A young woman takes a job as a nanny for an impossibly wealthy family, thinking she’s found her entrée into a better life—only to discover instead she’s walked into a world of deception and dark secrets.
Nanny needed. Discretion is of the utmost importance. Special conditions apply.
When Sarah Larsen finds the notice, posted on creamy card stock in her building’s lobby, one glance at the exclusive address tells her she’s found her ticket out of a dead-end job—and life.
At the interview, the job seems like a dream come true: a glamorous penthouse apartment on the Upper West Side of NYC; a salary that adds several zeroes to her current income; the beautiful, worldly mother of her charge, who feels more like a friend than a potential boss. She’s overjoyed when they offer her the position and signs the NDA without a second thought.
In retrospect, the notice in her lobby was less an engraved invitation than a waving red flag. For there is something very strange about the Bird family. Why does the beautiful Mrs. Bird never leave the apartment alone? And what happened to the nanny before her? It soon becomes clear that the Birds’ odd behaviors are more than the eccentricities of the wealthy.
But by then it’s too late for Sarah to seek help. After all, discretion is of the utmost importance.
She is represented by Rachel Beck with Liza Dawson Associates with her books appealing to readers of The Good Girl by Mary Kubica, The Marriage Lie by Kimberly Belle, The Mother-in-Law by Sally Hepworth, and Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty.
Georgina has been writing since she was a child. Notebooks & printed pages filled with stories: adventures growing up in New Orleans and tales from Malaysia & England where her family lives. After graduating from Louisiana State University, she enjoyed a career in marketing & communications and founded Susie's Wish non-profit which sends patients with life threatening illnesses to the beach. She spends time with her husband and their combined family of four sons watching scary movies and basketball tournaments and is thrilled to be a full-time author.

First, I want to thank Georgina Cross, Bantam, Penguin Random House and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.
WOW!! WOW!! WOW!! Georgina Cross’s Nanny Needed is one of the most twisted, creepy, and has the most shock value of any book she has ever written! This by far is my favorite that she has written!! She just blew me away with her cryptic storyline! It is a must read for anyone who loves psychological thrillers as much as I do!
Georgina Cross would love to dedicate this book to Nicole Angeleen. Without her friendship and insight, Nanny Needed wouldn't be the book it is today.
I absolutely loved the cover design that Dana Leigh Blanchette created! Great job!
Ohh Sarah this was not your average Nanny job OH NO!! Far from it actually! Sarah and fellow readers will realize why you must always read the fine print when signing documents!!
As much as it was insanely twisted, intense, mysterious, suspenseful and oh so creepy it was incredibly sad too! My heart couldn’t help but to ache for all that Collete had been through and parts were hard to read due to that.
Georgina kept me totally engaged as she is an incredible story teller! How she came up with this storyline I would just love to know!
Nanny Needed as the book progressed it got more and more intense and yet heartbreaking at the same time.
This is one book that I would kill to see on NetFlix or The Lifetime Channel as It would get a huge audience!! One thing for sure is this will be a best seller for Georgina!!
