The downsides to being a celebrity nanny
We have all seen the cool videos on MTV and other entertainment television shows of how cool it is to work with celebrities: red carpet events, flying around on private jets, getting to live in the guest house of a mega-mansion, etc. But rarely does the public get to see what happens behind the scenes with private staff, especially nannies.
Being a nanny to a celebrity certainly does have its perks, but it also has some drawbacks, especially if you end up being the reason for a celebrity divorce. Whoops!

What is it like to be a nanny to a celebrity in 2025?
We've written this article to be a cautionary tale because we only place staff with celebrities when we are confident that the candidate is 100% sincere. In other words, we know how to measure whether a nanny is authentic or opportunistic.
Our screening process for celebrity nannies is especially important these days because there have been several high-profile cases where the nanny and the celebrity "crossed the line" and had a romantic relationship. We want to avoid that at all costs.
Working with celebrities as a nanny is very "up close and personal." When you work side-by-side with a celebrity, you're going to learn everything about each other; and sometimes emotions get in the way.
