Britney Spears’ Former Nanny Tells All    ·    February 21st, 2007

Sources say Britney Spears relies too heavily on nannies to help care for her two sons, Sean, 17 months, and Jayden, 5 months.

When Spears is alone with her kids, “she gets over-whelmed,” says a source. “She gets so frustrated when they cry, asking, ‘How do I make it stop?’ But she loves her kids.”

So you’re thinking of applying for a nanny job with Britney? First, read what one job candidate claims were the job requirements when she applied to be Spears’ nanny last year.

Personal Over Professional

“Britney didn’t ask me one thing about my child-care experience. She only wanted to know about my personal life.”

Friend Wanted

“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. Basically, Britney wanted a friend.”

Comfort With Nudity 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 – then she stripped down naked in front of us!”

Must Be Hands-On

“One nanny told me that Britney will hold her kids for 10 minutes and then say, ‘I’m done now. You can take them.’”

Don’t Be Too Good

“She doesn’t like when Sean prefers the nanny, so she fires them and looks for a new one.”

So why did Britney check in and out of an Antigua rehab facility in less than 24 hours? What caused her to re-enter rehab only days later in Malibu? What inspired Britney to shave her melon and get two tattoos?
