Diary of a Babysitter is an American comedy-drama co-directed by Robert Pulcini and Shari Springer Berman. Adapted from the novel of the same name by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus, the film tells the story of Annie Braddock, a young graduate played by Scarlett Johansson, who discovers the underbelly of the daily lives of wealthy Manhattan families when she becomes a nanny. Between sarcasm and emotion, this initiatory tale tackles social discrepancies, the need for recognition and human relationships, while blending humor and social criticism.
The Babysitter's Diary will air on Max starting on May 21, 2025.
Through Annie's eyes, Diary of a Babysitter paints a satirical and often tender portrait of affluent Manhattan families. As she becomes attached to a little boy deprived of affection, she observes the neuroses and contradictions of her employers, played by Laura Linney and Paul Giamatti. The film also follows her personal emancipation and her first steps into the adult world, all with a tone both light and biting.
Synopsis: A young graduate, Annie becomes a nanny for the X's, a wealthy Manhattan family. This new world, as fascinating as it is confusing, will transform her life.
Diary of a Babysitter could appeal to those who appreciate dramatic comedies with a social edge, in the vein of The Devil Wears Prada or Lady Bird. The film is aimed at teenage and adult audiences interested in class dynamics, emancipation and female characters in search of identity.
The Diary of a Babysitter is a comedy-drama starring Scarlett Johansson, which explores social contrasts with irony and emotion through the story of a young woman confronted with the reality of the working world and the privileges of the New York elite.
