Million Dollar Nannies Tell All: Spoiled Kids, Crazy Demands & More
‘Million Dollar Nannies’ Reveal Rich Parents’ Craziest Rules, Spoiled Kids’ Demands & More
Forget $10 an hour, because these aren't your average babysitters.
The stars of Freeform's new reality series Million Dollar Nannies are taking fans behind the curtain to reveal what it's really like working for the ultra wealthy and their ultra spoiled kids (silver spoons included).
"It's different expectations," Leah Barrs—who previously nannied for the Kardashians—told E! News in an exclusive interview ahead of the show's June 17 premiere. "When you're with a 'normal' family, middle-class, it's not as fast-paced. You're not asked to do outrageous, crazy requests."
And these millionaires and billionaires expect their staff to handle much more than just playdates and diaper duty.
"I always used to joke I'm the kids' personal assistant," Leah continued. "You're taking over travel, you're doing their closets, you're in charge of school schedules and pickup and drop offs and extracurricular activities. It's so much more beyond going to the house and making sure the kids have fun and keeping them alive."
This season, viewers will follow along as Leah assembles a team of elite caretakers in Ibiza, Spain, a hot spot for jet-setting families with young kids. To prove they're the go-to nanny agency for the top one percent, these childcare professionals spare no expense when it comes to coordinating luxurious activities for their pint-size clients.
"Sometimes, because the money is endless, I would put on summer camp," Leah explained. "I had a graffiti guy come, I had a water slide going into the pool. I would throw the craziest things just because we can."
In addition to catering to the kids' every whim, the cast's daily to-do lists often include laundry, cleaning, closet organizing, grocery shopping, errands and even cooking gourmet meals with top-tier ingredients (all while keeping the young ones' picky eating habits in mind).
And these children of the mega-rich aren't dining on chicken nuggets and Kraft mac 'n' cheese.

As Leah's costar Olivia McMahon teased, one young girl she cares for on the show has a taste for only the finer foods in life.
"If you ask her what her favorite food is and it's caviar," Olivia told E!. "What 9-year-old loves caviar? But since she's been so exposed to that world to begin with, that's just something that's natural for them."
But catering to five-star palates is a walk in the park after surviving the interview process. As Olivia learned first-hand, picky parents can have a seemingly endless list of rules and requirements for prospective staffers, including no red nail polish, covering up cleavage, speaking multiple languages, no profanity and having expert knowledge of high-end designer brands.
While some are do-able, others not so much.
"I can control not swearing, I can control keeping your kids safe, I can control what I wear in front of your kid," she noted, "but if you have a problem with my tattoos, that's on you. I'm probably not going to want to work for a family like that anyways. If you need me to change my nail polish, I think that's a little crazy."

But, at the end of the day, the perks of the job usually outweigh the negatives.
"Not only are you traveling for free, the families cover everything," Olivia explained. "They're covering your airfare, they're covering you stay, their covering your food and most of the time there's a stipend too. For me, it opened up the world of flying private as well."
And skipping TSA security is just the start. On top of six-figure salaries, Olivia has received bonuses in the form of designer duds and priceless fashion freebies.
"Anything that the mom didn't want I got," she recounted. "And when I say hand-me-downs, they're not hand-me-downs. It was a Cartier bracelet and she was like, 'I already have three of them, do you want this?' Or a Louis [Vuitton] bag or a Chanel. Yeah, I will obviously take that, thank you."
Step inside Olivia and Leah’s jet-setting lifestyles when Million Dollar Nannies premieres tonight, June 17, on Freeform and streams June 18 on Hulu.
