This is the first book on caring for toddlers written by a high-profile private nanny, with practical tips and uplifting anecdotes to support overwhelmed parents – and entertain them, too!

After working with hundreds of toddlers over her two-decade career, TV's Nanny Amies has zeroed in on the most common sticky situations and the best techniques for dealing with them – from potty training to big days out.
