Celebrity Couples Who Are Against Hiring Nannies

We often imagine celebrities with teams of assistants, chefs, trainers, and nannies to help keep up with their often-demanding schedules and responsibilities, especially as parents. But there are some celeb parents who not to hire a team for childcare and choose to be as hands-on as possible. Whether that means no childcare, the occasionally babysitter or a part time nanny, these celebrities have made their roles as parents as their priority and prefer to raise their children themselves, without outside help.
For some parents it’s a matter of safety, like for Cardi B who says she can’t trust people around her children, or Nicki Minaj who had her son and chose not to have a nanny for health and safety reasons.
For majority of these no-nanny celebrity parents, family has become their go-to means for childcare, whether it’s aunts and uncles or grandparents, there’s a village of relatives helping these parents make it through the sleep deprivation.
Even if they change their minds about hiring some help as the realities of parenthood sets in, it doesn’t stop these parents form remaining just as active in their kids’ lives.
Of course, there’s nothing wrong with a little help, especially as parenting is one of the most demanding responsibilities, so props to all parents raising their kids with or without nannies. Which celebrity were you surprised to see doesn’t have a team of nannies on speed dial?

Totally well done bringing them up on their own but the mums how have hired yet it doesn't mean their a failure just means they need support to cope with everyday work life and bringing up kids.✌✌✌✌✌🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

💕

[@catherinehanson1106]

everyone needs help....we can't afford it though bc we aren't paid millions for doing nothing like most celebrities

[@tayyibahz9343]

@@catherinehanson1106 well if it’s that easy to be a celeb and get paid millions than why don’t u be one 😂

[@VintagegardenandCakes]

Everyone has some kind of help. Each of these celebrities has a circle of people, family who can help with their children. Hiring a nanny isn’t really that different from having grandma help when mom has to work. I’m a SAHM of 4 & if I could I would hire help. It’s difficult. But I’m thankful I have family who love helping.

[@mjohnson1741]

You have my respect that's not easy! Thanks for not hating on the mom's who have nannies.

[@mandy9775]

Nannies are no replacement for loyal living family members. But probably better than toxic and abusive ones.

[@Itsmebee287]

A nanny is definitely different than having a grandmother step in and assist. Trust me! I’m a SAHM and I’ve tried both.

[@OleMiss662]

Nannies are the rich word for babysitter.

[@Whitneypyant]

Nannies are different than having grandmothers to watch.

[@katherineknapp6604]

I love that all the celebs parents on this list don't have a nanny because they want to be with thier kids, so sweet!!

[@princess3808]

Nannies are very important for those that do not have family or other means for support. The best nannies are they one that bring culture diversity onto your life. So huge love to babysitters, nannies and family help.

[@space3555]

Totally agree

[@mamashanshan2772]

Very awesome!! They’d know how to survive through tougher times, hats off to their parents also!

[@daniellesjerven6593]

As a mother myself I can understand wanting to be hands on with them and not being raised by someone else outside the family.

[@SuperLavil]

I don’t have a nanny. I don’t have family or support from basically anybody. I have debts. I am very sick and my husband too. I want a video made about how great I am doing too! Can someone do that? 🤪🥰

[@anitagu21]

🤣

[@kaykay3458]

You have a husband, what you mean you have no support and no family? I'm sorry that you two are not well and prayed for healing. Hat's off to you and your husband for being AMAZING parents.

[@SuperLavil]

@@kaykay3458 well beside my sick husband, I have litterally no one trustable and useful.

[@angelaholmes8888]

I totally understand why these celebrities didn't want nannies because they wanted to be hands on with their kids

[@mjohnson1741]

You can still have a nanny and be hands on.

[@Whitneypyant]

@@mjohnson1741 but they don’t want that though. Celebrities don’t have a nanny because they want to be the ones who know their kids. They want to be there for them. Look at Lily Collins for example. Her father wasn’t there for her and as a result, she has a rocky relationship with him. Celebrities' parents who don't have nannies make it work by having one parent at home.

[@shabbytwo1787]

We owe it to our kiddos to do our best and be there. The time goes by too fast before they are grown.

[@mariecruickshank7289]

That's so nice wanting to stay at home instead of hitting the red carpet.✌✌✌✌✌✌🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@kaykay3458]

Why is Matthew McConaughey's wife still working AND raising his three kids? That's some bull 💩. He's not doing anything and hasn't for years. He refused nanny and she taking them to school and picking them up? NOPE!!! He needs to do it!!

[@jennalud4748]

They may not have full nannies, but they do have help!

[@dianam.7518]

JLO HAS NANNIES . Who’s lying to y’all 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Be-Fair]

Ms Cardi-B,You Keep Ms Kulture Looking Great. Ms Kulture HAIRSTYLES DOMINATES!

[@OleMiss662]

What is the the difference between a nanny and babysitter when you have to work.

[@joyceokeibunor6241]

I don’t blame them.

[@Raybanz82]

Mila and Ashton have 1 nanny per kid…they were seen at a private club in Montana during the summer with their kids and Nannie’s lol

[@gogetyoman]

Cardi is sosososo beautiful behind the scenes .....a child in my eyes and in her eyes I see determined genuine genius that I aim to kill the enemy that put such ridiculous obstacles in front of Motherhood ..I see my child in you Cardi B....you deserve so much better...in a natural and Spiritual awakening to Truth not Industry...My Loves You Beautiful BabyGirl!!

[@JH-yl6wm]

Wait but Charlize actually does have a nanny though...

[@veronicastigger7947]

My husband and I definitely hiring a nanny. It’s just me and him and want another child and would love extra help. Especially for date nights ❤wish my family can help but it’s pulling teeth. He’s not in daycare due to our preference.

[@space3555]

And there is nothing wrong with that.

[@kathleenweinberg6442]

I can imagine it can be a challenge

[@charlibaltimore7641]

Charlize Theron should not have those boys.

[@geekemedia]

Only one was born male

[@Be-Fair]

I L O V E Kulture hairstyle. She has the BEST HAIR STYLES. She dominantes when it comes to hairstyles.

[@onelove1446]

As much as I dislike I drug and take mens money cardi b, I applaud her for taking care of her kids

[@kameralkutie5594]

Not everyone has a village, so it’s okay to hire help.

[@cynthiadavid5282]

Its also good to have family members that help and alot do

[@gemmaaboagye8951]

I agree . Tbh i would not trust a nanny with my children

[@mjohnson1741]

That's why you really need to vet a nanny if you wanted to use one. Lot's of folks don't vet friends and family and use them to help.

[@geekemedia]

Charlize doesn't have 2 daughters. She adopted a boy and then a girl. It has never been revealed the child identifies as a girl

[@user-cb1tg1tr8w]

Hi

[@blackbangali4067]

After Nicki Minaj said she has no Nanny now people have no nannies too🙄🙄🙄🙄 since when? Yall getting dangerous in the clubs every weekend......... Mxm nevermind.....

[@mizcck]

Nicki ain’t got nothing to do with this😂 most people on this a list have had kids before her and have been having no nannies. Not everything is about her 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@nicolejones254]

Nicki need to be more worried about having a child with a sex offender maybe no one would wanna work around that

[@BratzWolfe]

Nicki can merry who she wants.if any of these celebrities expect of Nicki and Jennifer. Yall would be fine with it don't lie

[@irishgirl3047]

Just because there celeb don't mean they have to hire nanny's they have grandparents aunty's and uncles who can give a help when there mother has to go on a bissenes trip or have to do a concert there better of with there own. Instead of strangers anyways you never no who you brought into your house if you need a nanny . You never no anything could happen

[@dmgx2.012]

And that's what I call real parenting

[@janetohara3904]

Definitely

[@LemonRose59]

Don't shame people with different parenting. There's no such thing "real".

[@kerryalfaro9437]

@@LemonRose59 actually THERE MOST certainly AND definitely IS!!! IF SOMEONE ELSE IS RAISING YOUR CHILD/CHILDREN...THEN YOU'RE NOT a parent..JUST THE"DONOR AND THE VESSEL"!!!!!!! HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF HELP IS ONE THING..BUT NOT BEING THE ONE THAT IS TEACHING/DISCIPLINING/BATHING/CHANGING/PLAYING/ OR GUIDING YOUR"CHILDREN" ON A DAILY BASIS AND LEAVING THOSE THINGS FOR SOMEONE ELSE TOO DO...is NOT YOU ACTUALLY PARENTING!!!

[@mjohnson1741]

@@LemonRose59 Exactly, everyone parent is different. I've heard many mom's say if they could hire help they would and just to be able sleep more would be a luxury.

[@Mobeegirl]

This was incredibly annoying they didn’t get nannies because they had family, family that they probably supported but the majority of people did not live this way and who cares if they didn’t get a nanny really like somehow it made them a better parent

[@Room-mp3np]

Every single couple mentioned has been photographed with childcare help….

[@rhondacampbell2592]

Good for them, but these privileged people can also afford to take as much time off as they choose, while most people can't afford an indefinite maternity/paternity leave.

[@kristycaminero4653]

They need to find better man.

[@FeliciaRangel269]

The pandemic has taught people the importance of multiple streams of income, unfortunately having a job doesn't mean security rather having different investments is the real deal.

[@kaykay3458]

It's easy to believe everyone except #1 Cardi. She's just too busy to not have a nanny. Everyone else on the list, their careers have run it's course before the kids came along. Mathew's wife still working after he refused nanny just makes me sick.

[@Pisces_realshit]

She has her mom,like my daughter has me,so its the same and better than a nanny

[@Ilikefrogs..]

I think she has her mom, her sister and her grandma to help out.

[@luisg.7521]

The majority of celebrities on this list are irrelevant and gave free time off so I don't blame them

[@CAPYBARAAMAZING]

1st

[@Gloria_Marie]

I would only have a nanny if I need some help, but other than that, I’m going to be with my kids

[@feistygrandma2636]

I think toxic celebrities should hire nannies for the love and care that they put in the kids and the knowledge toxic parents breed toxic kids how do you want kids but everybody don't need kids because when toxic people have toxic kids then the world gets more toxic and then the toxic people want to be on the screen and call yourself celebrities that's the same and it keeps going and going and going

[@ciarajones3943]

I would like to say to all of them what good , caring, and not lazy parents they are. That p other family ( begins with k) are the laziest. Stupid. Bragging , have dozen people to do all different jobs that they don’t do’ !! They take beAutiful pics with their, then hand them over to the Nannie’s to go out party make videos, and brag bout all their billions. And do shit with their kids,, and people think they great parents. I’m sick of people saying that!
