My Nanny's Secret (2009 TV Movie)
8/10
The Good Nanny is also a Little Fibber
10 December 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Atypical of the generic Lifetime "Nanny" film, the protagonist Claudia is an extremely decent nanny to little Aidan, the son of Evan and Julia Tyrrell. But Claudia must face a dilemma when the Tyrrells' home is robbed and Julia's father Kurt is killed by the assailant. The evidence initially points to Claudia's wayward brother Carter, and the past criminal record of Carter would appear to be the Nanny's secret.

The screenplay was skillfully conceived to keep the audience guessing about who could have been the intruder. It is clear that the robbery was an inside job. Claudia is convinced that Carter is not a murderer. But the only other person with knowledge of the Tyrrells is Claudia's boyfriend Drew. And Drew lied to Claudia about being at a poker game on the night of the break-in.

The inner circle of Claudia, Carter, and Drew are all guilty of telling little fibs. Claudia's conduct was especially reprehensible when she withheld information about her brother to Detective Drabant. Drew never told Claudia that his ex-girlfriend Maddie has been harassing him. And Carter has a substantial track record as a pathological liar.

After Claudia is fired by the Tyrrells, she must now go on the offensive to find out who is perp. Somehow, all roads seem to lead to Drew's house, which he shares with a roommate, Jace Matthew Stevenson. Is it possible that Jace needs to be added to the elite group of liars?

The quick-thinking Claudia will call in her markers from her friend Nicole to hack into a bank account that will point her in the right direction to solve the mystery of what is truly at the heart of "The Nanny's Secret."
