I’m a superyacht nanny and get paid to travel the world in luxury while watching rich people’s kids — how I got the gigs
NY Post
BB Smalls wasn’t looking for a free ride when she signed on as a nanny to Hollywood honchos, globally-renowned rock stars and bigwig billionaires.
But free first-class flights to Bora Bora, $100,000 rooms at the St. Regis Resort and bougie boating excursions along the Amalfi Coast are exactly what she got — not to mention routine shopping sprees at Gucci, Chanel and Louis Vuitton — while on the job.
“I’ve been everywhere: Maui, Tahiti, London, Italy, Scotland, you name it,” Smalls, 44, from Los Angeles, tells The Post.
Nondisclosure agreements bar her from spilling the secrets and specifics of her eccentric ex-bosses. But Smalls, now a married stay-at-home mom living in Texas, says, “Nannying for the right people means getting paid to travel.”
She’s in the 40% of childcare providers who regularly globetrot, by sky, land or sea with their employers, per data from the International Nanny Association. Smalls just happens to do it the luxe way as a “super yacht nanny.”
It’s a post that grants kiddo pros the opportunity to see the sights, as well as how the top 1% travels, for free.
It was a flashback to NYC in the 1990s.
The killing of Iran’s tyrannical Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Saturday in an unprecedented joint military attack by the US and Israel called Operation Epic Fury set off widespread celebrations from Iranians around the world — as President Trump said it would give them their “greatest chance” to “take back the country.” Meanwhile, in Iran, a lack of internet has made it impossible for Iranians to easily communicate daily conditions. Over a period of three days, with limited VPN connection, an eyewitness currently in Tehran — who, for her safety, is concealing her identity — shared her account of life under a country in the midst of battle with The Post’s Natasha Pearlman.
After exactly 120 years, the curtain has fallen on the Theater District institution Barbetta, with the iconic Italian restaurant having served its final course Friday night.
