Malibu Nanny: The True Adventures Of The Former Kardashian Nanny

not having a receipt for a return, or the notoriously horrible Los Angeles
traffic that caused me to be late.
Kris and I are both Scorpios. Our birthdays are only a week apart. And I
think we share some similarities. One in particular is perfectionism,
which actually benefitted our relationship. She liked to make lists. I
liked to check things off my list. The perfectionist in me wanted to make
sure I got every last thing done, even if it killed me.
Looking back now, I can see how Kris’s “no excuses” attitude
contributed to the fame and success she has achieved for herself and her
family. She simply does not accept “no” or “I can’t.” There are no
excuses for not getting something done. From a business perspective,
that is exactly the type of attitude that is necessary to be extremely
successful. I can understand how Bruce and Kris would have been
drawn to each other, as they both are goal-oriented, driven people who
speak only in the language of “I can” and “I will.”
Bruce and Kris travelled quite often, as Bruce had speaking engagements
all over the United States. So frequently, it was just the kids and I.
From day one, I considered it my responsibility to teach the Kardashian
kids the same values and work ethic that I learned in my childhood in
Minnesota. My parents taught me how to work hard, be responsible, and
contribute to the family. Whenever the opportunity presented itself, I
gave the four kids chores and duties, had them clean up after themselves,
and tried to teach them that the world didn’t revolve around them. I
strived to create boundaries and rules.
One night, shortly after Bruce and Kris had returned home from a trip,
Kris handed the kids candy right before dinner. Khloe said “We can’t
have that right now.”
