Answer: Washington

This information can be taken from Emma's school bus. It has the words Puget Sound Elementary written on the side. As far as I could discover this is a fictional school, as the Puget Sound area is more than one city in Washington. School buses usually have the county or parish name on the side, as the bus belongs to the school district and not one school in particular.

Answer: Madelina Zima

Zima, born on September 16th, 1985 in New Haven, Connecticut, was cast as Emma Bartel. Emma was excited when her parents told her she would have a nanny and she took a liking to the woman they hired, Peyton Flanders. Emma was seen midway through the movie at the surprise party which Peyton and Michael organized and was distressed when she noticed the party did not cheer her mom up. Emma was upset when Michael and Claire told Peyton to leave their home but was then shocked a little bit later when she saw Peyton hit her mother on the back with a shovel. Peyton told Emma to get Joe, so the three of them could go off and be a family. Emma mentioned to her that Joe was in his crib in his room so Peyton went there and noticed Joe was not in the crib. Emma told Peyton that she was not her mom (Peyton's aim was to replace Claire as Emma's mom) and then locked her inside Joe's room. Zima had roles in the movies "A Cinderella Story", "Mr. Nanny" and "Looking for Sunday".

Answer: John de Lancie

de Lancie, born in 1948 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, had the small role of Dr. Mott. Dr. Mott was a gynecologist and was first seen when he gave Claire an examination. Dr. Mott asked Claire how she was doing that day and Claire informed him she was fine. He commented that Claire was pregnant with her second child and joked that she was a pro at pregnancy. Dr. Mott noticed on Claire's medical chart that she had asthma so he asked her if she had any breathing problems as of late but Claire told him she did not. During the exam, Dr. Mott felt around Claire's body inappropriately and this upset her. Claire turned Dr. Mott in to the state medical board and this encouraged other women who were also sexually assaulted by Dr. Mott to do the same. In Dr. Mott's final scene, he was seen watching a news report regarding what he had done and this upset him so much that he put a pistol in his mouth.
