You'll Never Nanny in This Town Again by Suzanne Hansen

    You'll Never Nanny in This Town Again by Suzanne Hansen is a book about Suzanne's nanny adventures in Hollywood. Suzanne nanny for some big Hollywood celebrities. She writes about the behind the scene in Hollywood. She talks about what life is really like for some big actors. It may look like they drive their own child to school and play at the park but most likely there is a whole fleet of staff doing the majority of work.

 

    I think most people know that a lot of hands on moms in Hollywood probably aren't all that hands on as say a normal mom. Celebrities have a nanny, chefs, housekeepers, gardeners, and assistants. I enjoyed that Suzanne shared a behind the scene look into the Hollywood lifestyle. In the end of the book she is a nanny for an actor in a show I used to love. Well I still love it but it's not on air anymore, anyways, she talked about being on set and what the cast did. It was cool to learn more about a show I grew up watching.

 

    Besides the inside look behind closed doors of Hollywood big shots I thought the book was just ok. If you are writing a book about a job you weren't appreciated for then obviously the author is going to complain. One family that she was a nanny for did not treat her like part of the family and she was extremely upset about it. I can understand why she would feel that way since she is the main caregiver for the children but at the same time I understand the family's side as well. She is a staff member, someone they are paying to take care of their child not to be part of the family. I understand both sides but sometime I just wanted to tell young Suzanne that things could be far worse for her.
