WEBVTT #Elemental Media Engine(TM) 2.17.1.0

NARRATOR: They're every
parent's worst nightmare.

Enough already.

I told you to
stop complaining.

NARRATOR: Kids
completely out of control

and taking over the household.

[crying, shouting]

These families have reached
the end of their rope.

CJ, get off.

NARRATOR: They're in
desperate need of help.

Ow.

NARRATOR: They only have
one alternative left.

It's time to dial Nanny 911.

[phone ringing]

Hello.

This is Nanny 911.

NARRATOR: We've gathered a
team of world class nannies

from all over the globe.

Each week, from Nanny
Central, they will watch

a video of a family in crisis--

[crying]

You [bleep]

NARRATOR: --and decide which
nanny is best suited to help.

They will then have one week to
take our families from living

hell to a family bliss.

Look at me, I'm serious.

There are going to have to be
some major changes that go on.

That's the plan.

NARRATOR: Can these
families be saved?

No, we leave her.

It doesn't have
to be this extreme.

I am trying to show you
a better way to do this.

NARRATOR: Parents of
America, help is on the way.

Hello.

NARRATOR: Tonight, the
Johnston family needs help.

Seven girls are too much,
Even for the world's best mom.

I know I'm a good mom.

NARRATOR: They're
totally out of control.

Ouch.

NARRATOR: Kristen needs to
learn to relax because she

has a heart condition.

It's starting to
affect my health.

I developed a heart arrhythmia.

NARRATOR: And even though he's
a cop, Scott hasn't got a clue.

Don't you like playing
tackle football better?

No.

NARRATOR: Can Nanny
Yvonne save this family?

This week it's daddy's day out.

All six, seven.

All right, we got seven.


Where's your sister Rebecca?

NARRATOR: On Nanny 911.

[theme music]

SCOTT: All right, enough.

Enough already.

My family, well, it's big.

Go easy.

My wife Kristin, I
have seven daughters.

Olivia, Hannah, Kaeley, Amelia,
Molly, Rebecca, and Natalie.

It's a full house.

When I first met Kristen, I
knew in the back of my mind

pretty fast that she
was going to be the one.

We did want to
have a large family,

and I think we did that.

Seven kids, you know, that's it.

I think we're done.

I'm pretty sure we're done.

There are definitely
days where I'd come home

and the house is torn apart.

Oh my god, who made a big mess?

Me.

There's only
one full bathroom.

Oh, thank you.

And every time I want
to go, they're in there.

And as soon as once comes
out, another one's running in.

Hurry up.
I have to go.

It's going to be difficult.

Hurry up.

I tend to take a lot on.

OK, we're going to get juice
as soon as we get dressed, OK?

I'm a super, super planner.

I like everything
on the calendar.

The calendar for the
month is always full.

Kristen over plans everything.

I don't need plans.

Can I watch the game?

He turns the TV on and kind of
just locks everyone in the room

and forces them to watch TV.

That's my biggest
probably complaint.

He doesn't realize how much
I really do, definitely.

We ain't close to eating?

Oh, no.

SCOTT: What are you
doing out there?

KRISTEN: Meals are
pretty chaotic.

Olivia, eat your dinner.

Molly is eating and
acting like an adult,

and all you are acting
like little kids.

A lot of times it
seems like I'm angry.

I don't like that word.

He has a shorter fuse.

Girls, quiet, both of you.

KRISTEN: He'll yell a lot
quicker than anybody else.

Cut it out.

Enough.

I'm probably the only one
that they all will listen to.

Get in there.

You will not tell me
what you're doing.

All right?

He makes everybody run
when he yells, you know.

You're going to go
to sleep in a second.

Get out.

Just a little piece
of chicken, look.

I don't say no a lot.

I'm a people-pleaser.

I like to make everybody happy,
but I think it's definitely

taking its toll on my health.

And I know I don't eat
right, I don't sleep right.

You need to go to bed.

Having little breakdowns,
you know, crying fits.

There's only so much
my brain can handle.

Three months ago, I woke up
and my heart was pounding.

I got out of bed and I
kind of sat on the couch

and the kids started waking
up, and I couldn't move.

It hurt my ears, that's
how hard it was pounding.

They're still not really sure
what happened, why it happened.

I mean, it was scary.

So they had to rush
me to the hospital.

I was diagnosed with
a heart arrhythmia

and the doctor believes
it's stress related,

and I need to really slow
down and take care of myself.

I've been tested and been
in and out of the hospital

and now on medication to keep
the rate of my heart lower.

We're young,
got a lot of kids,

I don't want to be by myself.

A lot of people say we were
twins separated at birth

and then found each other.

Wow.

This weekend, on doctor's
orders, I'm going away,

so this is the first time
he'll be completely by himself.

I'm very nervous.

Why is the floor soaking wet?

So what do you think, girls?

These children have
the run of the house.

No wonder she
has heart problems.

He needs to stop yelling and
help around the house more.

Yeah, he definitely needs
to stop barking his orders.

He's got little girls.

They're not cadets.

Having reviewed
this case, I have

decided that Yvonne's
loving nature

is right to tame this family.

Yes.

NANNY YVONNE: I'm Nanny Yvonne,
and I've been dispatched

to Long Island, New York.

My understanding is that the
Johnstons have some problems.

Get your socks.

NANNY YVONNE: Kristen has
her hands full with seven

rambunctious daughters
and all that work has

resulted in a heart condition.

Scott is a hardworking
New York cop

with a short fuse, who has never
been left alone with the girls.

Girls, quiet.

Olivia, put it down now.

NANNY YVONNE: His temper and
Kristen's need to control

are going to make it difficult
for her to leave as planned.

Given the state of
Kristen's health,

the stakes are incredibly high.

It's my job to make
sure that Kristen

feels comfortable leaving
the girls in Scott's care.

I'm Nanny Yvonne, and I'm
from Coventry, England.

I've been a nanny for 15 years.

Kristen needs to realize
that raising a family

takes teamwork.

She is so stressed
out that her health

has been seriously compromised.

She needs to step back
and let Scott step up.

This family needs
mom to stick around.

I'm here to help them out.

Hi.

- Hello.
- How are you?

Yvonne, Nanny 911.

Thanks for coming.

Come on in.

Oh, who's this?

Look who's here.

- Hello.
- How are you doing?

- You must be Scott?
- Yes, I'm Scott.

How are you doing?
- Yvonne.

Great to meet you.
- How are you doing?

Nice to meet you.

Can I take my hat off?

Can I stay a while?
- Yeah.

Yeah?
Great.

Great.

OK, so I'm going to observe
you for a little while

and see how you manage
to make all this work.

You might even
learn a thing or two.

My first impression
of Nanny was

she was extremely
formal with her uniform

and very businesslike,
and I didn't

know how it was going to go.

Girls, stop it.

[all talking at once]

I'm going to separate
the two of you.

Cut it out.

This family is
quite overwhelming.

Everybody fighting for
one person's attention.

KRISTEN: No more candy.

That's it.

Listen, listen, no more.

It's TJ's and
nobody's riding it.

I want to put it away.

Go put it in the back.

There you go.

Want to play
baseball with Hannah?

NANNY YVONNE: While
Kristen devotes

every waking minute
to the girls,

Scott spends his
time as he pleases.

In one day, I saw Mom
take on more things

than most take on in a week.

Stop.

Enough.

NANNY YVONNE: It's
time this father

owns his responsibilities.

Three little bears, without
a light, without a stick,

without a rope,
and all with the--

--shivers.

NANNY YVONNE: Even when Kristen
is parenting for the both

of them, Scott still
loses his patience.

Come on.

KRISTEN: All right, goodnight.

Goodnight.

NANNY YVONNE:
Having seen enough,

I decided it was time to sit
down with Scott and Kristen.

We've been observing you.

You appear to be
taking on everything.

You have arrhythmia, which
is an irregular heartbeat,

so what is the doctor said.

A lot of it is
not eating right,

not taking care of myself, and
stressing about everything.

I know I'm going to be in
the hospital, you know,

which is not the
worst case obviously.

But--

Worst case potential
is heart failure.

KRISTEN: Yeah.

Tomorrow, we're going to come
up with a plan to help you.

We're going to take some of this
stress away and get you well.

OK?

Sounds good.

NANNY YVONNE: I've
observed the Johnstons

and now it's time for me
to institute some changes

before it's too late.

So, Kristen, seriously,
you need to take

better care of yourself.

You haven't been doing
what the doctor ordered.

You must take time
to eat properly.

Just a little
piece of chicken.

NANNY YVONNE: You need
to let Scott take on some

of the responsibilities.

His way may not be your way,
but his way is good enough

and Scott knows that.

Scott, you've just got to
be more proactive with how

you go about it.

You need to insist to Kristen,
Kristen, I'm bathing the girls.

Now sit down.

OK?

She'll find
something else to do.

Well, you know, she's not
going to like it at first,

because she's not used to it.

I'll get lazy.

You won't get lazy.

And, Scott, I am
going to help you

play girl games with the girls.

There you go.

You've got seven daughters.

Do your nails.

Maybe not do
your nails, but you

could certainly do their nails.

And as far as the children,
the girls are old enough

to start doing some chores.

Don't feel like
you're bad parents

for asking them to simply
pick up the clothes

that they just took off.

You need a stick around here.

You're in this
for the long haul.

Your life can literally
depend on this.

So what do you think about this?

Sounds reasonable.

If we can get it to
work, that would be great.

Yeah.
- Believe in him.

Right.

Natalie, turn around.

NANNY YVONNE: I sensed some
resistance from Kristin.

Scott has got his
work cut out for him.

It's going to take a
lot for her to let go,

and it's going to get worse
before it gets better.

NANNY YVONNE: First, we need to
change how the household runs.

Everyone in the family
needs to pitch in.

So, Kristen, how are you going
to implement the new rules?

They're going to
set the table tonight.

They are?
Fabulous.

It's important that
Kristen has the girls

pitch in at meal times.

Most of the girls are
old enough to help out.

SCOTT: Olivia, please
go get the napkins.

SCOTT: Olivia.

No, I asked you, Olivia.

I did not say Mimi.

I said Olivia.

Kaeley, please don't
talk like that.

- Olivia?
- Yeah?

You know what?

I heard your daddy ask you
very nicely to get the napkins.

Olivia, please
go get the napkins.

You.

Good job, Olivia.

She's not going anywhere.

She's just hiding.

Olivia's had an attitude
for the last two years.

Olivia, get out from
under the table now.

I'm trying.

You're not trying.

She went from 6 to 14.

She kind of skipped
all the middle years.

Olivia, you know,
you are the big sister,

and if you don't
listen to your daddy,

then your sisters
aren't going to listen.

Well, one of the
ways you can show

your Mommy and Daddy
that you love them

is by listening to them.

OK.

OK?

All right, go and sit down.

Because relaxing is
imperative for her health,

one of my goals at dinner time
is to make Kristen sit down

and eat a hot meal.

So now you need to sit down
and take care of yourself.

OK.

It's hard when you're
so used to doing

something one way to listen to
somebody say you have to do it

this way.

The same way my kids don't
want to listen to me when I

say you have to do it this way.

This is you every
single meal, OK?

So it's not about giving up
everything every single meal.

Right.

Very rarely do we get
a nice, quiet meal.

You're banging into my wall.

Kristen, can I suggest that
maybe if she's kind of not

sitting down, not listening,
not eating, then that's

it for the day.
- OK.

I'm finished.

You're all finished?

NANNY YVONNE: So I've been
advising Kristen that she needs

to establish simple rules here.

Can you take your plate
and put it in the sink?

NANNY YVONNE: As long as Kristen
gives some clear direction,

the girls will
absolutely get it.

Olivia?

Olivia, I need you to take
the garbage out for me, OK?

Hold your nose.

You can do it.

Olivia was always a rebel.

You know, if I say
black, she says white.

She fights me on
almost everything.

You can do it.

Olivia, over here.

Olivia, I need you to do it.

[olivia yelling]

You break the bag, you're
going to have to clean it up,

so I suggest you don't throw it.

To have someone tell her, this
is what you need to do now,

she's definitely resenting it.

KRISTEN: You're going to move?

NANNY YVONNE: Olivia's
the oldest girl

and should start taking
on some responsibilities.

She needs to start
setting an example

for the rest of the girls.

She completely knows which
buttons to press on you,

and she is completely
playing you right now.

KRISTEN: Oh, yeah.

You need to affirm
that you're the parent

and you are the boss, and she is
not the boss of you, all right?

Ultimately, you are
the decision maker.

I think I was
more stressed out

today than I was before
this whole thing started.

So now I'm just going to go in
and check on the other kids.

I'm learning that it's
more stressful for me

to try to change that
much that quickly.

Oh, god.

Then to just slowly take my
time and change a little bit

every day.

NANNY YVONNE: Kirsten was
a little apprehensive.

You know, I think I hit home
earlier about her health.

I think she knows these
suggestions are very helpful.

It's just applying it.

Kristen, this is the first time
today I've seen you sit down.

You just don't seem to stop,
and you've got such a high level

of perfection.

If you can just find
five minutes now just

to kind of just de-stress,
unwind, and prepare

yourself for the next event.

You are a wonderful mom.

You're doing such
an incredible job,

but it's just right
now all about giving

yourself permission--

Right.

NANNY YVONNE: To take
that five minutes.

No.
Come here.

Come here.

You're doing-- you are.

You're brilliant.

You are.

You are wonderful.

Your kids love you and you've
been a great mom and it shows.

You've got great kids.

OK?

No one's faulting you as a mom.

You're doing such
a brilliant job,

but you've taken on the world.

You are such a great mom, such
a great mom and a great wife.

I know it.

I know I'm a good mom.

So why are you crying?

I don't know,
because I'm not, I

guess, not being good
enough to myself,

and it's hard to do that.

It's just hard to change.

It's hard.

No.

I'll get there.

I will.

If you can just find
five minutes now just

to kind of just de-stress--

Right.

Because you are just
ongoing, ongoing all the time,

and you just don't seem to stop.

I told her to enjoy
that relaxation moment.

She took a big breath in,
and then it just poured

out that it really is too much.

It was quite an
emotional moment.

I'm not, I guess being
good enough to myself.

NANNY YVONNE: It was very
upsetting for me to see that.

It's hard to do that.

It's just hard to change.

Kristen finally
recognized the fact

that she's taken on too much.

You know, you got 40 people
asking you to do something,

and I get pushed to my limit.

NANNY YVONNE:
Kristen's breakdown

convinced me that
she needs to relax

and she needs to relax now.

For her health, she needs
to delegate and just hand

off some of the responsibility.

I'm giving her the
rest of the day

off and handing the
household over to Scott.

OK, so, Kristen, it's about time
you gave Scott his wings, OK?

We're going to
insist that you sit

down, because Scott needs to
prepare for when you go away.

And, Scott, it's
just Kristen allowing

you to do it, all right?

And you're going to sit down
and you're going to relax.

OK.

And you'll do the dishes?

We'll take care
of the dishes, OK?

All right, come on, Scott.

Have fun.

Can I clear the table?

Is that all right?

NANNY YVONNE: It's going to take
some time for Kristen to relax.

Scott wastes no time
taking charge of the girls.

SCOTT: OK.
OK.

OK.

Stop.

SCOTT: OK.

It's going to stop.

Sprinkles or no?

No sprinkles.

NANNY YVONNE: What Scott will
learn after spending more

time with the girls
is that any event

can turn into a fussy one.

OK.

That's OK.

Don't worry about it.

Oh my god.

Bedtime.

Yes, she is tired.

Molly, come here.

Becca.

Becca, come here.

[girls crying]

Molly, in your bed now.

In.

No.

[sobbing]

[crying]

Yes, we're really
going to bed.

Goodnight, girls.

Kaeley, don't start.

Kaeley, close your
eyes and go to sleep.

[sobbing]

Enough.

My concern is Scott is
going to lose his patience,

and there will be a lot of
yelling and screaming going on.

KAELEY: [sobbing]

Kaeley, enough.

Kaeley, enough.

Kae-- nobody has light.

You happy?

Now put your head
down and go to sleep.

I told you to stop
complaining and go to sleep.

I don't like it.

Now you have something-- good.

Now cry.

[crying]

NANNY YVONNE: Kristen needs
to give Scott a chance,

but she simply refuses to.

Kristen can't let go.

I'm going to have to insist
that she remove herself

from the house tomorrow.

At my insistence,
Kristen is going to leave

early for her weekend away.

The hardest part
for me going away

is trying not to worry
that Scott is going to lose

his patience, and there
will be a lot of yelling

and screaming going on.

Kae--

KAELEY: [shrieking]

I told you to stop
complaining and go to sleep.

I know Hannah is having
a hard time already,

but I do need this break,
and I'm going to do it.

Where are you going, Mama?

Mommy's going to go
visit some friends.

No.

Kaeley.

Daddy's going to be
home, don't worry.

I know.

I bet you're going to do some
special things with Daddy.

He doesn't let you paint?

Oh, I bet you he'll let
you do lots of other things.

NANNY YVONNE: Dad arrives
to seven crying girls

and one equally upset mom.

It started as soon as I said
I'm leaving when you come home.

Wait a minute.

I'm trying to get Kristen
to go without worrying

about the kids, so it's
time to show her that it can

be done without her doing it.

Maybe she can relax
a little more.

What's the matter?

Oh.

I'm going to be here.

What do you need Mommy for?

I'm going to basically
handle it all.

NANNY YVONNE: Despite
Kristen's lingering

concerns with
Scott's capabilities,

it's time for her to leave.

Hannah.

You're not leaving.

Hannah.

It's time to go.

Bye, Mama.

Oh.

Easy, Liv.

Liv, Liv, don't pop it.

Let's say goodbye to Mommy,
then we'll ride bikes.

I know.

I'll get her.

NANNY YVONNE: I don't
think Kristen is quite

ready at this point
still to comfortably

and confidently go away.

OK.
Wait.

Stop.

Everybody give me a kiss.

Mommy's going bye bye.

Give me a kiss.

OK?

OK.

I'll see you in a few days.

SCOTT: Where's
Hannah, in the car?

KRISTEN: Yeah.

SCOTT: Hannah, out of the car.
- No.

Out of the car.

No.

Hannah, you're going to make
me drag you out of the car?

No.

You have to get out.

You're not going.

Get out of the car.

NANNY YVONNE: Dad is already
having problems with the girls,

and Mom hasn't even left yet.

Hannah, get out of the car.

Get out of the car.

No.

[sobbing] Not Daddy.

I want to go--

Hannah, come to Mommy.

Stop, OK?

You're going to be with Daddy.

You'll have fun and
you're going to be fine.

You all right?

Yeah.

I shouldn't worry, right?

- Not a problem.
- Yeah.

No.

Hannah, I love you and I
will be back in a little while.

NANNY YVONNE: Hannah's
breakdown underlines

just how desperately the kids
need time alone with Scott.

[sobbing]

Bye, everybody.

I love you all.

I think Scott thinks he's
very ready for this challenge.

He's all alone with
the seven girls,

and it's going to be
for quite a while.

And I don't think he realizes
the intensity of what he's

actually going to be taking on.

I'm going to leave
Scott to it for a while

and see how he handles things.

NANNY YVONNE: He's not
off to a very good start.

Being it is the first time
I'm alone a whole weekend

with them, we've got to adapt.

They're not used to it.

I'm not used to it.

It'll be fine.

Olivia.

Would you like a snack?

Here I am with
the seven of them.

So far, so good.

OK, you want chips?

No.

There really are
very important reasons

why Kristen needed to
get away this weekend.

One, was for Scott to realize
the extent of what Kristen does

on a day to day basis,
and the other one really

was for Scott to
realize that he is more

than capable of helping out.

Natalie, you want chips?

No.

You want this?

No.

You want this?

No.

No, don't throw them.

Do not throw them.

Girls, can you do me one favor?

I know you don't.

Can you help me clean up?

No.

Don't throw them.

Olivia, are you throwing them?

No.

Underhand.
- No.

No.

Not under, not
over, don't do it.

Being at home alone with
the girls, it's insane.

It's way too much.

[squealing]

Why is the floor soaking wet?

Why is the floor soaking wet?

Drain it and get out.

All right, get out.

Hurry up and get out, Olivia.

Good, and now you're done.

Get out.

Easy.
Easy.

Easy.

Easy.

I heard you, and you
don't talk that way.

I'm not making it right now.

You have to wait.

NANNY YVONNE: It's
clear that Scott

has got to learn a better
way of communicating

with his children.

Don't start.

What's wrong with you?

Kaeley, hey, I don't
like that word.

Quiet.

NANNY YVONNE: Kristen may be in
a less stressful environment,

but she's far from relaxed.

I have a little bit of guilt,
a little bit of excitement

about being away, and a little
bit of nervousness about how

things are going to go at home.

Well, I'm sure the doctors would
be happy that I was taking it

a little easier, but I
don't think I'll start

relaxing overnight either.

So, Scott, what's next?

I guess we'll give Amelia
an ice pop before we go up.

Ice cream.

No, ice pops tonight.

No, ice cream.

Amelia, come here.

Amelia?

All right, nothing.

You get nothing.

You don't get anything.

I want ice cream.

Stop it.

You know what?

Daddy offered you
two different kinds.

I don't think the nanny's
going to be the savior,

you know, to correct things.

I want ice cream.

Amelia, it's your last chance.

Ice cream.

All right, let's go upstairs.

Come on, you're done.

No.

You're done.

When I've had enough,
I end it, and whatever

I said I was going to do, I do.

Come on, walk with me.

Come on.

Come on.

Walk.

Enough.

I want Mommy!

Enough!

You're not Mama.

I want Mama.

No.

Mommy went out.

She had to go to a meeting.

I want Mommy.

Stop it.

It's almost impossible for
one parent to do it all.

I want Mommy.

SCOTT: Will you cut it out?

Enough.

I want Mama.

Enough.

Now go to sleep.

Scott, can we come outside
for a little word, please?

It certainly raised my
eyebrows when he shouted.

He just lost it.

Would you like to tell me
what just went on in there?

Kids won't listen,
so I yelled at them.

What do you think
yelling is going to prove?

What do you know?
You've been here a few days.

I've been doing this for years.

Yeah, well, obviously, your
way is not working, is it?

Because they're still
not listening to you.

Tonight was the last night of
you yelling at them, Scott.

And tomorrow, you
will try my way.

After my stern words with
Scott, I sensed that he may

finally be willing to change.

Let's hope so for
Kristen's sake.

As far as yelling at them, I
mean, I know I shouldn't do it.

But still, it's a
work in progress.

I'm trying to correct it.

OK.

OK.

Sit down.

You want blue?

All right, I'll give
you another yellow one.

Her ideas were
definitely good ideas.

It was kind of just
like a wake up call.

NANNY YVONNE: Scott
really seems to have

taken our little chat to heart.

I really am going to stay
out of your way, Scott,

because I know you can do this.
- Yeah, I don't need any help.

Here's one.

There's two.

It's your sister.

Your sister.

Hold on, everybody wet them.

You're all good.

You all got toothpaste?

OK.

I mean, on a usual week, how
often does Kristen normally

let you help and bathe them?

SCOTT: Normally, she just
likes to do everything herself.

So usually never.

So I let her.

She just doesn't
know how to stop.

Well, you see,
that's why we're

here to allow you to step in.

I mean, you're obviously
doing an incredible job.

It's a challenge.

We'll get there.

You want to feed Riley?

I'm kind of letting
more roll off.

I'm being a little
more flexible.

It just makes things go easier.

NANNY YVONNE: Since
our conversation,

Scott is doing
remarkably well and is

no longer yelling at the girls.

Everyone's cooperating.

Scott's passed my test,
but will he make the grade

with Kristen when she returns.

So, Olivia?

Olivia, look at me one second.

OK, you are so wonderful.

Do you know that?

And let me tell you something.

Your mom is finding it tricky
to try and ask you for help.

And we are trying to
keep your mom healthy.

OK?

And one of the ways
that we can keep

your mom healthy and strong
is by helping her, OK?

All right.

It's so nice to
see Olivia setting

the table on her own accord.

It's a really remarkable
turnaround from the girl I met

at the beginning of the week.

SCOTT: Get out from
under the table now.

I need you to do it now.

Oh, my god.

Mom, does the fork go
on the left or the right?

NANNY YVONNE: She's
finally got it.

Thank you very much.

Good job.

NANNY YVONNE: Mom's returned
healthier than ever.

She must be so relieved.

It was so nice that I was
able to get away, relax, take

some time for myself, and show
him also that I could trust

him to take care of the kids.

And show myself that
it's OK that other people

can do things for us.

I missed you.

Hi.

Nanny Yvonne
helped me to realize

that raising seven girls
on a day to day basis

is a full time job, just
like the real job I have.

Put those shoes back and
please get out of my room.

Doing it on your own
is next to impossible.

I feel like I know
a little bit more

of what it's like to walk
in Kirsten's shoes now.

NANNY YVONNE: Now that Scott
has a better relationship

with his girls, I thought it'd
be great for him to polish it

off by showing his softer side.

So, Scott, I'm going
to introduce you

to your first girly activity.

How would you feel about
painting their toenails?

I think toenails are a first.

OK.

Do it on your nose?

No.

Oh, OK.

Yeah.

Do you guys do this?

No.

That's right.

Mommy or Daddy, right?

Can you see it?

Don't touch it.

I said, can you see it?

Painting your toes.

Pink nail polish?

Yeah.

He had painted
their toenails, and he

had done it all by himself.

Thanks, Daddy.

Oh, thank you.

Don't you like playing
tackle football better?

No.

It's easy to relax
when you're away

from the house and the kids
and sitting on a beach.

Bedtime.

KRISTEN: The hard part is coming
home and not doing anything

while Scott's
running around trying

to take care of everything.

Your feet are dry?

Yeah.

Nails dry quick.

NANNY YVONNE: I'm
so happy to see

that Kristen is pleased
with Scott's interaction

with the girls.

Hug?

NANNY YVONNE: She's
clearly well on her way

to a healthier lifestyle.

Big hugs.

Goodnight, girls.

Goodnight.

And their family lived
happily ever after.

I realized that Scott
had done it all by himself,

and I was really proud of him.

Good job, honey.

Thank you.

NANNY YVONNE: Scott's decided to
throw Kristen a surprise party.

He's arranged for her
to spend the morning

getting a massage to top off
the weekend of relaxation.

Come on.

We're going to go out.

NANNY YVONNE: In
preparation for the party,

Scott's taking the girls
out for a day of shopping.

SCOTT: Hannah, sit down.

Hold my hand.

I don't enjoy shopping.

I don't even go clothes
shopping for myself.

What can I do for you?

Hi.

I'd like to look for
a couple of dresses

for the three little ones.

CLERK: Something like
this for the little ones?

SCOTT: Molly, you like this?

You like that?

CLERK: Is that cute?

Should we try these on you?

The challenge is just keeping
all of them from disappearing.

That also comes in baby blue.

That's adorable.

You look pretty.

Kristen's definitely
going to be surprised.

I think that's to say the least.

You seen Nat?

Natalie?

You look pretty.

CLERK: You look so cute.

So beautiful.

What?

You don't want me to talk?

You just want me to pay?

Ah, typical girl.

Everybody stay
right here, please?

No front door.

Juggling seven kids, it's crazy.

I don't know how
Kristen does it.


Where's your sister?

Anybody seen Amelia?

Mimi?

Mimi?

Amelia?

Mimi?

Mimi.

Amelia?

Has anybody seen Amelia?

You can't imagine what
goes through your head

when you can't find
one of your kids.


Where's your sister?

If Kristin finds out that
I lost one of the girls,

you know, she's going
to be very upset.

Mimi?

Mimi?

Mimi?

Anyone seen Amelia?

Mimi?

Amelia?

Amelia, listen to me, please?

You can't imagine how
relieved I was to find Amelia.


All right, we got 7.
We're good.

Come on.

NANNY YVONNE: With only 35
minutes until Kristen's return,

Scott and the girls must rush
to finish the last minute party

decorations.

All right, girls,
you get ready.

Take your socks off.

All right.

Getting ready today with a
party, gets a little hectic.

Let's put this one on.

You know, doing
everything by yourself.

Do you want this one?

It's just a little crazy.

Few more minutes.

Scott's come so far.

Kristen is going to be
delighted to come home

to her seven little darlings and
a surprise party in her honor.

We got three minutes.

Standby.

Here she comes.

Here.

I was so surprised to
come home and realize

there was a party just for me.

A week ago, I don't believe
he could have pulled that off.

Scott had gone out and
actually bought them

all dresses for the occasion.

Who got you these nice dresses?

Daddy.

Daddy?

This is probably
the first party I

didn't plan so this is so nice
just to walk in and enjoy it.

And he did a great job.

I think Nanny
helped just a little

more confidence with the kids,
handling them all on my own.

NANNY YVONNE: The girls were
so excited to show Mommy

their little works of art.

That is so pretty.

Very, very nice.

NANNY YVONNE: The party
is a huge success,

and it's so great to
see them all together.

It's been a challenging week,
but I'm confident that I've

got to the heart of the matter.

I would definitely
have the nanny back

to our house any day.

She's wonderful.

She's really helped our
family, and you know, helped

me to realize that we
need to start letting

other people help us out.

NANNY YVONNE: I'm so
happy with the progress

the Johnstons have made.

Kristen has learned that it's OK
to give up some of the control

and allow Scott to participate
more in caring for their girls.

This has allowed
Kristen to take better

care of herself
and Scott to grow

closer to their seven girls.

Raising seven girls takes an
awful lot of love and patience,

and Scott and Kristen have shown
they're up to the challenge.

They're two of the
most incredible

parents I've ever met.

Mommy, Nanny left us
something in the kitchen.

She did?

Should we come see?

What's this?

My Dear Johnstons,
we at Nanny 911

have decided that you should
take the rubber duckies I have

left for you and put them in
a brand new and much needed

bathroom we have arranged
to be added to your home.

Hopefully, this will make
bath time a little easier.

My best wishes to you all.

Your Nanny, Yvonne.
