by: Justine Walsh, Kim Nicholson

Book Description
Two hip child-care professionals, classically trained in the Mary Poppins English nanny tradition, share insider secrets about raising happy and well-behaved children

She's more British than cricket, crumpets, Big Ben, or the Beatles, more admired than the royal family. She's the English nanny, and when it comes to child-raising, there's nothing quite like her. Now, in Nanny Wisdom, two hip young nannies combine their classical English training with the day-to-day knowledge they've gained as child-care professionals to offer expert advice on raising healthy, happy, and well-behaved children from birth through the preschool years.
