Parents of America fear not – the Nanny 911 team is on its way back. Head Nanny Lillian returns to the boisterous homes of America, for a fourth series of the top rated show. Accompanying her are three of the most headstrong childcare specialists in Britain, all of whom possess an immense amount of parenting wisdom.

Nanny Lillian has spent the past 25 years ironing out frazzled parents and their unruly children. Having worked for the British upper classes, she believes nannies should be mentors to their charges.

Nanny Deb is not far behind Lillian, with an impressive 22 years of experience under her belt. Deb believes inconsistency to be the key to misfit children.

Nanny Stella is a veteran of structure, although her softer side professes the importance of love. She uses her distinct sense of humour to diffuse situations, but is clear that she is not out to up her popularity.

Finally, Nanny Yvonne implores respect between children and their parents.

This week it is the turn of Nanny Deb to tame the tots of America. Dave and Angelia Brogdon have three year old triplets whose constant whining and winging must stop.

The triplets – Dave, Beth and Joe – hit, kick and bite anybody in their path. They are so averse to sharing that they have a tantrum if someone even touches their toys and the sibling rivalry does not stop there. When it comes to receiving their Mum’s attention, the triplets’ behaviour just gets worse.

Mum Angelia works a 40-hour week in addition to being a full-time mum. Constantly tired, she finds it easier to give into her children’s’ demands rather than discipline them. Consequently, the children do not listen to or respect their Mum. Meanwhile, Dad Dave is able to put the kids to bed in minutes; however it takes Mum hours and often reduces her to tears.

Nanny Deb teaches Mum how to discipline her kids and Deb teaches the children how to use and choose their words respectfully. After a chat with Nanny Deb, Dad and Mum join forces at bed time and Dad becomes much more supportive of Mum’s hard efforts. Most importantly, Nanny Deb shows Mum how she favours one of the triplets, but once Mum spends more time with her other children, everyone’s mood improves.
