  • Positive messages0
    The series focuses on the nannies' competitive and catty world -- and what they're willing to do in order to enjoy their employers' privileged lifestyle.
  • Positive role models0
    Many of the featured parents are extremely superficial and/or exploitative, while many of the nannies are sometimes unprofessional and/or unkind to other nannies.
  • Violence1
    Lots of catty behavior between employers, nannies, and other cast members.
  • Sex2
    Occasional discussion about sex, including crude references to "banging." Nannies describe witnessing infidelity, being sexually harassed on the job, and their willingness to tolerate it. One dad asks a nanny inappropriate questions. Some nannies are hired based on their looks (or lack thereof).
  • Language3
    Words like "bitch" and "s--t" are bleeped.
  • Consumerism3
    Lots of high-end brands like Gucci, Hermes, Burberry, Valentino, Audi cars, Apple, Dell, etc. are referenced and/or visible. Lots of celebrity name dropping. Actress Cindy Margolis is a nanny employer.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking3
    Cast members are seen drinking beer, wine, cocktails, shots, and champagne at social gatherings, family meals, and even during the occasional interview. Some nannies discuss drinking on the job; a nanny-in-training appears to drink too much. The use of illegal drugs is briefly discussed.

What parents need to know

Parents need to know that Beverly Hills Nannies features professional childcare providers competing for jobs with rich/famous Southern California clients. Both the employers and the nannies can be pretty catty and/or obnoxiously superficial. Expect lots of drinking (during social events and over meals) and some sexual references (including discussions about infidelity and sexual harassment). The nannies love to name drop, and designer brands like Gucci, Hermes, and others are discussed and/or visible.

Awful show
This is a horrible show. From the mannies, nannies and the families everything is awful. Whoever thought this would be a good show must've been drunk. These people make the Kardashian's seem bearable.
