A former nanny to the world’s richest families shares an intimate and shocking look at how the global elite exploit others and raise their children to be the next ruling class.

The global one percent operate in a different reality from the rest of us, one where they believe they can do no wrong and they are more intelligent and therefore deserving. They go out of their way to conceal themselves from public scrutiny, but they are also employers, relying on staff to clean their homes, cook their meals, and raise their children.

Enter the anonymous author of The Unnamed Nanny—a woman who spent a decade nannying for Eastern European oligarchs, the English upper classes, and a family so rich they aren’t from anywhere—who is now determined to expose the corruption behind closed mansion doors.

This is a story about one woman trying to raise the wealthy's children, who we assume have everything but actually get nothing, while trying to protect them from becoming just like their parents: oblivious, commanding, and dangerously negligent. It is also a revealing look at how these families are disturbingly similar in the worst ways, with insights into how extreme wealth can impact sexism, classism, racism, consumerism, corruption, and trauma.

With reflection, wit, and some rage, The Unnamed Nanny exposes the intergenerational damage that exists when elites self-remove from the societal and cultural norms that determine our future, offering an insider view at what the global one percent will continue to be unless we stop them.
