Britney Spears: The Nannies are Talking

Women who were hired — or interviewed to be hired — to care for the singer’s two sons say that they were asked few questions about their work history or child-rearing skills, and rather were asked about their personal lives.

“The agency that called me emphasized that Britney was looking for a nanny who was young and hip because they wanted her to interact with people her own age,” one interviewee said. “Basically, Britney wanted a friend.”

What’s more, comfort with nudity was apparently a plus. “Britney asked me and one of her nannies to come to her room to watch her try on outfits for a party one night,” a source said. “Then she stripped down naked in front of us!”

Spears reportedly wanted the nannies to be very hands-on —  but not too good at what they did. “One nanny told me that Britney will hold her kids for 10 minutes and then say, ‘I’m done now. You can take them.’ ” Said another:  “She doesn’t like when Sean prefers the nanny, so she fires them and looks for a new one.”
