NIGHTMARES

A TRUE STORY©

by Chloe Church

I have been a full-time career nanny for nearly 10 years, and in my book Nanny Nightmares, I share the three most outrageous families I’ve ever worked for—most of them right here in Charleston. These stories are so unbelievable, they feel like fever dreams. Now, I am bringing them to you!

Nanny Nightmares isn’t just a collection of shocking stories—it’s a catalyst for change. My memoir aims to spark a crucial conversation about HR practices and safety protocols for nannies and domestic staff, especially for au pairs working abroad. By exposing inappropriate and unsafe employer behavior—like being forced to disable location tracking on my phone when traveling and withhold details about where I was going or who I was with “for security reasons,” while their private jet operated without documentation—I highlight the dangerous situations nannies can unknowingly find themselves in. Although rare, ending up in a safe house for a month with 24/7 armed guards was entirely inappropriate. The other nanny and I were not only subjected to torment but also taken advantage of. I hope to end the mistreatment many nannies and domestic staff endure. Through my candid account, I educate nannies on recognizing red flags and empower them with the knowledge that they do NOT have to tolerate terrible treatment. There are plenty of wonderful, normal, and even “boring” nanny families right here in Charleston—but when it is bad, it can be unbelievable! If there are any red flags, do NOT hesitate to RUN!

Nanny Nightmares is packed with jaw-dropping tales and insider secrets that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Grab your copy now and step into a world few have ever seen!

  • Step into a world where private jets are the norm, boundaries do not

    exist, and even the wildest demands are met with an eager “yes.” Among the many jaw-dropping incidents, I was once chased around the house by teens with scissors. When I asked their mother for basic

    respect, she scolded me, saying, “This is the most prominent job you will ever have, and you should be grateful.” I had no choice but to

    return upstairs and continue my work. This same family enforced strict rules about never revealing who I worked for, where we traveled, or even how I spent my day — all under the guise of “security.” But these so-called security measures were nothing more than a frightening control tactic.

  • What seemed like a humble family in Mount Pleasant turned out to be anything but ordinary. For a month, I lived in a safe house on Isle of Palms with a mom, her two babies, another nanny, three armed guards and four dogs—all under 24/7 protection. Everyday was filled with intense security updates, shocking stories and overwhelming paranoia. A year later, I received an unbelievable update about where that family is today.

  • Welcome to the chaotic world of a wildly successful, Psilocybin-driven business mogul. What began as a childcare role quickly turned into managing every aspect of his life—personal travel, businesses, shady activities, and much more. Each day was a rollercoaster. Even if I confirmed a meeting the night before, he’d call me at the last minute that he was already on a plane and wouldn’t be back for a week. Navigating his erratic, scam-filled lifestyle while trying to keep the wheels from flying off was exhausting. In the end, I could only endure it for so long.
