242. The Old-Fashioned Nanny. Yvonne Finnerty

What happened to Nanny Yvonne?  Today I catch up with Nanny Yvonne from the hit reality show Nanny911.  What was Hollywood like?  How did she get cast for the television show?  Was the experience what she thought it’d be?  Nanny Yvonne can assess situations quickly, communicate without talking, and learned that from her biggest fan, her brother!   Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space For Controversy.    Born and educated in London, England, Nanny Yvonne has been in childcare for over 30 years! Live in, live out nanny.  She ran her own daycare, trained nannies, mentored nannies, educated nannies and is still a nanny. In 2001 she became an Admissions Director for a private elementary school from its inception.   Jump to 2005, unbeknownst to her, Yvonne’s husband put her name forwardfor open casting call for a nanny to replace an existing nanny on a TV show. She was selected to be one of the stars of the prime time hit show Nanny911.  The show was syndicated in over 30 countries and had millions of viewers. For seven years she wrote a parenting column for a leading Boston newspaper as well as appearing live on the local Fox affiliate and NECN answering parenting questions from viewers.  Her favorite was being made fun of on South Park, Mad magazine and a cameo in The Game Plan with Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson!  She is still in the childcare profession and takes her job very seriously.  She learnt from the best, her brother David.
