01x10 - Cubbison Family

[bunniefuu]

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

[bleep]

NARRATOR: Kids
completely out of control

and taking over the household.

These families have reached
the end of the rope.

They're in desperate
need of help.

No, I'm not!

Yeah!

NARRATOR: They only have
one alternative left.

It's time to dial Nanny 911.

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

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.

Not once did these
children get praised.

They do say thank you.

You can ask them.

NARRATOR: Can these
families be saved?

You called me to come
fix your family problems,

but if you think you can do
a better job, get on with it.

Get in that bed
now, and stay there.

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

How are you?

NARRATOR: Tonight,
Amy and Neil Cubbison

have found that married
life is for the birds.

Jac!

NARRATOR: Three
kids and 80 pigeons

are too much for
this Odd Couple.

Ooh, ooh.

William, get down from there.

I gotta go pee-pee.

NARRATOR: Mom can't
get it together.

Will you help me, please?

Jac, can you help me?

While Dad doesn't
get it at all.

Oh, you're OK.

NARRATOR: Can Nanny
Stella keep this family

from flying the coop?

Ooh.

Neil, are you very busy?

Yeah.

NARRATOR: It's one flew
over the cuckoo's nest.

Maybe I'm the wrong
nanny for this job.

NARRATOR: Tonight
on "Nanny 911."

[theme music]

Daddy!

AMY: My name is Amy Cubbison.

I've been married
for 15 years to Neil,

my grumpy, young Englishman.

NEIL: My name is Neil Cubbison.

I have three children.

Ooh!

AMY: William is six years old,
and William is like a monkey.

Ooh, ooh, ooh.

AMY: He's been climbing
since he was one.

He drives me crazy.

William, get down from there.

You're going to hurt yourself.

He climbs all over my
furniture, and every week,

he breaks something.

And William old
boss Jac around.

These are my scissors.

No.

William likes to spank Jac.

He likes to discipline Jac.

He deserves this.

William is challenging.

No.

No.

Are you all right?

AMY: Jac is three, and he
will not go in the potty.

That's a long one.

He'll go in the shower.

He likes the shower.

He's been holding
it for a while.

He'll only pee in the
shower, the sink, or outdoors.

Ah-oh, look at the
plants growing.

I've given up.

I really have.

Did you go pee-pee yet?

No.

I have tried
blackmail, bribery.

I can't tell you.

Gotta go pee-pee.

I'm hoping and
praying that it'll

get taken care of, because
if it goes on much longer,

I don't think it
will be cute anymore.

Kaylee is my little baby,
and she's a sweet baby.

She's loving, but she
likes me to hold her,

and she likes me to be around.

OK.

A big issue of ours,
one of our main issues

is the joyous family bed.

When we go to bed at
night, we have six people,

including the dog in our bed.

What we're hoping
is they'll get

old enough where
they just wander

off back to their own rooms.

The family bed is not working.

There's no sleep at our house.

My husband picked up a
hobby called racing pigeons.

The pigeons are an issue.

I race homing pigeons.

He spends, I would say

I have been very upset
about the pigeons.

It's a great way
to spend my time.

The family needs to be
a priority to the pigeons.

It's a great hobby.

I love it.

AMY: William has
said, Daddy, do you

love the pigeons more than us?

And that makes me sad.

I called Nanny 911
because I had enough.

Jac, you took it off
of where I want it.

I don't really think
we need Nanny 911.

William.

Something's gotta change.

I can't do it like this anymore.

It's not working.

I don't think there's
huge problems with the kids.

WILLIAM: Daddy!

Not for me.

No.

My life's out of control.

It's like a whirlwind.

I don't think any family
is the perfect picture,

but I definitely
think that my marriage

and family is in trouble.

Crap.

So what did you think
of this family, girls?

Mom does everything, while
dad raises the pigeons?

Did that child actually
water the plants?

Who's potty training
him, the pigeons?

The whole family has gone
to the birds, if you ask me.

Far too much time is being
spent with those birds.

I think that you, Stella,
are perfect for this family.

STELLA: It has come
to my attention

that the Cubbison family
have some problems.

WILLIAM: You break this down.

Gotta go pee-pee.

STELLA: Dad Neil seems
to favor his 80 pigeons

over his three children.

Mom Amy can no longer carry
the load all by herself.

This family has
gone to the birds,

and it certainly seems like I've
got a long week ahead of me.

Don't listen.

Never fear, Nanny
Stella is here.

Hello.

Hello.

I've been waiting for
you for six years.

I'm Nanny Stella.

Hi.
Nice to meet you.

Hello.

This is Kaylee.

She's almost eight months.

Hi, Kaylee.

Hi, Stella.

Hi.

Neil, pleased to meet you.

AMY: And this is William.

Hi.

Nice to meet you, William.

And who's hiding over there?

NEIL: Jac.

STELLA: Are you running
away from me already?

AMY: He knows he's in trouble.

STELLA: He is?

Oh.

So let me tell you
what happens, OK?

Today, I'm going to observe, and
I'm going to take some notes.

AMY: We'll just go
about our normal day?

STELLA: Yeah, just
do what you normally

do when you're all together.

WILLIAM: Jac.

STELLA: The first
thing I noticed

is that the morning routine is
obviously a one-sided affair.

Give him his backpack, OK?

Give him his backpack.

STELLA: Amy must get the kids
dressed and ready for the day

all by herself, while
Neil handles his pigeons.

AMY: Give him his backpack.

It's his.

WILLIAM: He has to call Daddy.

I'm not calling Daddy.

Get up, please.

Listen to me.

STELLA: With three kids
vying for her attention,

Amy is clearly overwhelmed.

She literally has
her hands full.

In fact, she hasn't put that
baby down since I walked in.

With two parents at home,
one should watch the baby,

while the other cleans house.

But Neil obviously has
his hands full himself.

By midday, the children
are still left unattended,

and that is a
recipe for disaster.

WILLIAM: He deserves this.

What happened?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Jac, did William hit you?

Why is he crying?

What'd you do?

He disciplines.

JAC: And he scares me.

STELLA: I can't believe a
six-year-old feels the need

to discipline a three-year-old.

And what's even
more disturbing is

that Amy actually allows Will
to spank his little brother.

Do you like doing
that to your brother?

Yeah.

I won't just do it for nothing

STELLA: Is there an
adult in the house?

AMY: Tell me when you
have to go pee-pee.

JAC: Gotta go pee-pee.

AMY: You do?

STELLA: Did I just hear Jac
say he wants to pee outside?

I'll go with you.

STELLA: This, I've got to see.

Hey, Jac, where are you going?

Right here.

STELLA: That's his pee spot?

Jac has this usual spot to pee
in, right outside the door.

I can't imagine
what's growing there.

AMY: Where are you going to go?

STELLA: He's going a long
way in the garden to go

pee, a long way to go pee.

AMY: Over there?

STELLA: Oh, my god, he's
gone down the front street.

Now, this I have to see.

Oh, come on, Jac.

I have to finish lunch.

Come on.

Let's go.

AMY: Come on, Jac.

Just go on so we can go in.

I can't, I absolutely cannot
believe what I'm seeing.

I'm mortified.

AMY: Is that a good spot?

OK, that's a perfect spot.

Jac just peed in the street.

Isn't that kind of thing
illegal in America?

I mean, like littering?

Oh.

OK, Jac, come inside.

Time for lunch.

STELLA: It's only halfway
through my first day,

and I've already seen
more than enough.

It's definitely time to
sit these parents down

for a serious talk.

I'm done.

I've seen enough.
- Oh, no.

I'm scared.

I have to tell you there
are a lot of problems here.

My major concerns--
and they are major--

is Jac's toilet issues.

They are really big.

Have you ever
seen that before?

Never in my life.

The bullying from Will to
Jac is totally unacceptable.

This deserves this.

STELLA: Will should not
be disciplining Jac.

That's your job.

You're the parent, right?

And the other thing
is the amount of time

that you spend on your hobby
and not with the family.

The baby doesn't
have a schedule,

and you guys don't
have a schedule.

Your children all
sleep with you.

I look at you and I
want to rescue you,

because I'm worn
out watching you.

So I have to go.

It's going to take me a long
time to formulate my strategy,

and then I'll be back.

OK?

Thank you.

She's got her work
cut out for her.

STELLA: All day, Amy
has treated her family's

problems like a big joke.

I'm afraid she's got quite a
rude awakening ahead of her.

OK, Cubbison family,
family meeting, please.

After a day of observation, the
Cubbisons' problems are clear.

These parents simply have no
idea how to raise their kids.

So today, I'm giving the
family their own set of rules.

This has been my
biggest challenge yet.

We've got a lot to work on.

The first rule that
you desperately

need, absolutely
desperately, without fail,

is a family schedule.

Kaylee has to be on a schedule,
because all I have seen

is Amy connected to Kaylee.

Very rarely do you put her down.

I have to be honest, I
really haven't heard a cry.

She doesn't get a chance.

The other thing is that the
parental responsibilities

must be fairly divided.

I'm focusing on as much of
the uninvolvement of Neil

as I am on the
overinvolvement of you.

So maybe me and Dad are going
to butt heads on that one.

Jac, this is for you, OK?

Using the bathroom means
using the bathroom.

He's been holding
it for a while.

Oh, look at the plants growing.

Jac has to start going
potty in the bathroom,

and Nanny is going to
help him do that, OK?

And this is really important,
and this is for everybody,

you all need to sleep
in your own beds.

Does that scare everybody?

I'm scared to do it.

I feel like it'll make me
cry if my kids are crying.

I just feel like they need
that love and support.

Have I upset you already?

It's going to be hard for me.

We're going to fix it, OK?

All right?
NEIL: OK.

Thank you.

Sleep well.

NEIL: Good night.

STELLA: Amy obviously
has major attachment

issues with her children.

I have serious doubts
that she can consistently

abide by the new rules.

And sure enough, the first
thing I see is a rule broken--

everyone sleeping
in the same bed.

While I was pacing the
house, Amy was snoring.

She never budged.

It's her first day
with the new schedule,

and she obviously doesn't care.

Hi.

Come on.

Oh, I'll get up, I suppose.

I think you guys are
going to be late for school.

It's now 7:30, and
you leave at 8:15.

It's 7:30?

Oh, my--

STELLA: Yeah.

OK.

Ask William if he'll
eat pancakes too, then

I can just make one thing.

STELLA: OK, let's get
this show on the road.

I'm going to help you guys.

Mom is going to make breakfast.

We're going to get
your clothes ready.

You are more than
capable of going,

picking out your own clothes.

I'm going to help Jac.

WILLIAM: I can pick
out my own clothes.

STELLA: Amy only has

the kids ready for school, and
she chooses to make pancakes?

That makes about as much
sense as Dad spending

the morning with his birds.

Why should he just be
out with the pigeons?

NEIL: Some mornings, maybe
I should be helping out,

but overall, she should
be able to handle it.

It's kind of one job she
has to do in the morning.

STELLA: These kids are a
handful in the mornings,

and Neil is out there
tending to his pigeons.

I'm going to have to
put a stop to that.

Neil, are you very busy?

NEIL: I'll be in in
about one minute, OK?

One minute.

And then can you come
help, because there's

chaos in the house.

NEIL: Yeah.

Thank you.

I have a quick question.

OK.

Is he only coming in to help
because I'm asking, or do you--

AMY: Oh, absolutely.
- Do you ever--

Even now, he does not help.

Even though he doesn't
have to be out of here

till later today, he won't help?

M-m.

OK, I'm not happy about that.

What is Nana going to do?

Oh, Kaylee.

OK, your pancakes
are almost ready.

Is Will's ready?

Neil said he'd be in in a
minute, but he's not here yet.

AMY: Nanny challenged
Neil, and she's not going

to let him get away with that.

Mr. Cubbison.

NEIL: Coming.

Your time is up.

NEIL: Coming.

Neil came in.

Oh, here's Dad.

Morning.

Oh, my god, I'm
going to faint.

Morning.

And he really
didn't do anything.

He really didn't
contribute at all.

The family really needs you.

Every day.

AMY: OK, come on.

NEIL: Move away from the door.

William, we're leaving now.

NEIL: Can you move him
away from the door?

AMY: As usual, I was late
getting the kids to school.

With three children and nobody
listening, it's chaotic.

STELLA: The Cubbisons' first
morning with the new rules

was an absolute disaster.

Hopefully, things will
get better this afternoon

when I present Jac with
a surprise to encourage

him to use the potty.

I have a surprise for Jac.

Come with me.

Nanny said she had
a surprise for Jac,

and we went into his bathroom.

STELLA: Ooh.

I thought because Jac really
loves peeing with the outdoors,

we would bring the
outdoors to Jac.

Do you like your potty now?

No.

He didn't like it.

He was shocked.

Now, by any chance, would you
want to go pee-pee right now?

You want to go pee-pee?

If we close the door?

No.

STELLA: In my opinion, Jac
has a very big control issue

about where he wants to go.

Yeah, let's go.

We'll come back to the garden
toilet when we're ready.

Later in the day, he wanted to
go again, and he wouldn't go.

Do you have to go potty?

Do you have to go pee-pee?

STELLA: Jac wanted to go in his
usual space, but I'd explained

that he couldn't.

He needed to know that he
needed to use the bathroom.

So he kept holding it.

You have to go in the potty.

No.

He's scared.

It made me sad for him.

He's afraid right now.

He has to go pee-pee, but is
afraid to go on the potty.

When I heard Jac cry,
I can't handle it all.

OK.

I'm tired of negotiating.

No.

Jac wanted to go
in his usual space,

but I'd explained that
he couldn't, and he

needed to use the bathroom.

Come on, we're going
to make you happy.

If he goes and pees of his
own accord, now, that's fine.

It's just that nobody should be
prompting him to pee outside.

Yeah, right.

And if he has an accident,
that's what happens.

NEIL: OK.

But he's OK.

I just want you to know
he's not traumatized.

At one point, Jac
had his undies on,

and he actually had an accident
while he was outside playing.

STELLA: That's OK.

Did he have an accident?

It's OK.

Which, for me, I
was relieved about,

because it was about him
feeling that sensation,

the wet pants, not liking it.

WILLIAM: Did he
have an accident?

Yeah.
Jac went pee-pee.

Let's go, Jac.
WILLIAM: Daddy--

NEIL: Come on.

WILLIAM: --did he
have an accident?

NEIL: Yes.

STELLA: Jac peeing outside is
clearly a cry for attention,

just like the kids sleeping
with their parents,

and that nonsense must
come to an end tonight.

Do you remember that
before Nanny came,

Mom and Dad said to
you that you were going

to sleep in your own beds?

Prior to me coming to
the Cubbison family,

everybody slept in the same
bed, including the dog.

We're going to do that
tonight, do you know?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Is that a great idea?

Yeah.

Yeah.

STELLA: Since the boys need
a stronger father figure,

I'm having Neil put
them both to bed.

It's time to go
night night, OK?

STELLA: Let's see if Neil can
succeed where Amy has failed.

The first step was to
wind down Jac, and then

have him in bed by 7:30.

Lay back.

Lay back.

That's why you need your
pillow so you can see the book.

STELLA: Neil is clearly
making progress,

but Amy seems troubled, and
that is a very bad sign.

AMY: I don't think it's going to
happen, and if it does happen,

it's going to take a long
time and be grueling.

You stay in your
bed tonight, OK?

You understand?

You're going to stay
in your bed tonight,

and then William will come in
and he'll go in the top bunk,

and that will be his bed.

OK?

Time to go night night.

Shh.

Jac has never
slept by himself.

Jac fell asleep in his own
room, and he didn't even cry.

AMY: And that, to
me, was unbelievable.

STELLA: While Jac went
to bed without a fight,

Neil's detachment has obviously
left Will very confused.

By disciplining his brother and
sleeping in his parents' bed,

Will is clearly trying
to take his father's

place in the family.

So getting him to
sleep in his own bed

may be met with
extreme resistance.

See, I feel bad
when I see William.

I feel like it's my fault
because I never let him learn

to fall asleep on his own.

It is about you wanting
to keep him close,

wanting to keep them babies.

I mean, children are
sensitive, but you

can make them overly sensitive.

My advice would be
to be consistent.

He has to know that he's in
a safe place in his own bed.

It's free.

STELLA: This is going to
be very difficult for Amy,

but she must learn to let go.

Since he's been born, I've
been laying down with him

and snuggling him
till he goes to sleep.

STELLA: Amy is
clearly overwhelmed

by her own separation anxiety.

I'm afraid to
let my babies go.

STELLA: Dad is trying
very hard to put

an end to the family bed,
but Amy only undermines him.

Will this woman ever learn?

Amy?

Yeah.

Why are you lying
down with him?

Because he always hugs
me and we say our prayers.

Can you not hug outside
when he goes to bed?

It's extremely unhealthy
for a grown woman

to sleep with her
six-year-old son.

William, I don't think you're
supposed to have another book.

I'll read you one more book, OK?

Hurry.

But he can't read a
book, he has to go to bed.

The children's extreme
attachment issues

stem from Mom.

I love you.

STELLA: It was harder for Amy
to not sleep with the children

than it was for the children
not to sleep with Amy.

Good night, Mommy.

AMY: Good night.

I love you.

STELLA: And as soon
as Neil finally

got Will to sleep
in his own bed,

Amy took the baby into their
bed to sleep for the night.

I couldn't believe my eyes.

Amy told me she believed that
keeping the children in bed

with her and Neil, as
long as she had done,

was healthy for them.

It's as if she hasn't
listened to a thing I've said.

In the morning, I'm
going to have some very

strong words with Amy.

Change the water
in here for Froggy.

STELLA: For the first
time since I got here,

Dad starts the day
raising his kids

instead of raising his pigeons.

Yeah, there was
a lot of things

that Nanny Stella said that
made a lot of sense to me

and really made me
want to help out more.

I'm realizing that I needed
to step up and help Amy out.

STELLA: Now, that
Dad is beginning

to turn the corner,
it's time to turn

my attention to the main
problem in the house--

Mom.

I just wanted to talk
to you about last night.

Some of the things
that I observed,

I was very happy about.

Some of them, I wasn't.

What bothered me was the
fact that, straight away,

you crawled into
bed with William,

and then you did bring the
baby into bed with you.

There isn't any reason that
she couldn't stay in her crib.

True.

But you know what
was so nice to me

is having that cuddle in the
morning because I miss them.

There is a difference
between your kids

crawling into bed in
the morning with you

and having a cuddle than there
is sleeping with your children

for six years.

While Amy claims she's
on board with the plan,

she crosses me at every turn.

So today, I'm putting
her to the test.

But you're going to
put her down at 12:00.

Is that the plan?

Yes.

Are you happy now.

Are you happy now?

STELLA: The baby was scheduled
to have a nap at noon,

but Amy plays with her instead.

It's as if her needs come
before the children's, and Amy

repeated this selfish
behavior all day long.

You're an hour and a
half late for the nap time.

STELLA: She seemed to make
excuses and really avoid taking

on what she knew she had to do.

Even when Amy attempts
to be firm, she gives in.

She's told Jac he can't have
his binky until after lunch.

But when he cries, she caves in.

I don't like to push
them and pressure them

out of being babies, I think.

I just heard you
say and say and say

and say you can't have the
binky until you take a nap.

And now, he's got it, and
he hasn't had his lunch.

So I should have said,
no, you finish your lunch,

and you can have your binky
after lunch when we lay down.

What do you mean,
when we lay down?

He wants me to lay down.

No.

No.

Amy, am I confused?

NEIL: Are you confused?

STELLA: Amy I confused?

AMY: So I can't lay down
with him at nap time either?

I don't understand that.

STELLA: Amy knows I don't want
her to sleep with her children

at all.

She's agreed with me
about it, and yet, she

acts like this is news to her.

What will it take to get
through to this woman?

As the day progressed,
I realized it didn't

matter what the situation was.

She flat out ignores
everything I tell her

and does whatever she wants.

I'll go back and do it again.

You know what,
OK, you shouldn't--

I thought that she
was misleading me.

I felt like she was pulling
the wool over my eyes.

But she is eating
her cereal better.

You shouldn't have
given her any food,

because you'd already done it.

We'll go over it again.
- OK.

OK?

So now, she's at--

I constantly had to
clarify points to Amy

over and over and over again.

So don't feed her anymore,
just bathe her and nurse her

and put her to bed?
OK.

I can't do it like this anymore.

It's not working.

She was resisting me.

It's well past the
baby's bedtime,

but Amy wants to take
a bath with her anyway.

NEIL: Amy, the baby was supposed
to have a bath and go to bed.

STELLA: Something inside
of me just wants to shake

some sense into this woman.

Neil said she had to
get with the program.

She wasn't following the
schedule or the rules.

Well said.

Most sensible thing
I've heard all day.

Time is going by.

NEIL: OK.

For the first
time, I really felt

like throwing the towel in.

Nanny is about ready
to go out the door.

Let me tell you.

I don't believe my expectations
of Amy are unclear.

She's just playing
me for a fool,

and that's undermining
everything I'm

trying to do for her family.

So I have no choice but to
call Amy out once and for all.

I need some input from you two
because I'm really confused.

OK?

You have to know
what you're doing is

not working for these children.

Why did you have to take a
bath tonight with the baby?

Because she had
to take a bath.

STELLA: The baby or Amy?

No, Amy.

AMY: And the baby.

OK, but you're not
sticking to the schedule.

Well, maybe I need you
to write all the rules down

and give them to me and
I'll have my own copy,

and I'll go over them
so there's no question.

We'll go over it again.

OK.

I mean, I'm tired, and I
have to change a lot of things,

so it's not going
to be that easy.

It's a process.

My intelligence
is being insulted.

That's how I feel.

Maybe I'm the wrong
nanny for this job.

That's what I'm thinking.

Maybe Lilian made a bad
choice, because people normally

understand what I'm saying,
but you really don't want

to hear what I have to say.

I don't think you're listening.

I don't think you
want to listen.

You say to me, I get
that, and you smile,

and then you take
me off at a tangent

and talk about something else.

I have never--

You're giving me
like a panic att*ck.

You know, I mean, I thought
this was all going well,

and I'm trying really hard.

I feel like you think
that I'm tricking you.

I do.
I do.

Until--

That is so false.

I mean--

Well, this is the person
that I know for these few days.

I mean, if you want
this to get somewhere,

then let's sit down,
again, tomorrow morning

and decide where
you want it to go.

But you both have to
be on the same page.

Agree on what you want to do,
and tell me in the morning.

After I had gone off, Neil and
Amy had a really good talk.

NEIL: We talked and talked
early in the morning

and decided that we are a team.

We're going to stick together
through thick and thin.

I realized she really
was using tough love,

and she was right
about a lot of things,

and it made me move
forward, pushed me

forward where I needed to go.

STELLA: When I got
up in the morning,

everything was a
lot calmer, and Amy

and I ended up talking outside.

The way I handle things,
I get really upset,

and then I sorted out in my
head and I think I think.

I went through more emotion that
night than I've gone through

in 15 years, but I came
to realize I was creating

dependent children,
and I have to start

letting go of my children.

It's been very hard
in some regards,

but I've already
seen changes, really.

I am.

STELLA: She realized
that what she was doing

was not the best for the
family or for her marriage.

Even though last night
was really tough,

you are happy with the outcome?

Yeah, I am.

STELLA: After the blow
out, I definitely felt

a new beginning.

We'd had a rocky evening, but
they were definitely on track.

Over the next few days,
the Cubbisons began

making major improvements.

What's on the
schedule at 4:30?

STELLA: Amy started diligently
sticking to the schedule,

and the baby was no longer
attached to her hip.

I'm so proud of you.

STELLA: And Neil began spending
quality time with his kids

and helping his wife
around the house.

The kids are much
happier and far

better behaved
under the guidance

of an attentive father.

That's it.

Nice going.

Crawling.

STELLA: Will and Jac are
acting like brothers,

rather than father and son.

He's OK.

STELLA: And most importantly,
the kids are finally

all sleeping in their
own beds, and the family

structure is intact.

Everything is looking up for the
Cubbisons, but before I leave,

there's still one major
obstacle to overcome.

Jac must put his indoor
potty to proper use.

Since Jac is still scared
to go, I'm going to have

his big brother help him out.

Well, I need you to help Nanny
and try to get Jac to go potty.

OK.

I learned a lot from the Nanny.

Will was being
very, very helpful

where Jac was concerned.

Come on.

No.

Yeah, come on.

Let's go.

Now, I helped my little brother.

You want me to go first?

He actually went
in and showed him how

he goes pee-pee in the toilet.

I'll show you what
you're going to do.

We're going to close the
door so nobody comes in, OK?

And that worked.

And that was just the beginning.

For the rest of the
day, Jac continued

using the potty all by himself.

OK, family, I'm ready to go.

I just need Jac for a sec.

Hey, Jac, who's been
sleeping in his own bed?

Jac.

Yeah.

And who's going to keep
going pee-pee in the potty?

Me.

Is that you, Jac?

OK, give me a high five.

Can I have a hug?

I'm proud of Jac for
being so courageous.

OK, Will, what about you?

And Will is turning into the big
brother I always knew he was.

You're all going to stick
to your family schedule,

because Neil is
going to help you.

Because it's our schedule.

It's the family schedule,
not just Amy's schedule,

the Cubbison family schedule.

It's really amazing
how quick that we've

turned everything around with
the help of Nanny Stella.

It's just amazing to see
the difference in a week.

I didn't think it would
happen, but it's happened.

OK, I really do
have to go, so I'm

going to give Mom a big hug.

Thank you.

STELLA: I really hope
that Amy and Neil

keep working together as a
team, and it will all work out.

Keep up the good
work, Cubbison family.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

STELLA: Or I'll be back
when you least expect it.

NEIL: Goodbye.

AMY: OK.

Where is Nanny going?

AMY: She's going home.

Nanny came into our
house, helped us.

We're all better for it.

We're stronger.

I feel much more hopeful
because this was an opportunity

of a lifetime, and
I'm not going to just

go back to the way we were.

STELLA: I left La Jolla
thinking that the Cubbisons

would be fine.

But when I looked up and saw
that Neil was finally including

his family in his hobby, I knew
they wouldn't just be fine,

they'd be great.

Oh, my gosh, you
guys, come here.

"What a week it has been.

I'm sure you often wanted to
fly the coop, but you did not,

and I am proud of you.

To celebrate, enjoy this
trip to beautiful Hawaii.

Mahalo and aloha.

Love, Nanny Stella and all
the nannies at Nanny Central."

Cool, I just got a goosebump.

Cool.

AMY: Is that great?

We're going to Hawaii.
