1982 год. Двадцатилетняя Нина Стиббе переезжает из Лестера в Лондон и устраивается няней в одну очень необычную семью.

В них содержится описание ее новой «домашней» жизни, неожиданных гостей и кошки, которую всем нравилось ненавидеть • In 1982 Nina Stibbe, a 20-year-old from Leicester, moved to London to work as a nanny for a very particular family.
