The billionaire nanny boom: why gen Z is providing private service' for the super-rich
"Name: Billionaire nannies. Age: Mid-20s, or thereabouts. Appearance: Neat, presentable, university educated, Early Years-trained, first-aid certified, possibly multilingual. Sounds like hard work. That's the life of a billionaire nanny for you. I didn't realise the nanny game was so lucrative. The nannies aren't billionaires; they just work for billionaires. I suppose that makes a lot more sense. Even so, these nannies can expect salaries upwards of 150k."
"Did you say 150k? Why? Are you interested in becoming a nanny? No, but with that money I could probably subcontract all the actual childcare. Chances are you'll be part of a childcare team anyway, providing round-the-clock coverage. Any other perks? Free meals, transport and accommodation, luxury holidays, a pension, that sort of thing. And these nanny jobs are actually available? Recruiters can't fill them fast enough."
Young, university-educated, Early Years-trained nannies often in their mid-20s serve ultra-wealthy families, sometimes multilingual and first-aid certified. Salaries commonly exceed £150,000, with benefits such as free meals, transport, accommodation, luxury holidays and a pension. Roles usually involve teamwork and round-the-clock coverage across multiple residences. High demand stems from many billionaires requiring extensive staff—executive assistants, chefs, chauffeurs and security—so private service hiring is growing. Downsides include strict privacy obligations like NDAs, erratic hours shaped by employers' changing preferences, and challenging client expectations, including specialized tutoring and elite experience requirements.
