It sounds like the role of a Kardashian nanny comes with a unique set of expectations and, at times, demanding requirements. For years, nannies have been integral to the Kardashian-Jenner family, playing a significant role in their children’s upbringing. Despite the glamorous lifestyle associated with the family, the job of being a Kardashian nanny can be both challenging and rewarding, with strict rules on how nannies present themselves, their behavior around the children, and even how they interact with the family members.

Some former nannies and staff have shared that the Kardashians, especially Kim and Kris, have precise expectations. For instance, Kim reportedly has a handbook and uniform requirements, ensuring that all staff maintain a certain aesthetic, including a rule against nannies being “excessively physically attractive,” to avoid outshining the Kardashians themselves. The family’s nannies often have to be on call at all hours and ready to handle various requests, from caring for the children to organizing schedules and activities, all while maintaining a polished, discreet presence.

Past accounts, such as the “Malibu Nanny” who helped raise the Kardashian kids, reveal the pressure of working in the family’s fast-paced and public environment. According to her, she often felt nervous about the high standards and potential for quick repercussions if things went awry. Additionally, there have been instances on Keeping Up with the Kardashians where Kris hired unconventional babysitters, like an adult actress for comedic effect, highlighting the family’s sometimes playful but risky approach to caretaking.

In some cases, these nannies become almost parental figures, deeply bonded to the children they care for. Alabama Barker, for instance, shared a heartfelt story about her long-term nanny, Adella, illustrating how some celebrity nannies essentially become part of the family. However, this deep connection also contrasts with the strict hiring protocols and challenging conditions some Kardashian nannies reportedly face, as they must balance family closeness with professional distance.

In recent years, Kim, a single mother of four, has reportedly increased her reliance on nannies, especially with her busy work schedule. Despite her strict standards, it seems the nannies are a key support system, allowing the Kardashians to manage their complex, high-profile lives while providing their children with stability.
