Phoebe Figalilly or Mary Poppins?

If you had needed a nanny when you were young, would you have wanted Nanny or Mary Poppins? I think I would have preferred Nanny. Mary Poppins was more than a spoonful of sugar, she was cloyingly sweet. In fact, I would even have preferred the fictionalized Maria von Trapp from The Sound of Music over Mary Poppins.
