The Nanny Diaries

The Nanny Diaries is a 2007 film starring Scarlett Johansson, Laura Linney, Chris Evans, and Nicholas Art. It is based on the novel of the same name by Emma McLaughlin. The film was directed by Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini and produced by Richard N. Gladstein.

Annie Braddock (Scarlett Johansson) is a young woman who just graduated college and is trying to figure out who she really is and what she wants to do next in life. While in Central Park, Braddock pushes a boy (Nicholas Art) out of the way of an oncoming segway. His mother (Laura Linney) thanks her and mistakenly thinks that Braddock is a nanny and tells her that she is looking for a new one. Braddock takes the job, thinking that it's going to be easy, despite not having any experience at all.
