	Intro
	Scene	Moni doesn't have time to look after Lena, so she has hired the famous nanny Nele Nelenbroich. Moni hands Lena to her, but Lena is not reacting very positively to her. Rumpel overhears it and comes over to find out what's going on. He tells Nele that he is the best Grouch babysitter in the world. Meanwhile, Lena throws a plastic bucket at Nele and she starts to speak baby language to Lena. Rumpel asks her what she said and is told that Nele just told Lena not to throw things at adults, then Lena throws another sandbox item at Nele. Rumpel tells Nele that he doesn't think Lena understood that.
	Scene	Rumpel goes over to the sandbox and starts to hammer one of the toys on the side of the sandbox, and Lena quickly copies it. Moni returns and tells Rumpel to leave Lena alone and let Nele do her job. Rumpel is sure that he did what Lena wanted him to. After Moni leaves, Nele decides that it's time for some music and starts to play the flute. Neither Rumpel nor Lena likes the music and when Nele gets a little to close to Lena she pulls off Nele's glasses. Rumpel laughs and hands Lena the flute, and she starts to play.
	Scene	Moni goes out again to see what's going on. Nele tells Moni that Rumpel won't let her do her job properly. Rumpel tries to defend himself by saying that Lena is playing wonderful Grouch music. Moni tells Lena to stop, so she can concentrate on sorting her photos. Nele finds a rattle that Lena can play with quietly, but Rumpel leaves since he has a new idea.
	Scene	Lena isi sitting quitely with the rattle, when Rumpel arrives with an amplifier and plugs it in to the rattle. Just as Moni has completed her sorting, Rumpel turns the amplifier up to the highest setting, which is so high that Moni drops her photos. Moni again goes out to see what's going on. Rumpel tells her that Lena was bored by the rattle and wanted to make some noise with it. Nele then notices the photo that Moni has in her hand and quickly identifies it as wonderful rusty junk. Rumpel also takes a look and gets excited. It turns out that old rusty junk is Nele's hobby. Moni then suggests that they sort her photos and she will take care of Lena herself. Nele and Rumpel like that idea.
