While building her fashion empire in New York, Ivanka Trump had some help maintaining her mom-boss image. Proving that she had mastered the art of the two-for-one deal, she hired a nanny who would care for her kids and teach them Mandarin. The nanny presumably watched the children when Ivanka and Jared Kushner were at work and during their nightly outings. “I get here in three minutes and give them a bath, read to them, and put them to bed, and then I go out almost every night right afterward with Jared,” Ivanka told Vogue of her post-work routine in 2015.
At breakfast time, the Kushner kids did not wolf down microwaved bowls of instant oatmeal with bits of freeze-dried fruit. “I get out all sorts of toppings — chia seeds, berries, flaxseed, goji berries, cinnamon, walnuts, and almonds — and the kids get to ‘decorate’ their oatmeal,” Ivanka told My Morning Routine. Also on the menu were omelet and watermelon pieces shaped like moons and stars. And for a bedtime snack? Fresh raspberries with melted chocolate.
During those days, Ivanka might enlist Arabella’s help modeling shoes from her kids’ clothing line or take the toddler to an opera in Vienna at Christmastime. She also gave her kids tennis lessons and dressed Joseph in a dashing tuxedo whenever she got a Met Gala invite. “It’s become a family tradition for him to escort me to the car and see us off,” she wrote on Instagram.
