Katy Perry doesn’t want to hire a full-time nanny. Even when she has a full working schedule, the “Teenage Dream” singer insisted she wants to be as hands-on as possible with her and fiance Orlando Bloom’s two-year-old daughter Daisy.
“I am working a lot, and I’ve always worked a lot,” she said when speaking on the “SmartLess” podcast. “I have a wonderful nanny, but I don’t have a full-time nanny because I feel like if I had a full-time nanny, I would never be able to know how to care for my daughter like I’m meant to.”
On her days off from her Las Vegas residency, the 37-year-old singer is in “mom mode” and even if she has the “no-sleep shakes,” she’s still up early to be with her little girl. She said, “It doesn’t matter if I’ve had a show that goes to 11 p.m. the night before, I’m waking up at 6 o’clock and we’re gonna go and do breakfast.”
Katy recalled a recent experienced that stressed why she “wants to participate” in parenting as much as she can. She said, “She’s two, so she’s at the point where she’s saying new words every day. And the other day she was saying some words that I didn’t teach her, and I was like ‘Damn it. That doesn’t feel good.’ “
And the “American Idol” judge couldn’t ask for better support than Orlando, who also has 11-year-old son Flynn with ex-wife Miranda Kerr. She noted, “Dad is the best.”
The “Hot n Cold” hitmaker recently explained she can’t wait to take her daughter on tour with her. She said, “I love traveling and now I get to take my daughter and I want to have that experience once again through her eyes. I love being a mom. It’s the best decision I ever made for my life.”
At the time, Katy added that being a parent had allowed her to have “grown up so much” and that she had been “reborn” as a result of motherhood. She added, “I have grown up so much. [It’s] just the opportunity to see the world again through just like the most beautiful eyes – and the joy. For a new breath of life to be breathed into everything. It’s like you get to be reborn as well.”
