Magical Nanny: Difference between revisions

 

While Magical Nannies are often threatened with the sack, they are not easy to get rid of. When their employment ends, it will be on their own terms. Typically they will decide that [[But Now I Must Go|their work here is done]] or they will stay and marry the head of the household. (Note that they ''never'' become the [[Wicked Stepmother]].) The latter is particularly common in the [[Romance Novel]]; indeed, the heroine may become the stepmother first and still fulfill the role of Magical Nanny.

 

== [[Fanfic]] ==

* Emily in ''[[The Secret Life of the Backyard Kids]]'' is a literal version.

* ''[[Mrs. Doubtfire]]'': A [[Rare Male Example]] is Mrs. Doubtfire (and the book ''Madam Doubtfire'') where a divorced dad [[Wholesome Crossdresser|crossdresses]] so he can be hired as a nanny and spend more time with his kids. As you do.

* ''[[Nanny McPhee]]'': Similar to Mary Poppins.

* ''Bob The Butler'': Bob; sorta. Bob's actually totally incompetent as a butler (he's actually not even a real butler, he's never had training). The only thing he manages to do is to get the kids to like him and bring their mother closer to them. They end up getting married of course.

* ''[[Adventures in Babysitting]]'' could perhaps be considered a one-night-only version of this, as some life lessons were learned and it's a miracle neither the babysitter nor her charges got themselves killed.

* Subverted in ''[[Bedknobs and Broomsticks]]'', as its Magical Nanny is coerced into becoming one when some [[Blitz Evacuees]] are dropped off on her doorstep.

** By the end, the kids and the witch will stay together, while the con man goes off to war.

 

 

'''Kazran''': No.

'''Doctor''': [[Dissimile|Good, 'cause that comparison would have been rubbish]]. }}
