National Bestseller ""Stephanie Kiser's emotionally about nannying for New York's elite is a thoughtful meditation on the way social class separates our realities, even amid the universality of motherhood and maturation."" Blythe Grossberg, author of I Left My Homework in the Hamptons What are the lives of America's richest families really like Their nannies see it all When Stephanie Kiser moves to New York City after college to pursue a career in writing, she quickly learns that her entry-level salary won't cover the high cost of living never mind her crushing student loan debt. But there is one in-demand job that pays more than enough to allow Stephanie to stay in the city nannying for the 1%. Desperate to escape the poverty of her own childhood, Stephanie falls into a job that hijacks her life for the next seven years a glorified personal assistant to toddlers on Manhattan's Upper East Side. At first, nannying seems like the perfect solution the high pay covers Stephanie's bills, and she's surprised by how attached she becomes to the kids she cares for, even as she gasps over Prada baby onesies and preschools that cost more than her college tuition. But the grueling twelve-hour days leave her little time to see her friends, date, or pursue any creative projects that might lead to a more prestigious career.
