Former Kardashian nanny Leah Barrs got in trouble with NannyTok for sleeping with a dad who was her boss — but is she still in contact with him?
“[Now], he’s happily married. Pack it up,” Leah, 31, told People on Monday, June 22. “But I’m not that person today.”
Leah also addressed her history with the unnamed man, adding, “I was young — I was 22 at the time. And I shouldn’t have done that.”
After Million Dollar Nannies was released on Hulu, Leah found it important to clarify that the father was a “friend” before he hired her to be his nanny. She also maintained that the dad was single when they slept together, adding, “I was working for him that night, so I shouldn’t have crossed that line.”
Despite having some “regret” about the situation, Leah was glad she learned from the mistake. Reality TV fans got a glimpse into where she is now when the show introduced a young group of elite nannies as they head to Ibiza, Spain, to launch an agency built for nannies.
“They’re promised VIP families, life-changing money and a shot at something bigger than any of them could build alone,” read the official synopsis. “But fierce competition, personal drama and a scandal from the past threaten to derail the dream before the summer sets.”
Before being front and center on Million Dollar Nannies, Leah gained a following documenting her time as a nanny for Kourtney Kardashian.
“It was beyond nannying,” she told the New York Post earlier this month. “I learned a lot about myself — [Kourtney] really taught me to be a better worker. Networking, being the best version of myself. Representing that family. Everyone always said, ‘You should start your own agency.’”
After moving to Los Angeles, Leah was put into contact with Kourtney, 47, through their church, telling the outlet, “It was fate. He said, ‘I think you would be perfect for the position. Would you want to work for the Kardashians? I was like, ‘Holy s***. This is crazy! YES!’”
Leah then became a personal assistant for YouTuber Zane Hijazi before returning to the world of high-profile nannying — which paved the way for her reality TV debut.
“So much goes into being a high-profile nanny,” Leah told the Post. “I was doing doctors appointments, school events — keeping track of calendars. Not only the parents’ schedules but the kid’s schedules, closet organization. Travel.”
Million Dollar Nannies is currently streaming on Hulu.
