Many celebrities claim to be just like everyday people. They put their pants on one leg at a time, have messy children and have to do all of the daunting tasks we all have to do everyday. They claim to stay humble and remember their roots. For many of them, that can be true. They feel blessed to be able to do what they love and live such a wonderful lifestyle. Others occasionally let some of the fame get to their heads.

Being in the spotlight can require some extra hands to get daily tasks done. This is particularly true if the celebrity has children. Many celebrities have to hire nannies to be on staff to care for the children while the celebrity parent(s) are on set or are traveling.

Some of the celebrities may even need to take these nannies with them on vacations with the children. While there are some celebrities that treat their nannies like a part of the family, there are others that are not so lucky. These nannies are given rules that may seem a bit bizarre or extreme for everyday people. The celebrities want the best for their children, which is why these rules are put in place. In their eyes, nothing is wrong with these rules. Do you think these rules are too ridiculous?

Daughter, Harper, has become one of the favorite children because of this. Harper’s nanny is required to be an expert seamstress on top of her nanny responsibilities. Harper is expected to be dressed impeccably.

The seamstress is also expected to make Harper’s dreams come true, fashion-wise.

Having a seamstress who doubles as a nanny before kindergarten seems like a stepping stone for a future fashion designer.
