Keke Wyatt is not comfortable having nannies

Some people might expect that Wyatt gets a lot of help to take care of her kids. However, she has shared that she does not have nannies at home.

“I am very hands-on with all my children,” Wyatt told Us Weekly. “I am really only comfortable with my family. I have tried all the nannies and everything. It just wasn’t my cup of tea.”

Back in 2017, she also shared with Essence that she had an “auntie” who helped out with her older kids. She added, “And then don’t forget I have a 16-year-old, I have a 13-year-old, a 12-year-old, I have a 7 and a 5, so they’re not little babies. They can help as well. We have a routine thingy going on.”

However, at the end of the day, Wyatt’s “secret” to raising a big family is “keeping everybody content, which is making sure everybody has their own mommy/baby time, daddy/baby time, mommy/daddy/baby time.”
