Hi Supernanny!
My name is Lauren Kurnit and I'm a casting associate for the
unscripted series "Nanny 911." We are currently looking to cast
families in the Tri-State area (NY/NJ/CT), and I was hoping you might
be able to help me spread the word to your fabulous group's members.
We are essentially looking for families who really want or need the
opportunity to spend three or four days working on bettering their
lives with our nanny specialist. Perhaps mom and dad don't know how to
deal with the public tantrums or wish that they could get through a
meal without a meltdown; our nanny specialist will work with them to
implement structure and create harmony in the home. As we all know,
child rearing doesn't come with a manual and sometimes a little bit of
outside help is all a family needs.
If you are interested in helping us spread the word, please e-mail me
and I will send you a flyer. Feel free to pass this information on to
any families (single or two-parent) that you think might be
interested. You can feel free to post it, email it to a mailing list
or hand it out whatever is easiest for you!
Anyone who is interested in finding out more about the show can feel
free to contact me via email (lauren.nanny911@...) or
212-404-1842. We also have a website with further information:
www.nanny911casting.wordpress.com.
Alternately, interested families can send an email with the following
information:
1. Name
2. Address and contact information
3. A brief description of the family members. They should be sure to
note the out of control kids and give us examples of bad behavior /why
they need a nanny specialist.
4. A list of the issues the family would like resolved (potty
training, tantrums, etc.)
5. Pictures of the family and the home
6. Whether you own or rent your home
Any family who makes it on the show receives $10,000. The length of
filming varies between three and four days.
I look forward to hearing from you and thanks for your anticipated help.
Best,
Lauren Kurnit

My husband's and my 3 year old niece is living with us now and
everytime we put her to bed she screams and hollors that she doesn't
want to go to bed. We started reading her books and read until she
fell asleep which sometimes went for 1/2 hour. Then we started just
backing off and finally dwindled it down to two books before bedtime.
Now she continues to scream and holler. Because she doesn't want to go
to bed. Her bedtime is 8:00 p.m. everynight. Her bio mother did not
have a routine bedtime so that is what we are trying to establish. I
know it takes time to get it to work, but we have had her for 3 weeks
and she still screams and hollors. What other suggestions do you have?
