Their nannies see it all…After a dysfunctional childhood as one of four kids born to teenage parents and raised \"white trash\" in poor Rhode Island, Stephanie Kiser finds herself a 22-year-old, first-generation university graduate drowning in student loan debt. To stay afloat, she surrenders her career-track PR job for a position as a babysitter to New York City’s toddler elite.   The span of seven years takes Stephanie on a journey from working alongside a stay-at-home mum in her ten-million dollar Park Ave apartment, to a “no discipline” family, to the Kushners, world-class doctors and finally, to a position with a young couple – both high-powered lawyers – with three small kids.   Interwoven with Stephanie’s time in the glamorous world of the 1% (in the unglamorous role of domestic help) is the narrative of her own upbringing, the contrasts illuminating both the effects of privilege and the grit of self-sufficiency in the modern Western world.   With sharp insight, sensitivity and humour, Stephanie Kiser offers a glimpse into the lucrative but exhausting world of childminding for the elite – from emotional highs to crushing lows.\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"The Book Elephant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50733122650445,"sku":"9781728298160","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0829\/0808\/6605\/files\/9781728298160.jpg?v=1734623177","url":"https:\/\/thebookelephant.co.uk\/products\/9781728298160","provider":"The Book Elephant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
