Who wouldn't want this job? Struggling to graduate from NYU and afford her microscopic studio apartment, Nanny takes a position caring for 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 Xes' 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 perform the age-old dance of decorum and power as they test the limits of modern-day servitude.

The Nanny Diaries deftly skewers the manner in which America's overprivileged raise les petites overprivileged - as if grooming them for a Best in Show competition. Written by two former nannies, this alternately comic and poignant satire punctures the glamour of Manhattan's upper class.

Reseñas de la Crítica

  • Romantic Times Award Winner - Best Chick Lit Novel, 2002

"The Nanny Diaries is diabolically funny...vastly entertaining...perfectly pitched social satire." (New York Times)

What a hoot. Light, funny, fast, quick. Simplistic but engaging character development, teensy but amusing plot, a chick-flick audio escape that is clever and funny.

Somehow this inside look into Manhattan's elite fell a little flat. I attribute it to Julia Robert's narration: to me her voice verges on a monotone. Her characters all sounded the same and I longed for some good New York/Manhattan accents to bring the book alive.

A little flat

This story covers paints an ugly picture of the New York elite, who would rather spend time trying on Prada shoes than loving and raising their children. The heroine works hard at building a little boy's self worth while putting herself through graduate school.

The story tends to be funny and fast moving. It is hard not to fall in love with both Nanny and Grover.

However, it was difficult for me to get beyond underlying premise of parents not caring about their children -- is just too sad to imagine. Clearly a very one side view of the world written from the Nanny's perspective.

Julia Roberts does a nice job reading it. Although at times I did find it difficult to keep up with her fast pace.

Worth a listen for any parent

I started listening to this book on C.D back in college and cried when the dics started to skip from my consistent listening; so when I started audible this was the first book I bought. Julia's way of reading the book has always kept me laughing, and has kept me sane. If I admit how many times I've listened to this, you might call me crazy.

I've loved this book for 15 years now.

Julia Roberts was a perfect choice to read this entertaining book. The story is in many ways heartbreaking but is told with wit and humor. I highly recommend it.

I thought this audiobook was excellent. I actually rewound after the book was over to re-listen to the last few chapters. I thought Julia Robert's comic timing was spot on.
Very funny, interesting, and enjoyable book.

Great story! Really very true to life... Sad but true. I loved the whole experience. Lite reading, but great.

Worth a Listen

If you are looking for the next great american novel, don't listen to this title, but if you are on the train or stuck in traffic or need to laugh then this is a good listen. Julia Roberts does a terrific job giving the sincere deadpan delivery of a disenchanted New York nanny and the ultra bitchiness of a rich "I can't work because I have a child, but don't want to take care of my child" Mrs. X. Don't take this too serious people, it's not a great american novel, it's just a good read.

It's not Hemmingway, but it's good

Thoroughly enjoyable!! Highly recommend this one! Although if you have kids, it can be a tear-jerker!

Fabulous!!!

I, unfortunately, nannied for friends of the X family. See this book as a marvelous expose of this world of parenting by proxy.

I cannot wait for Julia Roberts to narrate more audio books. Please!

It's all true, sadly enough.
