When you watch the hit ABC show, do you wish you could have someone like that help you?

Someone to swoop into your home and whip you and your kids into shape?

Moms and dads are catching on to a new trend of one-on-one help. It's not quite Super Nanny, but it's close. Shae Taylor knows all about it. For her, motherhood is a full time job plus overtime.

"I'm not the busiest person on the face of the Earth, I know that," Taylor says. "But I keep myself busy. I've always kept myself busy." She and her husband have three daughters.

Five-year-old Jazlynn, whom she describes this way: "You probably noticed she's always jumping and twirling and moving." Of 3-year-old McKell, Taylor says, "She's just a sensitive soul. She's my cuddler. Intuitive."

And Adrie is two.

"She's still pretty young. We're still getting to know her," Taylor says. "When Adrie was born, things came to an apex. My life became crazy."

Shae also runs her own dance studio with more than 50 students. She handles choreography, costuming, coaching and more. Sometimes, she needs help holding it all together.

That's where the coach comes in.

Karen Bierdeman is a friend who can offer support, advice and insight at $85 an hour. Bierdeman is one of a growing trend of former teachers, social workers and nurses who have found a new career path -- as a parent coach.

She's certified by the only year-long graduate level program in the country for parent coaches - The Parent Coaching Institute in Bellevue.

They don't turn out super nannies. "We're not coaching in front of the children," said Gloria DeGaetano, PCI's founder and CEO. "We're not going into the home. It's a very different model. PCI Parent Coaching is like coaching executives."

That means weekly phone calls to help Mom and Dad focus on dreams and goals.

"What we're doing is helping parents be the best parents they can be through some challenging situations," Bierdeman says. "We're not necessarily putting out little fires and telling parents how to do it. We're helping them customize what they want."

For Shae, having a parent coach means having someone to lean on who's not in the family and who's not judgmental. "For me that's the biggest gift. I can relax," she says.

Even in a house with three active, energetic, different young girls.
