@SuperSocks Do they film you?
Some families do. Some don’t.
But honestly I was already filmed when working for average families so I am not phased by cameras. I do not feel as spontaneous to break into a dance or song though though I still might… if they are not around! 
Usually in those big estates, they don’t watch the cameras themselves though. Security does. And sometimes the main home doesn’t have camera inside because they don’t want security to see them live their life. I was working for a family where there was camera everywhere but inside their house and same bodyguards were outside but never came inside the home at all. So they lived normally inside their house but had the safety of knowing their house was secure.
@teaandchocolate1 Do they just use designer baby clothing or do they also use handmedowns/tesco and Primark baby clothing? 😂
Hand me downs from previous kids or family members yes, but primark or testo clothing. No.
That being said I (purposefully maybe, ahem!) offer outfits from cheap brands when the baby is born (so sometimes it might have been Primark) and they do wear it with «pride». I am the one dressing the baby anyway so I make sure they make use of it! But usually the parents are just grateful for the gifts and don’t care. They do make cute baby clothes at Primark unbeknownst to them so sometimes they are quite thrilled to discover them!
So yes sometimes they do wear Primark or supermarket clothes actually but that’s because I buy it! They wouldn’t ever buy it themselves I don’t think so, no.
@SarahDippity Has your experience been mostly with families where the dad is the celeb, the mum, or ‘power couples’, and is there a different dynamic at play between the different types?
all of the above, I mean I think sometimes it changes nothing but it’s more about about how they met right. People who were together before fame or are both equally successful are unlikely to be affected by it. People who started dating someone after they were famous or because they are famous you can totally tell.
Funny story, we got pulled over once at the border of a country (a family where mom was famous and dad was not) had all of our papers checked and the immigration officer asked the dad if he was the bodyguard! He was so offended but I personally had to try and not chuckle.
We still live in a sexist world so your wife being more successful than you is probably a bit harder on the ego to some. But overall I never noticed anything untoward or drastically different.
@SleepingStandingUp As much as it keeps you in work, do you secretly judge a family who have a baby and then basically hand it over from birth to someone else to do all the hard work simply because they don't want to?
I think it’s only human to judge something things so yes I do. I don’t judge parents who need the care, and who are recovering from a complicated birth etc… (I actually think a month of post-natal care should be available to every mother), or who are suffering from PND or simply working a lot.
But the concept of having someone work for you 24/6 in 2022, I do judge because I don’t necessarily find it very humane? (I mean I am fully consenting and happy with my work but just the thought that people think it’s an acceptable request is weird to me!)
The one I judge the most are the one who genuinely chose not to care for their kids at all, and begrudge me my breaks and one day off and ask me to have the kid sleep for them when on my break so they have an easy baby for the two hours or so I am gone. I can honestly say that money doesn’t make up for parental attention so it’s really hard to see people bring up kids into this world and then spending the bare minimum of time with them.
