A teenager getting a nanny job is boring, no matter how stoked she is about it.
A teenager on the run with a baby, who needs to lie low because she is pursued by authorities for reasons we haven't yet been told? THAT is interesting.

Well, the blurb isn't just about a teenager getting a nanny job. It's about what goes wrong at that job.
A teenager on the run with a baby who needs to lie low because she's pursued by authorities for reason we haven't been told yet?
I can't see how that would work.
Seventeen-year-old Annie Rebarchek is on the run with a baby. The police are closing in on her.
I wouldn't know how to do it.
