Kindermädchen für Papa gesucht is a 1957 West German comedy film directed by Hans Quest and written by Curth Flatow and Eckart Hachfeld.

While Peter has a reputation as a womanizer in the family's chocolate company, Kurt is a teetotaler, a hypochondriac and a complete novice with women.

When she is about to respond to a newspaper employment ad for a nanny, Peter secretly connects her call to Kurt who invites Sabine home for an interview.

From a plain, unobtrusively clad secretary, she turns herself into a fashionably dressed woman with dazzling make-up.

Heinerle's real father appears and, mad with jealousy, turns on Kurt believing him to be his wife's secret lover.

Along with Die Unschuld vom Lande and Einmal eine große Dame sein, Kindermädchen für Papa gesucht was one of CCC-Film's three comedies for the 1957/58 season.

The journal film-dienst found that Hans Quest had "significantly cut back on refined humour ... in favour of blatant slapstick in almost every scene.

The 1990 Lexikon des Internationalen Films published by film-dienst qualifies Kindermädchen für Papa gesucht as an "exaggerated, expressionless farce built on proven mishmash criteria.
