The gist of "The Nanny" depicts that Fran gets thrown away by her old, awkward boyfriend and then attains the job of being a nanny to a widow Maxwell to take care of his three children. They both have got some affection or attraction that makes both of them to fall in love. Max has a business associate CC Babcock and the butler Niles that are always wisecracking back and forth. The kids are trouble makers and very withdrawn because they have got no one to teach them to grow up. So Fran takes up the job and fills the gap in the hearts and their lives. Every episode is full of laughs and a good moral.
