Why Pink Refuses to Hire a Nanny

When it comes to being a mum, Pink is determined to keep things as hands-on as possible.

In a new interview with Redbook magazine, the singer, 38, explains why she doesn’t hire a nanny for Willow, six, and Jameson, one, when she’s on tour.

“I’ve never juggled so many damn plates in my life, but it’s because I want to. I enjoy it,” she says.

“If I had nannies raising my kids and just wanted to be a rock star and party all the time, I wouldn’t be successful and I wouldn’t be happy.”

Thank you for being so damn awesome Canada ???????? we had a great time. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

“When I left [for the Truth About Love Tour], Willow was 14 months, and I would come right offstage and breastfeed her,” she tells Redbook.

“That was our bonding time and some of my favorite moments. Jameson is now doing the same thing.” Pink says the moment the on-the-road lifestyle becomes too much for them, she’ll put an end to it.

“If they decide they just want to be home and have a normal life, whatever that means, I’ll stop, because they are by far the priority,” she adds.

“But I think it’s cool that they get to see their mum be the boss and work really freaking hard to realise a dream.

“I’d say it’s 95 per cent positive.”

I really rocked that shit tonight #dallas

What a wonderful person she is. She is one celebrity who is not letting the stardom get in the way of being a Mum

Love these photos with Pink and her family. Both parents are so involved and it is fabulous for her to have her husband and children with her on tour.

LI love the way this lady plays with her children, is interested in them and their well being. If you are not being involved fully as Pink is, then why have a baby in the first place.

Kudos to her- too many stars just pop out kids and then leave others to raise them.

Good on Pink! She is amazing and awesome. I love her strength and ‘don’t care’ attitude about what others think. She is real.

This is amazing. I would have thought every celebrity had a nanny. How the hell does she manage to attend to them without any help? She has to have someone looking after them.

True, but I would think having a consistent trusted person on tour with them might not be a fad thing.
