Introduction

The movie begins with a widower, Mr Brown, who is left with 7 rowdy kids after his other half's unfortunate death. The children are notorious for chasing away any prospective nannies with their mischief.

Simply when things appear helpless for the Browns, a mysterious figure, Nanny McPhee, appears at their door, wielding a magical walking cane. With her a little terrifying look and mystique, she is unlike any other baby-sitter the children have actually encountered. She presents herself as a "government baby-sitter" and states she exists to take charge.
