  <description><![CDATA[Nanny, mahasiswa NYU sekaligus nanny extraodinaire, menerima pekerjaan mengasuh Grayer, 4 tahun, anak tunggal keluarga X yang kaya raya. Dalam waktu singkat ia mempelajari seni membesarkan anak dan menyenangkan istri gaya Park Avenue yang tidak bekerja, tidak memasak, dan tidak membesarkan anak. Mrs. X pada mulanya tampak cukup berakal sehat, namun dengan segera menunjukkan wajah aslinya sebagai pusaran ketegangan berbalut Prada, yang menganggap anak tak lebih dari sekadar simbol status. Mr. X juga sama suaranya, terlalu sibuk mengurusi bisnis merger dan kekasih gelap.<br/><br/>Nan terperangkap dalam pekerjaan berupah rendah dan jam kerja tak menentu, dalam permainan kekuasaan dan dusta yang mewarnai kehidupan pahit keluarga X. Namun ia tak sanggup meninggalkan pekerjaan itu karena terlanjur jatuh sayang pada Grayer.<br/><br/>Ketika pernikahan pasangan X berada di ujug tanduk, Nanny harus berupaya menjaga kewarasaan Grayer dan akal sehatnya sendiri di antara tugas menyiapkan makanan berbahasa asing, kursus bahasa Prancis, dan pelajaran Latin. ]]></description>

    <![CDATA[<em>The Nanny Diaries</em> is an absolutely addictive peek into the utterly weird world of child rearing in the upper reaches of Manhattan's social strata. Co-written by two former nannies, Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus, the novel follows the adventures of the aptly named Nan as she negotiates the Byzantine byways of working for Mrs. X, a Park Avenue mommy. Nan's 4-year-old charge, the hilariously named Grayer (his pals include Josephina, Christabelle, Brandford, and Darwin) is a genuinely good sort of child. He can't help it if his mom has scheduled him for every activity known to the Upper East Side, including ice skating, French lessons, and a Mommy and Me group largely attended by nannies. What makes the book so impossible to  put down is the suspense of finding out what the unbelievably inconsiderate Mrs. X will demand of Nan next. One pictures the two authors having the last hearty laugh on their former employers. ]]>

A lot like &quot;Devil Wears Prada,&quot; it is just a laundry list of incidents while working for the shallow, designer-clad perfectionist.

In the interest of full disclosure, I have a bit of a grudge against any book packaged as chick-lit, the literary equivalent of low-cal fast food.

Co-written by two former nannies, Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus, the novel follows the adventures of the aptly named Nan as she negotiates the Byzantine byways of working for Mrs. X, a Park Avenue mommy. Nan's 4-year-old charge, the hilariously named Grayer (his pals include Josephina, Christabelle, Brandford, and Darwin) is a genuinely good sort of child. He can't help it if his mom has scheduled him for every activity known to the Upper East Side, including ice skating, French lessons, and a Mommy and Me group largely attended by nannies. What makes the book so impossible to  put down is the suspense of finding out what the unbelievably inconsiderate Mrs. X will demand of Nan next. One pictures the two authors having the last hearty laugh on their former employers. ]]>

    <![CDATA[392 pp.  <p>&quot;Two former Manhattan nannies blow the lid off of the private child-care industry with a hilarious debut that pulls no punches as it recounts the travails of Nan, a hip Mary Poppins looking for a job to fit around her classes at NYU. Mrs. X seems reasonable enough when she hires Nan to look after her son, Grayer, but she quickly reveals herself to be a monster and a bundle of neuroses&#133;&quot; Publishers Weekly  <p>Description in Spanish:  <p>Si eres entusiasta, alegre, te gusta trabajar en turnos de dieciséis horas, que te vomiten encima (literal y figuradamente), que te paguen poco y sin regularidad, y, sobre todo, si no te tomas las cosas muy a pecho y te apetece que te traten como si fueras moho en el fondo de un bolso de Hermès? ¿Por qué no trabajas de niñera?  <p>Mientras estudia y se costea su microscópico apartamento, Nanny empieza a trabajar cuidando al hijo de los riquísimos Señores X. ¡No sabe lo que le espera! Pronto aprenderá a hacer todo lo necesario para que la Señora X --que no trabaja ni dentro ni fuera de casa-- tenga un buen día. Y que Grayer, el niño, coma sólo alimentos orgánicos y se mantenga cuerdo en medio de esa loca familia. Y a acostumbrarse a que el Señor X la trate como si fuera invisible. Y, más importante aún, a conservar el sentido del humor, cuidar de su gato George y atraer la atención del estupendo vecino del sexto.  <p>Las aventuras de Nanny nos asoman a los pisos más lujosos de Nueva York con mucho humor y frescura. Una novela explosiva que llega precedida de un éxito espectacular en Estados Unidos, donde alcanzó el número uno en todas las listas de best-sellers, al igual que en Gran Bretaña.</p></p></p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<em>The Nanny Diaries</em> is an absolutely addictive peek into the utterly weird world of child rearing in the upper reaches of Manhattan's social strata. Co-written by two former nannies, Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus, the novel follows the adventures of the aptly named Nan as she negotiates the Byzantine byways of working for Mrs. X, a Park Avenue mommy. Nan's 4-year-old charge, the hilariously named Grayer (his pals include Josephina, Christabelle, Brandford, and Darwin) is a genuinely good sort of child. He can't help it if his mom has scheduled him for every activity known to the Upper East Side, including ice skating, French lessons, and a Mommy and Me group largely attended by nannies. What makes the book so impossible to  put down is the suspense of finding out what the unbelievably inconsiderate Mrs. X will demand of Nan next. One pictures the two authors having the last hearty laugh on their former employers. ]]>

    <![CDATA[<em>The Nanny Diaries</em> is an absolutely addictive peek into the utterly weird world of child rearing in the upper reaches of Manhattan's social strata. Co-written by two former nannies, Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus, the novel follows the adventures of the aptly named Nan as she negotiates the Byzantine byways of working for Mrs. X, a Park Avenue mommy. Nan's 4-year-old charge, the hilariously named Grayer (his pals include Josephina, Christabelle, Brandford, and Darwin) is a genuinely good sort of child. He can't help it if his mom has scheduled him for every activity known to the Upper East Side, including ice skating, French lessons, and a Mommy and Me group largely attended by nannies. What makes the book so impossible to  put down is the suspense of finding out what the unbelievably inconsiderate Mrs. X will demand of Nan next. One pictures the two authors having the last hearty laugh on their former employers. ]]>
