Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt want 'Mary Poppins' English live-in nanny

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are said to be recruiting a Mary Poppins style English nanny to help them raise their new-born twins. The successful candidate would live with the couple and their family at their £35 million French chateau. Jolie, 33, gave birth to Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline at the weekend. The new arrivals bring their brood to six. The actors already have a biological daughter, Shiloh, two, and Jolie has adopted Maddox, six, Pax, four and three-year-old Zahara.

She recently admitted that she and Pitt, 44, were finding it difficult juggling parenthood and film careers.
"With two little babies to look after, I guess you reach a point where it becomes a practical question and we'll need full-time help," Jolie said. A source close to the couple said they were looking to solve the problem by hiring a live-in nanny for Chateau Miraval in the south of France. The new residence boasts 35 bedrooms as well as a lake, forest, and a vineyard, which the couple bought after noticing the property while flying over it in a helicopter.

"They have an established and reputable agency in London going through the process of finding them the ideal person - with the main stipulation that they choose a nanny who is English," said the source.
