Nannies share their stories working for rich families, entitled parents, and Karen mommies: 'The 3-year-old slips up and calls me Mama constantly'

Working for wealthy folks can be endlessly frustrating. People may think The White Lotus and Triangle of Sadness are heightened exaggerations of what it's like, but based on these stories, it's quite clear that those films may be leaning closer to nonfiction territory than anyone wants to believe.

Although I have never worked as a full-time nanny, I have worked in education, specifically for wealthy families. I have seen the entitlement, the distorted view of reality, and the unrealistic expectations some of these parents have for their kids (some, not all). A common thread from my experience and those of these professional nannies is the simultaneous mix of overbearing parents and absent ones. Some parents are controlling about academics and extracurricular activities but at the same time, they neglect to make sure their kids' needs and desires are heard. Sometimes, it's the kids who are the most entitled at the end of the day, and it's the parents who have no idea what to do with them.

Keep scrolling below for this collection of stories about entitled rich families and the nannies who have had to endure dealing with their personalities. For more stories like this, here is one about a Karen's tantrum after being mentioned in a local newspaper.
