Family is looking for a nanny and is offering a $129,000 salary
Hey monkeys,
The title might make you whisper "What?" under your breath, but the six-figure salary isn't all that is being offered. Other perks include access to a variety of cars (Maserati, Porsche, etc.) and meals made by a Michelin-starred chef (Gordon Ramsey-level chefs). Could you imagine all of that for being a nanny to four home-schooled kids?
However, the qualifications to just apply are a bit...specific.
Despite the appealing benefits, the family makes clear that the job is demanding. In addition to 13-hour workdays, the position also requires international travel as frequently as three times a week. The right person for the job has to look forward to jet-setting — with four kids in tow — among homes in London, Barbados, Atlanta, and Cape Town, South Africa.To be considered, however, applicants must have a degree in child psychology and 15 years' experience as a nanny, but no children of their own. The discerning family has high expectations for the successful candidate, including certification in self-defense, a clean driving record, and no drugs or binge drinking outside work hours.
Ultimately, impressing the parents is only the first step of the interview process — the kids have to sign off on the nanny as well.
Thoughts on this? If you had the qualifications, would you apply for the job?
Thanks for reading.

$129K sounds fair
15 years experience? I wonder what the market rate is for high-end nannies. What you think Lloyd is/was paying for nannies?
I wonder what the exit ops are for this?
A big sexual harassment settlement.
Well, some private tutors are making obscene amounts of money (relative to teaching in general) in the wealthier areas of NYC / London / etc. Probably a lot less stressful than following / parenting their kids for 13 hours a day.
You sure do love articles.
Wait what's this ... it also said the father requires that the nanny is a champion bareback bull rider. What the ...
Odd angle they're taking on the nanny pitch. "Okay, so we need to fill a job whose major function is to nurture... let's talk all about our bling bling"
The degree in child psychology raises a red flag.
London is awesome, Caribbean home I could understand, Cape town is eh but whatever, but seriously Atlanta?? I really question this families real estate choices, and will not be pursuing this opportunity.
Georgia has many awesome plantations and massive estates
Is this one of the white families from "Get Out?
I see that the caveat is that the kids will need to sign off on the nanny as well. Lol. No shot. That nanny can have 20 years of experience and a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and still be rejected because one of those idiot booger eating children can be in a bad mood and disapprove.
This is provided on the job, then?
Fuck no. 13 hours a day, 7 days a week is 2 full time jobs, or less than 65k / year.
I would do it. Sounds easier than banking, and sounds like I'd be able to save a ton of money.
Agreed. Another perk: Improved vision. Don't have to stare at a screen all day.
My Mexican illegal nanny was a complete sweetheart when I was a kid and my parents paid her $200 a week 10 years ago. fuck all these qualifications.
fuck no. I will take a pissed off Partner/MD (or two) over four snot filled germ bags any day of the week.
I'd like to think Geoffrey from Fresh Prince of Bel Air was paid similarly, and at least got treated better.
Some people just don't get that blood runs thicker than water.
I mean I would not pay my mother to watch my future kids, that's just what moms do.... but then again, if I made enough money I would make sure my mom doesn't work if she doesn't want to. You seem like you have some issues that need to be worked out with your sister, good luck.
Just remember this. If you're a girl and born 10/10 in the looks department, you're already wealthy. Doesn't matter if your parents are lawyers or janitors.
And you can be that if I was hiding a $130k/yr nanny, she better look like a high fashion supermodel.
I had a roommate for a year who was a nanny and did some modeling on the side. Most of her friends were either nannys, models or a combo of the two. She was nice enough, but we were never really that close. Of course the eye candy was nice once in a while, but I couldn't really handle the drama and overall lack of any thoughts.
I know someone who took a job like this once... they replaced someone 6 months on the job and lasted maybe 4 months.. end of the day its a great gig until you piss off the mother.. then she sacks you and repeats process...
I guess all the people getting the idea of a smoking hot sex slave nanny are ignoring the degrees and the FIFTEEN YEARS EXPERIENCE (AT A MINIMUM) this family requires. This nanny would be north of 40 not the smoking hot 20-something part-time model part-time nanny type that accountingbyday roomed with.
