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.
