Here's a list of nutty Nanny movies for your child!

Ever since magical Mary Poppins flew down on her umbrella to take care of the disconnected Banks family, nannies have carved out a place for themselves in the movies--and in the hearts of moviegoers. Sure, they've fed their young charges, dressed them and tucked them into bed but they've also shared their jokes, listened to their dreams and dried their tears.
