Nanny as she appears in her cookbook The character of Nanny Ogg is based on the Mother stereotype of the Triple Goddess myth. She's had 5 husbands and been married to three of them and has fifteen children who survived their early childhood (one was born some ten years after the death of her last husband). She has as well innumerable grandchildren and great-grandchildren, but that's incidental; what makes her the Mother is her mentality. People go to Granny Weatherwax for help when they have no choice, but they go to Nanny for advice all the time. Granny is respected, but Nanny is actually liked.
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Dee Rule, "Baby Nurse and Nanny to the Stars," has been helping families for over 18 years. She is now making the media circuit and offering free advice to parents who need answers on sleep routines.

It should ... be noted that Nanny really likes to eat and drink despite only having one remaining tooth (The sight of Nanny Ogg eating a pickled onion supposedly brings tears to the eyes). When she's drunk she has a tendency to sing very "special" songs, the most popular being "The Hedgehog Can Never Be Buggered At All" or simply "The Hedgehog Song" (never really unveiled by the author beyond a few lines, but many readers have written their own versions [1]). "The Hedgehog Song" was probably borrowed from a Harry "Haywire Mac" McClintok song recorded in 1950 by Cook Records and American Folkways (available on iTunes oddly enough). A close runner up for the most popular Nanny Ogg song is "A Wizard's Staff has a Knob on the End", a version of which has been written by Heather Wood, with music by Dave Greenslade[2].
Later, Nanny decided that the X-Men needed rescuing from the dangerous life they led, and she tracked them down to their base in Australia. She captured several members, sending them to attack the others. As the battle turned against her, she attempted to flee, and in the process captured Storm. Unfortunately, at this time, Havok unleashed a blast, sending Nanny's ship crashing. Somehow, though, Storm survived, mysteriously transformed into a child, presumably by Nanny. Nanny’s body was never found.

Nanny cams come in all shapes, sizes and price ranges. If your trust level with your caretaker is low, it can be hidden in various objects from smoke detectors to teddy bears. If you have a more open communication level, it can be a typical security camera. In either case, it is best to be honest with your care provider and inform them that they are being recorded. Most care providers are okay with being recorded by a nanny cam, but secrecy in video surveillance is generally not appreciated.
