Nigerian singer, Simi reveals how her perspectives on motherhood evolved after welcoming her daughter, Adejare despite plans to have multiple nannies.
In a recent episode of The Roadshow on Cool FM, Simi admitted that she once believed she would be the type of mother to have multiple nannies for her children.
The show host asked, “What is one thing that you have said, ‘It will never be me,’ but it’s so you right now?”
The mother of one took a moment to reflect before responding, “Before I had my daughter, I used to say that I would have five nannies and my nanny would have a nanny; that’s not the case.”
Simi revealed that, contrary to her initial plans, she only hires nannies for her daughter Adejare when they are in Nigeria but not when abroad.
“I’m super hands-on. In fact, when we’re in the States, I don’t have any nannies, but here I have someone to watch her when I have to work because I’m busier here than there. That’s just not the kind of mum I ended up being.”
I was so certain back then that I was like, ‘I will have two nannies and those nannies will have a nanny and their nannies will have nannies too’. I shouldn’t have thought that, though, knowing me, I really shouldn’t have,” she stated.
“In the past few years, have you picked up new skills or hobbies that aren’t music?” the host asked, switching the topic.
“I’m trying to write a book, a novel. I used to say that if I wasn’t an artiste I would probably be a novelist. Maybe some romance. Some fantasy, some suspense. I also want to work on a children’s project; it’s an untapped market,” Simi said.
