Nannies for the top 1% will put up with a lot — but there are a handful of things they would never do.
Nannies Mitchell Bienvenue and Taylor Hayward, two stars of Hulu’s new reality series Million Dollar Nannies, sat down with PEOPLE to discuss some of their craziest stories from the job, including their non-negotiables while at work.
On the series, which is streaming now, Bienvenue, Hayward and six other young nannies jet off to Ibiza for a summer to launch a nannying agency for VIP clientele on vacation. The eight episodes see the nannies vie for high-profile gigs and, along the way, get a peek inside the world of the uber-rich and their children.
Viewers also watch as the eight nannies field several strange requests — that they send a check-in text to the parents every 30 minutes or dress up as a mermaid to play with their kids.
“There’s a lot of things that I will do just because they are paying me really, really well and this is a job,” admits Hayward. “There’s not a lot of things that I would say no to for me personally.”
But she does have one requirement: that she is treated like family.
“I’ve always connected with my nanny families, and so if I don’t sense that from day one, then I’m out,” she says. “I’ve always gotten invited to birthday parties and holidays and everything, and it’s just so special to be able to connect with your nanny family like that on a separate level than work.”
She even cites her client on the show, mom Nicola Wills, with whom she formed a close bond while nannying for her daughter.
“It’s amazing to be able to do that,” she says. “But if I’m not treated like family, I’m out.”
Bienvenue’s primary sticking point comes down to what activities he’s allowed to do with the kids he’s watching.
“When we look for a new family, they have to give us full range to take the kids out and leave the house,” he says, adding that he likes to be able to go to the store, zoo or library as an activity. “There are nannies that we’re friends with where they can’t leave the house, or if they leave the house, they’re only allowed an hour or two away.”

Hayward concurs: “I actually was a nanny for somebody who was very uncomfortable for me to take them out of the house, and it was just pure chaos.”
She adds that often the kids are less well-behaved at home but are “perfect angels” while out in public.
“It makes the day go by faster, for sure,” says Bienvenue. “You’re in public and you don’t necessarily want to act a fool and be embarrassed. So most of the time when we’re out, kids are well-behaved, but when they’re in the house, it’s just chaotic.”
