Just before Celeste finishes her year of teacher training, the school decides not to keep her on. Her supervisor recommends a job as an au pair in New York—something she never imagined for herself. But she needs a job, so she accepts the position with Richard and his two children. It turns out the children have a knack for getting rid of their au pairs quickly, and Celeste also manages to make a rather poor first impression on Richard. However, her positive attitude slowly breaks down the children's resistance, and her unconventional teaching methods start to show results. But does Richard want her to stay?
The film works well as a romantic story. My only objection is the 19-year age difference between the actors playing Celeste and Richard—something that is completely ignored in the film but noticeable.
