I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'nanny' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'yours truly's rushed back to assist' is the wordplay.
'yours truly's' becomes 'me's'.
'rushed' becomes 'run' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'back' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'to assist' becomes 'aid' (synonyms).
'mes'+'run'='mesrun'
'mesrun' backwards is 'nursem'.
'nursem'+'aid'='NURSEMAID'
