NEW YORK - It was an unusually honest ad for a live-in nanny, a 1,000-word tome beginning, "My kids are a pain."

But it worked, attracting a brave soul who's never been a nanny before.

In her advertisement on Craigslist, Rebecca Soodak wrote: "If you cannot multitask, or communicate without being passive aggressive, don't even bother replying."

Soodak is a mother of four on Manhattan's Upper East Side, and says in her ad: "I can be a tad difficult to work for. I'm loud, pushy and while I used to think we paid well, I am no longer sure."

Soodak eventually hired Christina Wynn, a 25-year-old University of Virginia graduate.

No word yet on whether a sequel to "The Nanny Diaries" is in the works.
