Working for our favorite celebrity is a dream for many people but we often forget that this kind of job is actually quite intense and involves a lot of pressure. Ask a celebrity nanny and they will probably agree. They work overtime, have to deal with a number of ridiculous demands, keep up with the divaish attitude, and still do their job taking care of the kids. Although it allows them to take a peek into the private life of a famous family, their job isn't the best job in the world. And, as soon as they quit, they are happy to share the spicy details of their employment.
