Nanny Diaries & A-list Stars

Uncategorized

21 Jun
 

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a nanny to celebrities?

Let’s face it celebs manage their crazy lives because they have nannies too. LOTS of them.

Welcoming a baby into your life is such a pivotal moment, filled with so many happy emotions. There are so many aspects that will change in your life and household. Decorating the baby’s room, researching the best stroller, arranging childcare. It can send your entire world into a frenzy!

So, it goes without saying that when celebs have children it takes their lives to a whole new level, and hiring a nanny is first on their list. When A-lister families such as, Julia Roberts, Angelina Jolie, and Jessica Alba are searching for a nanny; just who do they hire, what are their rules for the children, and home; what are their special request.

In this blog piece I’ll explore a bit in the world of Hollywood Stars and their nannies. Celebrity nannies like all nannies help raise children and keep homes running smoothly. And while this position may sound fun and glamorous, some nannies handle beyond “extra” request from their A-lister moms.

According to forbes Julia Roberts, who has three children recently told Access Hollywood that she wouldn’t have been able to travel the world filming Eat, Pray, Love without the support of a “village,” which included her husband, Danny, friends, family, and oh, wait a second … a couple of “amazing women” who “help take care” of her three children. And when she was filming Eat, Pray, Love she also had her nannies wear red wigs while putting them to bed. Seems very strange? However, Roberts had good reason for this special request. She really hoped her children would not miss her while she was gone. I wonder if they bought it?

As one of Hollywood’s leading actresses and very well know for her humanitarian efforts. Naturally, she wants all her nannies to have a friendship with her and her children, and does not consider them as employees but as part of her diverse family. However, according to thehollywoodreporter her nannies must speak two languages, have college degrees primarily in education; among other requirements. All her nannies are paid quite generously highest salary reported was $150,000.

Finally, Jessica Alba best known for her baby care products, and founder of The Honest Company. She has a very important message for all new mothers. You shouldn’t take the new journey of parenthood alone. She owes so much to her nanny, and isn’t shy about singing her praises either! Alba took to Instagram refinery29 to show just how lucky she is in having Nanny Connie for 10 years and thanked her for showing her all the ropes. Alba admits it truly takes a village!

Dear Families and Nannies,

My name is Marybell, and I am the owner of Second City Nannies, a leading nanny placement agency in Chicago. I’ve committed 18 years to the childcare industry both in a classroom setting, and as a career nanny. I’m now solely focused on Second City Nannies while raising my 7-year-old son, and having fun with my oldest daughter who is 23 years old. These real word experiences have allowed me to gain a unique perspective in identifying a good match for both families and nannies. Therefore, creating happy nanny-family relationships and offering longevity.

Being a parent, I understand how hard we work to ensure the well-being and happiness of our children. I am keenly aware of the anxiety associated in finding a trustworthy nanny, and the thought of inviting someone new into your home. It truly is a huge investment both financially and emotionally. Since I manage every detail within the agency- you will get one on one, individual attention. I also offer an in-depth background check which is especially designed for childcare providers in mind. I pledge to exceed your expectations while ensuring your child is loved and safe.

To all the devoted nannies, I understand how hard you work and the emotional investment you put into your families as well. I personally know the paramount importance of being valued by the families you serve. This is why I am here to assist you in locating an amazing family that appreciates your skill set, knowledge, and dedication.

If you or someone you know is interested, please head over to my website, and apply.

Families can email me directly marybell@secondcitynannies.com

I look forward to being a part of your journey!
Marybell
