I went into this book expecting some funny stories about nannying for the ultra-wealthy, and while it absolutely delivered those, it also went much deeper.
The author contrasts her own childhood growing up in a chaotic household led by young, poor parents to the lives of her nanny charges, where every advantage in the world is available and taken for granted.
She explores complex feelings about being in a role that is both better paid and less prestigious than her friends鈥� jobs, watching an uneven division of labour between mothers and fathers in even the wealthiest households, and being treated as superior to other nannies because she鈥檚 white. This book was super fascinating and I would absolutely recommend it.

This is SUCH a bad title, I went in expecting little but was pleasantly surprised! Glad you liked it too. I have no recollections re: level of cursing, Emily.
The book is so much more than just stories from work! I agree
Random question鈥攁re there any pictures in the book? Or is it something I can listen to without missing out?

There is no pictures or charts, can confirm 馃槑
Emily, I listened to it and> read it and def don't feel like I would have missed out if I'd only done the audiobook :)
There is a little bit of cursing, but IIRC it wasn't more than 5 curse words in the whole book.
Definitely more than five curse words. Great review
