Jenny starts her training as a nanny, but does she have what it takes - and will her family survive without her?
It is 1962 and 17-year-old Jenny is finally able to train for her dream job as a nanny. The residential training is tough - Matron takes no prisoners but Jenny bonds with her two roommates, Bernice and Rita, and loves helping the children.
If only her family life could be so happy - her brother, Maurice, is a wrong'un and seems to have some hold over her father, and Jenny has never got over the sudden disappearance of her mother.
Finally, Jenny gets her first nanny job, heading for the bright lights of London at the dawn of the Swinging Sixties. Suddenly she is thrust into the lifestyle of the rich at a household in the affluent West End, working for a family whose busy lifestyle means that their child is neglected.
Can Jenny heal their family - and her own?
