Working for a celebrity sounds fun to some. Living the life of the rich and famous, travelling in fancy cars and spending time in multi-million pound houses. But in reality, it sounds a little more tricky.

According to an insider who worked for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, they would be paid $2000 a night to get North to sleep. “The idea was to keep Kim from becoming stressed when north would wake up crying,” they told US Star.


Another nanny told the publication she had to dress up while working for Gwen Stefanie. They said: “Batman, Superman, Spiderman – you name it, I’ve dressed up as it.

“She once promised it as a treat for the boys if they behaved and went to sleep but I ended up doing it every night.”

One former member of staff from Kourtney Kardashian’s household also opened up about their time working for the famous mum-of-three. “She asked me to call her madam at all times,” the nanny – who wanted to remain anonymous – told them. “I once slipped up and called her Kourtney and she threw a hissy fit. I never made that mistake again.”

We bet they didn’t. Oh to work for the rich and famous. We wouldn’t be keen!
