Katona hires 'Mary Poppins nanny'

Kerry Katona has reportedly hired a new Mary Poppins-style nanny to help look after her family.

The former Atomic Kitten singer has had a total of five nannies in three years and has now opted for an older, more experienced woman to tend to her four children, reports heat.

"The new nanny is completely different, she is more mature, in her 50s, smartly dressed and a real professional who won't stand for any nonsense," said a source.

"It's a tough job and takes a strong person to deal with such a big family."

Katona was previously involved in a feud with husband Mark Croft after he demanded that she spend more time with her children rather than relying on her staff.
