Nanny 911 is better. Click here to see why

1. On Nanny 911, it isn't the same nanny all the time. It's 1 of 3, not 1 of 1.

2. Jo does the same crap with every family basically. She starts a "naughty chair", or tells parents how to put their kids to bed without any problems, in nearly every single episode.

3. Jo really isn't as good of a nanny as the 3 nannies on Nanny 911 are.

Supernanny is consistent with her techniques which make her a great nanny!

Supernanny is MUCH MUCH better than Nanny 911. I can't stand those nannies.

While I also watch Nanny 911 I disagree. They are good nannies, but Jo is my favorite. On Nanny 911 they seem to be more "showy". in that they always show someone staring and laughing at them when they are walking to the family home. Then when they ring the doorbell, every single person in the family looks towards the door, including the pets! As much as I love Deb, she embarrasses me when she cries every single time it is time to say goodbye. She has a good heart, but I wish she would not do it every time.

I always find myself wondering how Jo would handle the families that Nanny 911 has. I sometimes say to myself, Jo would have done that better. JMO.

If everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

I have only seen a few eps on Nanny 911 and I like suppernanny better. She is consistant with her techniques.

God Bless!!

I know that's exactly what I'm thinking right now.
I'm in the middle of an episode of Nanny 911 from Season 1. Nanny Yvonne (the first Yvonne, not the second). The one-hour show is 3/4 over and I've barely seen her step in. She just stands to the side, arms crossed and shaking her head disapprovingly. And although the show is ending and they're ARE more well-behaved, I can see that there is still much work to be done, and Nanny Yvonne is getting ready to leave. Right now, as I type, they are running a bit wild in a clothes store. And dad just lost one of the kids. Yvonne is not even ON the trip with them! I guess she just stayed at the house. O.o (LOL) Jo on Supernanny would definitely be addressing the childrens' behavior in public and teaching dad how to deal with that better.

All I've really seen Yvonne do is encourage dad to give them baths, paint their toenails, use a lower tone of voice, and the oldest child to set the table. She hasn't taught the family any solid techniques. Something they can use in the future. Hmm. :-)

Now she's standing to the side nodding approvingly. (Queue touching end-credit music. lol)

Oh.... and Nanny 911 just gave the family a brand new BATHROOM. Yes, they are adding a brand new bathroom to the home for them.

Jo would've given them a schedule and taught them how to more effectively share and utilize their space. And probably would've set up consequences for using too much bathroom time, or made it a game for the kids to get their showers/baths done in allotted amount of time.

I have to disagree... I have only seen Jo be abused by a child once (9 year old Brit girl), whereas all three of the Nanny 911 nannies not only been abused but they ALLOW it to happen and they expect the parent to help with it. ER... the parent has no clue what to do, that's why you are there!

I would rather have one person with techniques that work across the board than three people with different techniques and choose one (what happens if they chose the wrong one?? episode is wasted!)

funny how the "crap" ends up working...

I don't know what the problem is with having Jo use the same techniques. If it works then there isn't a problem.

I've seen both shows and always enjoyed Supernanny a lot more.
