Plot
After discovering that she is losing her hair at an alarming rate, Marge visits Dr. Hibbert, who informs her that stress is the cause. The Simpsons decide to hire a nanny to perform housework and childcare, but have trouble finding the right one. Bart and Lisa sing a song about the ideal nanny. When a woman glides from the sky with a magical umbrella and introduces herself as Shary Bobbins, she seems perfect and is hired.
Shary proves helpful for the Simpson family. Marge's stress subsides and her hair grows back. As the reformed family sits down to a perfect dinner, Shary declares her work done. After leaving the house, she sees Homer strangling Bart, Maggie trying to douse a fire and Marge losing her hair again. With the family reverting to its previous state of dysfunction, Shary is forced to stay.
Soon the family treats her rudely and loses interest in her zest for life and zealous reform. Declaring that the Simpsons will be the death of her, she becomes depressed and starts to cry, drink, and channel her misery into her singing. After realizing the effect the Simpsons have had on their nanny, Marge admits to Shary that nothing can change them. The Simpsons declare they are happy the way they are through song. Shary accepts this and leaves using her magical umbrella. Homer suggests they might see her again someday; unbeknownst to them, she is killed after being sucked into a passing jet engine.
