Over the years, Sister Wives fans have questioned Robyn’s decision to hire a nanny for the family and the kids.

And many still bring up the topic every now and then. People often compared that Robyn didn’t have that much load as compared to the other sister wives.

The family even mentioned that one of the wives’ jobs was to take care of the kids. Regardless, it was later revealed that the nanny hired was Mindy and that she was actually related to the Brown family.

Sister Wives: Mindy Explains Why Robyn Brown Needed A Nanny

Many of Sister Wives fans have been recently revisiting the nanny controversy after Mindy addressed it during a TLC couch session. It all started when Christine confessed to feeling hurt by Robyn’s decision to hire a nanny.

According to Mindy, she didn’t like the fact that there were many conspiracy theories about her role in the family. Mindy claimed that she was hired so that filming the show was possible.

She said the Browns could not maintain a proper filming schedule without hiring someone. She also confirmed that TLC and the family paid for her services. However, she explained that she requested full-time hours herself. That meant that she was only working for Robyn’s household.

Mindy added that TLC has helped other wives hire childcare, except for Meri. According to her, all the wives appreciated her help.

Still, fans feel about the matter in a certain way. Many Reddit users questioned why Robyn needed a nanny during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Some pointed out that Kody spent most of his time at Robyn’s house and didn’t need outside help as much. Others noted that filming was self-shot at the time, so they didn’t understand the problems.
