When it comes to celebrity parents, they need help every now and again to keep their household and their children on track while they balance their celebrity life and jobs. At any given time, they can have an army of make-up artists, hair stylists, personal assistants, wardrobe personnel, and, of course, nannies that help to keep their family life stable and how they like it.

From Kim Kardashian to Angelina Jolie, celebrity nannies are a vital part of the Hollywood lifestyle when there are children involved.

Now, working as a nanny for a celebrity might sound like the most amazing job ever. One gets to be in the presence of the great Queen B herself! How amazing is that? Plus, let’s not forget about the money. One must make a butt-load to take care of a celebrity’s household and care for their child.

Well, don’t get too excited, though. It is not all rainbow and sunshine as many might think. Catering to a celebrity’s every whim can be pretty demanding and there are many celebrity nannies that have found this out the hard way.

>Here are 19 of the most over-the-top rules that nannies had to follow while in the employment of a celebrity.

19 All Hail Queen Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey is known for her incredible beauty and angelic voice, two key features that help with her fame and fortune. Her voice was even the first thing her twins, Morrocan and Monroe heard when they were born. While in the delivery room, Mariah made sure to have her song "Fantasy" playing in the background as she gave birth to her two little ones.

When it comes to Mariah, many see her as a caring, loving, and sweet-natured woman, but to her nannies, she can be a little conceited.

According to mommyish.com, Mariah makes her nannies constantly praise her on her beauty and talent multiple times throughout the day, as well as bring her children to her bedside every night where they must encourage them to also praise her.

18 Victoria Beckham Nicknames All Her Nannies Jo

Victoria ‘Posh’ Spice Beckham and her husband David Beckham have been married almost 20 years and together the power couple has welcomed Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper.

According to mommyish.com, ex-nannies of the family have complained that Victoria is known to be very demanding and hard to work with. Nannies in her employment must be qualified seamstresses and able to make a fancy frock at any time, as well as always keeping Harper fashionably dressed. Along with all that, the nannies must also cook, clean, and take the brunt of all the posh tantrums.

That’s not all. In the beginning, Victoria had a nanny that her children were quite fond of whose name was Jo. Ever since Jo left, she has nicknamed all new nannies Jo to help her kids manage the loss.

17 Going Green With Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth Paltrow is a well-known actress who likes to live a healthy lifestyle. She restricts herself to a very strict macrobiotic lifestyle, something she also expects her nannies to do also.

According to mommyish.com, Gwyneth, along with her nannies, start their day with a nice almost milk smoothie that includes coconut oil and vanilla mushroom powder. Sounds yummy right?

Almond smoothies and yummy greens are not the only thing Gwyneth and her nannies do for their strict meals. They also must avoid any type of coffee, sugar, wheat, dairy, and adult beverages.

Don’t worry though. Her children, Apple and Moses, do not follow their mother’s strict eating styles all the time. They are allowed an occasional treat now and again to break away from the constant kale and other greens.

16 All Forms Of Affection Are For Halle Berry Only

Halle Berry is a great and talented beauty who has created two gorgeous children, Nahla Ariela Aubry and Maceo Robert Martinez. When it comes to her children, Halle has nothing but love for them and is a huge mamma bear.

According to mommyish.com, between Halle’s sad childhood and the recent divorce she went through, she is pretty protective of her children. So-much-so, that she has a strict no hugs or kisses policy for her nannies.

That’s right. Nannies employed to take care of her children are not allowed to show any sign of affection to her children while with them.

Maybe she thinks that if they get love from others, they won’t want cuddles with her?

15 Just Call Her Madam Kourtney

When it comes to the Kardashians, they always have a team of personal assistants, makeup artists, hair stylists and personal bodyguards around them at all times. When it comes to their nannies though, they must go through not only fashion testing, but also rehearsals.

For those nannies in the employment of Kourtney Kardashian though, they must make sure to always call her "Madam Kourtney," a title she has bestowed on herself and gets offended if her staff does not use it.

14 Kate Gosselin: My Way Or The Highway

Having one child is a handful to some, having two is even a bigger handful, but eight is something that is hard to imagine. It is no wonder Kate Gosselin uses nannies to help her keep organized and her children on a schedule.

According to mommyish.com, Kate’s nannies aren’t just there to help with the children though. Kate likes her house a certain way, and to keep it the way she likes it, she has created ‘household manuals’ for the nannies in her employment. The nannies must study the manuals and do whatever it says to do in them. For example: how to wash the cutlery a certain way, what times they must wash the drapes, how to take care of the family chickens, and the timetable and instructions for how to take care of her children.

Wonder what they talk about for that long?

Well, it might have something to do with the hidden relationship her ex-husband had with their nanny for three years, or maybe because her sons relate to them more. Who knows?

Maybe that is why they aren’t together anymore?
