NANNY 911 follows veteran Head Nanny Lilian and her team of “specialist” nannies – Deb, Stella and Yvonne – who are armed with the do’s and don’ts of child-rearing. These diverse and knowledgeable English nannies have specific areas of expertise ranging from proper etiquette to controlling temper tantrums. Each one is ready to help exhausted parents tackle the issues that are creating chaos in their home and whip their families into tip-top shape.

Nanny 911 follows a team of expert nannies as they come to the rescue of desperate parents to tackle the issues that are causing chaos in their homes. Armed with expert child-rearing checklists, the English 'über-nannies' take on all types of misbehaving, from appalling table manners to raging temper tantrums. All it takes is a call to Nanny Central, where Head Nanny Lillian reviews the case and assigns the nanny best suited for the challenge at hand. From a recently widowed mother of two, desperate to maintain discipline and order in her children while dealing with her personal grief, to a family with three sets of twins who fight for their parents’ attention by battling each other, no scenario is too chaotic for these experts to transform. Throughout her stay with the trouble-torn family, the nanny identifies the causes of turmoil and designs a plan to alleviate the parents' frustrations, turning temper tantrums into tears of joy.

While NANNY 911 features plenty of children, the main audience is parents. Children might enjoy watching the kids on TV getting into mischief and might learn a bit from the nanny's new rules, but the biggest message they'll encounter is that of being critical of another family's lifestyle -- a message encouraged by the nanny's barely disguised scorn.

The show is the first extension of the 911 brand off the Fox family of channels, which has already expanded Nanny 911 to include spin-offs like Marriage 911. Neighbours 911 is one of four new series that Court TV is developing to support its rebrand to TruTV.

Nanny 911 is loosely based on the British television programme Little Angels, in which American families with unmanageable children are reformed by ex-pat British nannies, including one who served for the British Royal Family. A similar show, Supernanny, is its arch-rival.
