Kim Kardashian employs five nannies to care for her four children—North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm—but insists she remains deeply involved in their daily lives. AOL reports that one nanny works at a time while others rotate, yet Kardashian handles school drop-offs, pickups, and family dinners herself.
The reality TV star describes her parenting as "intermediate-strict" while also emphasizing patience and affection. She reads to her children at night and allows them to sleep in her bed when they want. Kardashian also worries about protecting her younger children's privacy, keeping them off her family's reality show while managing her oldest daughter North's growing interest in public projects.
Five Nannies, But Mom Still Leads the Day
Kardashian's childcare setup rotates five nannies, with one on duty at any given time. InStyle reports this arrangement allows flexibility while keeping consistent care. Yet Kardashian emphasizes her hands-on role: she personally drives kids to school, picks them up, and presides over family dinners. She told Style Magazine she remains "basically raising" her four children despite the support.
The Skims founder balances her business empire with active parenting. Her parenting philosophy mixes structure with warmth—she reads bedtime stories and permits children to join her in bed. She regularly discusses hard work, gratitude, and the dangers of taking their privileged life for granted with her kids.
Protecting Younger Kids From the Public Eye
Kardashian is selective about which children appear on her family's reality television show. Fashion Times notes that her three younger children—Saint, Chicago, and Psalm—do not have storylines on the series. Only North appears regularly, reflecting her daughter's greater interest in public visibility compared to her siblings.
The star worries about how much of her children's lives becomes public. She carefully monitors exposure to protect their childhood and privacy. This protective stance extends to evaluating which projects her children pursue in the entertainment industry.
North's Rising Profile and Parental Coordination
North, Kardashian's oldest, has expressed interest in various projects including music and even working at Starbucks. Fashion Times reports that Kardashian coordinates approval for North's opportunities with ex-husband Kanye West. The parents aim to guide her daughter's career choices carefully rather than letting opportunities happen randomly.
This coordination reflects past tensions. West previously featured North's vocals on a track with Sean "Diddy" Combs without full agreement from Kardashian, highlighting their different visions for their daughter's upbringing and public presence. The incident underscored how the former couple must navigate parenting decisions involving entertainment opportunities.
