A nanny shares her experiences working for a billionaire family, highlighting the children's lack of appreciation and entitlement despite their wealth. She also discusses the challenges of rewarding children who expect everything to be immediately available.
I nannied full-time for a billionaire family. The children did not have a maid and treated me like I was one. One night, the youngest child ordered me upstairs to her bedroom. She demanded I sort her dolls by height, tallest to shortest. Mind you, there were 27 dolls to sort. When I finished about 30 minutes later, the little girl started screaming, saying that she didn't like it, and yelled at me to get out.
When I left her room, the oldest child walked out of his room and said that his TV was dusty, and I handed him a feather duster. Long story short: That TV is still dusty, and I have not seen that family since. I work at a private school and get many nannying/babysitting jobs through my job. Most families I work for try to teach their children to appreciate what they have. Still, the most striking thing I've witnessed in some families is such a short-lived excitement that the kids get from receiving gifts, gadgets, outings, or money, and it is because they get these things EVERY DAY! To them, it's normal and expected. It's hard to reward these kids for good behavior when the rewards aren't rewarding! In 1991, I worked for a family in New York that owned a major newspaper. The dad was very nice, and I loved the kids, but the mother was not a joy to work for. She once led me to one of the kid's rooms and pointed out that several leaves had fallen off a plant onto the windowsill. She said it was my job to keep the home looking perfect at all times, and I clearly hadn't wiped down the windowsill that day. I had to change all the beds daily, including the parents' bed, and I was taught for an entire week exactly how to lay the decorative throw on the bed so it 'had the right movement.' I lasted around six months between things like that and the briefings on what to do if the kids were kidnapped. Money makes people insufferable. The father would give me unbelievable amounts of money for basic things and refuse to take change back
