A Magical Nanny is a woman who is hired to look after children, but ends up having a profound effect on the whole family. She may have genuine magical powers or she may just have a magical effect on the household. Even children who have scared off a number of previous nannies can be tamed by a Magical Nanny. Magical Nannies come in two flavors: A free spirited nanny will often be seen in households with strict parents, who are often cold and neglectful toward the children. She will encourage them to be themselves and talk about The Power of Love. Eventually this message will spread to the parents, drawing the family together. This type of Magical Nanny is often musically talented. A sensible nanny will usually work for aloof or ineffectual parents with rambunctious children. She will be strict, but fair and impose a sense of structure on a family that badly needs it. Before long, the parents will be in awe of her — perhaps after a stage of resenting how their lavishness did not win the children's hearts but her firmness (and attention!) did — and any naughty children will have learned that behaving themselves can be fun. A sub-flavor includes magical nannies that are literally Magical Nannies. Often they will be a parody or even Deconstruction of the Ur-Example, Mary Poppins. While Magical Nannies are often threatened with the sack, they are not easy to get rid of. When their employment ends, it will be on their own terms. Typically they will decide that their work here is done or they will stay and marry the head of the household. (Note that they never become the Wicked Stepmother.) The latter is particularly common in the Romance Novel; indeed, the heroine may become the stepmother first and still fulfill the role of Magical Nanny. Compare Fairy Godmother. Contrast the Babysitter from Hell and the Badly Battered Babysitter. |

Polgara the Sorceress in Polgara the Sorceress, The Belgariad, and The Malloreon is a powerful sorceress that is well recognized as such when she isn't tending to more than two thousand years of little boys as their "Aunt Pol" who cooks, cleans and manages their lives for the better. Like Mary Poppins, she isn't necessarily free spirited, but is an extremely competent and magical nanny. | |

Dexter: Widowed Dexter hires Sonya in Season 5. She's a nurse and the only one together lady in line of Terrible Interviewees Montage. Dexter never, ever has a problem getting his nanny to look after Harrison, no matter how unpredictable his schedule is. Sonya eventually has enough of it, though. Jamie in Season 6. She's still a student and says Dexter pays her very well. Dexter says she's perfect for Harrison. In season 7, Jamie tries to find a new girlfriend for her employer. |

The Simpsons has Shary Bobbins, an obvious parody, who comes and temporarily transforms the family, only for them to revert to their former unruly selves. She then leaves, not because she thinks her work is done, but because she realizes they're hopeless cases. The episode closes with her getting sucked into a jet engine as she flies away. | |

Parodied in the Animaniacs segment "The Sound of Warners". As annoying as the nanny is, as Karmic Tricksters the Warners can't attack someone who hasn't hurt them first. So they pay Slappy to get rid of her. After meeting her, Slappy returns to the kids and tells them that this one will be on the house. Although for her trouble, the nanny gets blown into the household of a family that'll appreciate her more than the Warners did. The end of the episode has a Mary Poppins Expy arriving as her replacement — at which the Warners run screaming "Slappy!" | |

Discworld: Susan Sto Helit is naturally sensible and, upon leaving school, does a brief stint as a Magical Nanny in Hogfather. She is very Genre Savvy and promises herself "if she ever did find herself dancing on rooftops with chimney sweeps, she'd beat herself to death with her own umbrella." She's also significantly more violent than the average Magical Nanny. When the children complain of bogey-men in the closet or in the basement, she teaches them to face their fears... with vivid demonstrations involving a fireplace poker. If she's feeling generous, Susan just terrorizes the bogeys to the point that they won't even think about bothering her charges again. | |

Played with in Bedknobs and Broomsticks. The film is largely a Spiritual Successor to Mary Poppins and good witch Eglantine Price fits the trope in some ways, but she isn't a nanny; instead she's coerced into becoming a caregiver when some orphaned Blitz Evacuees are dropped off on her doorstep. The kids change her life as much as she does theirs, and by the end, she becomes their permanent adoptive mother. Julie Andrews nearly played this one too. | |

In Sabrina: The Animated Series, Uncle Quigley leaves the girls and tells them he's hired a nanny to look after them. They assume it'll be a Magical Nanny but it turns out she's a Drill Sergeant Nasty called Frau Strudel and they resort to magic to make her nicer. They go overboard and she turns into a parody of a Magical Nanny called Rainbow where she sells all their electronics to buy gongs and a Japanese sand garden, makes them eat grass and tree bark for dinner and tye-dyes the cat before abandoning all her clothes to become a "nature child." | |

Doctor Who plays with this idea a lot in the seasons Steven Moffat was showrunner for: Mentioned briefly in the episode "A Christmas Carol". Having gone back in time to try to change the life of a scrooge-character for the better by destroying his Freudian Excuse, he briefly claims to be his new baby sitter. The Eleventh Doctor finally becomes one in "The Doctor, the Widow, and the Wardrobe". Clara Oswin Oswald is shown to be leading a double life as barmaid and nanny in The Snowmen, with her nanny persona being an almost spot-on impersonation of Julie Andrews's Mary Poppins. Her present day counterpart is also a nanny when she first meets the Doctor, and takes her charges on an adventure with the Doctor in "Nightmare in Silver" (admittedly, because they blackmailed her into it). Missy, the Big Bad of Series 8 (in which she creates a new army of Cybermen from the dead of humanity, posing as a kindly steward of "Heaven") and a central character in the Twelfth Doctor's Myth Arc, has mannerisms and an appearance that are a grotesque parody of the cinematic Mary Poppins, down to the umbrella. This is taken to its natural conclusion in the Expanded Universe short story "Teddy Sparkles Must Die!" (The Missy Chronicles): Missy becomes a "magical" nanny to a trio of siblings in the early 20th century, though most of their adventures are facilitated unwillingly by the teddy bear-esque, reality-altering alien she's kidnapped. When the now-grown kids realize they were manipulated into becoming pawns in her latest evil scheme, they and Teddy have a devil of a time trying to undo it. The punchline is that as part of setting things right, Teddy rewrites reality to turn Missy into the inspiration for Mary Poppins, meaning that a crowd of humans recognizes her with delight and insists that no matter how much she may claim to be Card-Carrying Evil, she's really good at heart, leading her to leave in disgust. |

Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, whose cures for bad behaviors like selfishness or not wanting to go to bed are based on the philosophy of "give bratty kids what they want, and make them regret it"). If used in real life, such cures would probably result in a lawsuit and/or emotional scarring rather than making anyone good little children. Interestingly, while some of Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's ideas (like the Radish Cure) involve fairly reality-based (if improbable) foundations, she also has a number of magical powders, candies, pills, and liquids which can make children turn invisible, lose their voices, or literally become idiots. The only explanation as to how she got this is that her husband found them from his days of pirating. In the series Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's Farm, the kids are mostly cured by being dropped off at the titular farm and spending a few weeks learning to adapt to life there. This inevitably leads to a situation in which the child must overcome their issue. | |
