About the episode
Marge's hair starts falling out from the stress of waiting on her lazy family, so the Simpsons go looking for a nanny. Shary Bobbins drifts down by umbrella, takes the job, and uses cheerful songs to get Bart and Lisa doing their chores. When the family slides back into its old habits, she despairs and flies away after they insist in song that they like themselves as they are.
