Mr. X, all while managing her own personal growth and identity. In a narrative rich with humor and social commentary, the story peels back the layers of high society's childcare practices to reveal the complex realities of modern parenting and employment.
