Super Nanny!

So the Super Nanny is filming in Lincoln, NE (my hometown) and the city is all abuzz. It's second reality show in a year's time. Extreme Makeover built a Mega Mansion in a rundown neighborhood about this time last year.

Its an interesting contrast, Makeover comes in and builds this $500,000 house and across the street is a house that is literally leaning to one side. Brings in all the equipment, marching bands, thousands of volunteers and I believe even put up the neighbors in hotels for the week of building because they were so loud.

Super Nanny is quiet and understated, doesn't want to divulge the name of the family she is working with so they can maintain their privacy for the time being and even takes a day of vacation so she can go to the city mission and teach a parenting workshop. Evidently she does this in most towns that she goes to and usually the media doesn't find out. She wouldn't allow the media to film the workshop or any of the questions to maintain privacy and help the mother's in attendance feel comfortable.

I like her... but then again, I like most anyone with a british accent... they sound so smart!
