I actually had the honor of having Nanny Deb come "help" our family last September. Obviously, I have never met Jo on Supernanny, but I have to say that it is unfortunate that anyone would call Nanny Deb icy. She is the most wonderful, sensitive and special woman I ever met. Since the show she has continually checked in with us and has been available for me if I needed advice. She cried when she said goodbye and was so loving, supportive and appreciative of my daughter's spunk that it helped to remind me how fortunate I am to have a child with such a sharp personality. Nanny Deb is very loving and icy is the furthest adjective that would come to mind.

Nanny 911 is the greatest guide for parents struggling to keep their family together and kids who are very bratty and spoiled or just punks. Although I am no punk, nor in desperate need of help, this show is still great.The nanny has to clean up whatever family is in a mess within just a week! Can they do it? Well, it works every time (when it doesn't, Marriage 911 comes in because usually the parents have the largest struggles.)This show provides humor, drama, tension, real life, and a happy ending- everything a good Reality-TV show needs. However, it does seem strange that the family improves slowly, and at the very end the family drastically makes a turn and becomes super. And the very end is always very touching. The nanny usually breaks down over the kids, wishing them the best and having to leave them.But she always leaves a little gift- or sometimes big ones! If your family needs some advice, or you want to find a good hour of entertainment without any garbage in it, dial up Nanny 911!

Having a few days off from college recently and as I was flicking through the channels to see what was on, I came across this rubbish on ITV, who screened several episodes recently as part of their new morning line up to replace the chat show Trisha.Nanny 911 is about baby-sitters going to look after children who seem to suffer behaviour problems.Nanny 911 doesn't make pleasant viewing and most of the time, all you get is children shouting and screaming. A rather noisy programme.How you can call this entertainment I will never know. A load of rubbish.

I'm sure NANNY 911 isn't everyone's cup of tea. I myself had heard friends rave about the show a good few weeks before actually checking it out after my sister INSISTED I watch to learn how to get my little child to sleep in her own bed. From the first episode I watched I was HOOKED. This show is Must See for anyone with small children, a lot of rambunctious kids or even a snotty spouse who isn't pulling their weight around the house. The advice is priceless...and free! An hour of your week well spent. The premise of the show is some family that has a lot on it's plate and cant deal calls the show. There are three nannys on hand and going bu what your problems are they decide which nanny is best suited to offer advice. They send her to your house and she observes the way the family functions...or rather...doesn't function. Then she sits everyone down and tells them what the problem is. Mostly she never blames one person ..because as we all know...being a family is like being in a team and everyone has to work together to make things run smoothly. So the nanny points out the problems she can see with each member of the family and day by day they work on improving the situation. There are rewards and minor punishments and stuff like that to let the family know when they have done right or wrong. Usually by the end of the show the family has made major improvements or at least minor improvements. Then for their troubles of showing their crazy dysfunctional family on TV they get a prize such as a trip. Watching this show has been a real learning experience for me. I'm not newly wed or even a new mom....I've been married 7 years and have a 6 year old. But the advice I've learned from watching NANNY 911 dis-proves the old adage "You cant teach an old dog new tricks". You can! I feel my patience and communication with my husband and daughter has improved by putting what I learned from the show to use. NANNY 911 is a winner!
