Barbara Kline

About: Kline is the founder of White House Nannies, a nanny placement firm in Washington DC. In her book, she focuses on busy DC couple Janette and David as well as Emma, the nanny Kline matched them with.

Stories feel repetitive as they mostly consist of "this nanny/family is great" or "this family/nanny is awful".… (plus d'informations)
