Well, no not really… Unfortunately we don’t to the best of our knowledge have it listed on our site, but feel free to go and have a look in case it’s there!
What we’re really interested in is the requirements they, and other celebs have for the person who will be looking after their little bundles, and not everyone has the luxury of bringing their old nanny out of retirement like Prince William.
So Beyoncé and Jay-Z want a French speaker who is happy to travel. They’ll also almost certainly have the reasonable requirement that you maintain strict confidentiality, and that would include protecting little Blue Ivy from nosy journalists and paparazzi, and that you provide top-notch care for their little princess.
It seems languages are a pretty common requirement for celeb nannies. It’s got to help with the travelling, although Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin took it to extremes wanting a tutor to speak not only one but FOUR languages to their 5 year old, including Latin and Greek. Brad Pitt and Angeline Jolie insist that their nannies (yes, plural, each child has one) have a degree in child development or education and speak that child’s native language, which considering the multi-cultural make-up of their family we think is a lovely idea.
Sometimes the requirements can get a little out of hand. Alanis Morisette was in the news for reportedly insisting her nanny worked 12 hour shifts without any break to eat or go to the loo unless someone else was in the room with the (sleeping) child. Although 24/7 cover is definitely not that unusual, after all the stars are out at all hours of the night and someone has to babysit, most employers will at least appreciate that a nanny who faints from hunger or is desperate to use the bathroom isn’t going to be the most effective caregiver and celebrity nannies often work in teams. Going to back to little Blue Ivy, she apparently has 6.
Although celebrities, like everyone else, want to give their kids the best start in life (hence the French speaker for that linguistic head start), what’s most important is that their children are safe and well-cared for when they can’t be around, just like everyone else.
Here at Nannyjob we say GOOD LUCK with finding the best possible nanny for Blue Ivy, and if that turns out to be you, we understand that you won’t be able to let us know!
