Meet Gloria Richards, a 34-year-old nanny who shares her captivating journey as she cares for the children of billionaires, enjoying luxurious travel and earning up to $2,000 (Rs 1.6 lakh) daily.?
Gloria discusses her role as a nanny for billionaires' children, bringing luxurious travel and earning her up to $2,000 (Rs 1.6 lakh) daily.?
Earning up to $2,000 daily for 12 to 15 work hours, Richards also enjoys travel and accommodation benefits. She once had a spontaneous introduction to a child she had to accompany on a private jet trip to Barbados.
"I¡¯ve had full-blown interviews where [parents] are like, ¡®We¡¯re looking for someone to raise our kids,¡¯"?she told CNBC.
"They tell me they had kids to pass on their trust funds, [and that] ¡®I¡¯ll hang out with them after boarding school when they can drink.¡¯"?
While she enjoys extravagant experiences like traveling on yachts and private jets and driving luxury cars like Porsches and Teslas, being a black woman nannying white children in the world of the ultra-rich presents its challenges.
Richards has witnessed her wealthy clients leave behind $3,200 steaks after just a single bite and make impulsive purchases of entire houses.?
"I¡¯ll be in Switzerland, and they¡¯re telling me they can¡¯t pay me for three weeks because they don¡¯t have cash,"?Richards says.?
"That¡¯s also how they communicate when they don¡¯t like something you did. They¡¯ll stop paying you."
Facing unexpected challenges from her clients, the 34-year-old nanny has learned the importance of relying on the support of Madison Agency.?
"Sometimes I¡¯m a shoulder to cry on. A second later, they¡¯ll turn on me," she says. Richards claimed she has also faced racism on the job.?
"I¡¯m a black woman, and there are many times that I¡¯m working for white families, and by the time the kids are six or seven, they have particular thoughts about people who look like me," she said.
Despite the challenges, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks for Richards, who maintains control over her work by setting clear boundaries regarding her availability and workload.
