Searching for Mary Poppins

The hunt is officially on to find Mac the perfect nanny. I've been doing all kinds of research and I keep thinking if only Mary Poppins really existed we'd be so set! So, here is my ode to the perfect child caretaker. If only we can find her in Chicago instead of London!

Wanted:
A nanny for one adorable little boy


If you want this choice position
Have a cheery disposition

Rosy cheeks, no warts!

Play games, all sort

You must be kind, you must be witty

Very sweet and fairly pretty

Take me on outings, give me treats
Sing songs, bring sweets

Never be cross or cruel

Never give me castor oil or gruel

Love me as a son, not daughter
And never smell of barley water

If you won't scold and dominate me

I will never give you cause to hate me
I won't hide your spectacles

So you can't see

Put toads in your bed

Or pepper in your tea


Hurry, Nanny!
Many thanks
Sincerely, Mac
