Plot
[edit]Melek Özbal [Fran Fine] (Gülben Ergen), fresh out of her job as a bridal consultant in her boyfriend's shop is working as a door-to-door cosmetics saleswoman when she stumbles onto the opportunity to become the nanny to the children of a wealthy media tycoon, Ömer Giritli [Maxwell Sheffield] (Kenan Işık). Once Melek realizes Giritli is not only wealthy but also a widower, she eagerly takes the job.
It's a situation of blue-collar meets blue blood, as Melek gives the prim-and-proper and his problem children a dose of "street-smart logic," helping them become a healthy, happy family. Melek discovers she's got a lot of work to do with the three Giritli youngsters. Dilara [Margaret "Maggie" Sheffield] (Sinem Kobal) is a pretty, yet insecure teenager in need of a boost in self-esteem. Convinced he doesn't need a nanny, Tolga [Brighton Sheffield] (Yaşar Abravaya) is a master at mischievous pranks and tormenting his sisters. Eight-year-old Duygu [Grace Sheffield] (Gökçe Uzuner) is a serious child who dotes on her daily sessions with her therapist. Proudly running the Giritli household is the butler Pertev [Niles] (Haldun Dormen), who watches all events with a bemused eye and levels problems with his quick wit. Pertev quickly recognizes Melek's gift at bringing warmth back to the family. Suzan [C.C. Babcock] (Seray Sever), Ömer's socialite business associate, views Melek with a mixture of skepticism and jealousy, as she has designs on the very available Giritli herself.
Apart from the name changes for the characters, and changes for the locations in Turkey, the episodes are identical to their American equivalents.

While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns.
