With a hectic schedule and four children, it’s understandable that Kim Kardashian employs nannies to help out. Since welcoming her first child, North West, Kardashian has relied on nighttime help, emphasizing her need for ample sleep: “Eight to ten hours are crucial for Kim’s well-being,” a source disclosed (RadarOnline via HuffPost). This help is crucial, as the hired night nurse attends to any needs of the baby while she rests.
Post-divorce from Kanye “Ye” West, Kardashian’s rules for her children’s nannies have become even stricter. She ensures that her nannies accompany Chicago, North, Psalm, and Saint West on trips for consistent supervision, and they must adhere to a strict set of guidelines, according to The U.S. Sun. The children’s schedule encompasses their bedtime, meals, and even sugar intake. Additionally, the authenticity of these protocols has many fans relieved they aren’t part of her nannying team.
Nanny Wardrobe Restrictions
Following her split from Kanye West, Kim’s Calabasas residence is a masterclass in minimalism, favoring grays and whites. Unsurprisingly, she has extended this color scheme to her nannies, requiring them to dress in neutral tones, as revealed by a source to Life & Style.
Kardashian discussed this requirement on Angie Martinez’s podcast, sharing that her staff must follow a specific dress code, limited to shades of gray, black, and khaki. Interestingly, no nannies have objected thus far. She humorously added that they enjoy the allowance of “dress down days” on their birthdays, when they can wear whatever they choose.
Jewelry Restrictions for Nannies
While Kim Kardashian enjoys her extravagant jewelry, her nannies must follow a no-jewelry policy while caring for her kids, as reported by Voz. This rule is even applicable to her children and any guests. Kardashian instituted the policy following a traumatic robbery in Paris during Fashion Week in 2016, where she was bound and robbed of jewelry worth millions.
Ever since the incident, Kardashian has expressed concerns about trust in her staff, contemplating replacing them to ensure her children’s safety not because of their performance, but due to trust issues. On a talk show with Ellen DeGeneres, Kardashian reflected on her hesitation to wear jewelry again, stating her uncertainty about feeling secure wearing valuables post-robbery (via People).
Nannies On Call
Working as a nanny for a celebrity can seem attractive due to its perks, like traveling in luxury and receiving designer clothing. However, if you’re hired by Kim Kardashian, expect to be available at her convenience. A source shared with Radar that they employ a full team who are always on standby, and while traveling, they often take a nanny to assist, accumulating monthly expenses that can range between $50,000 to $100,000.
As of 2022, an insider revealed to Radar that each nanny earned about $100,000 a year, emphasizing that their expenses have been significant since the birth of their daughter Chicago. Despite the high salary, the expectation of being constantly available makes this sum feel less rewarding.
