Had enough of the constant battle to get your kids to eat, sleep and behave?

Are you exhausted?

Perhaps you need ABC's Super Nanny!

ABC is looking for challenged parents for a brand new Reality TV show!

ABC-TV is specifically looking for families with children (infants to teens) to take part in a new reality television series featuring one of the United Kingdom's top nannies.

Are your kids more of a challenge than you ever imagined?

Does your house need more than a new vacuum cleaner?

Using tried and tested techniques, ABC's Supernanny will work with you to help with even the toughest infants, kids and teens, and restore order to your household!

Their nanny will spend up to three weeks helping hassled parents sort out their family lives.

As well as taming tantrum-prone toddlers, settling sleepless babies or sorting out stubborn teenagers, Supernanny will also show parents how to achieve the best possible work-life balance, juggling their personal and professional lives with their parental responsibilities.

The series will be an intelligent, informative look at childcare and parenting in the 21st century — and will be shown on Prime Time.

If you are interested in taking your family to task, email ABC with your family's information.

Include:

- Names and ages of all family members and a family photo

- Describe your child/children's specific behavioral issues in detail and how you think we can help

- Tell us what you and your spouse do for a living

- Include your phone number and the city and state you live in.

Email the above information to: supernannyusa@yahoo.com
