With Matthew Toronto occupying the director’s chair, Lifetime’s ‘My Nanny Stole My Life’ is a thriller drama film that acquaints us with a new mother named Molly, who struggles to deal with postpartum depression after the birth of her baby daughter. While she tries her best to take care of her newborn and be there for her daughter, it becomes exhausting and almost unbearable for her with the recurring nightmares, anxiety, and paranoia that come with depression. When all this takes a toll on her, she decides to employ a nanny and return to work.
Molly’s online support group recommends a nanny named Nicci. After hiring her, she seems the ideal fit for her daughter. However, with time, there is a significant shift in Nicci’s attitude, and the mother begins to sense a negative vibe from her new nanny. When she delves deeper, Molly learns that Nicci has been scheming to steal her daughter and husband. Unfortunately, when she talks about it with her trusted ones, nobody believes her due to her postpartum depression. Originally titled ‘She Wants My Baby,’ the movie’s dark themes are complemented by the dark visuals, keeping the viewers on the edge of their seats. Most of the story unfolds in Molly’s residence, which acts as another character.
