The ultra-wealthy are hiring former special ops soldiers as 'nannies' for their kids, paying as much as $200,000 a year

And though the benefits and work perks have been noted — elite nannies can make— it often comes at the expense of the nannies' personal lives, with late working nights and extensive travel requirements resulting in a lack of time with their own families. The role of a nanny is as complicated as ever. In addition to watching the kids, many are expected to be housekeepers, personal chefs — and now, even bodyguards.

"People wanting this sort of protection come from places where the criminal model includes kidnapping and ransom, and in the 1990s in Russia this was the way they operated," Sergei Migdal, a former security expert and head bodyguard for a Russian oligarch, told The Times. The Times also reported that the crime rates in two of London's most affluent neighborhoods — Westminster, and Kensington & Chelsea — have risen. Magoo Giles, a former Coldstream Guard who is now the principal and founder of a £20,000-a-year private school, told The Times that many families both at his school and other schools in the area have arrangements to have their children dropped off and picked up by these private security guards.

"All of the bodyguards that we recruit are ex-military," Martin told The Times. "However, when it comes to close protection for children, clients tend to demand more high-level staff, someone who is trained in emergency first aid and possibly from special forces like the SAS."Nannies have long been a fixture in the households of the rich and powerful.

Old news. I saw this in a movie with Vin Diesel years ago.

I would too if I could afford it because I caught a state worker doing meth that DDD sent to my house. What’s disaster. Dear government officials, perform drug tests. The leaders should go first. Also she was probably doing meth cause she needed 2 jobs.

🤣

Thank Vin Diesel for this!
