Luckily, these children have a fun-loving nanny who is ready to go on their adventure with them.

Alessia Cara voices the oldest daughter, Jane, while Will Forte voices the son, Tim, and Vincent Tong voices the twins, who are both named Barnaby as their parents didn’t take the time to give them individual names.
