Claudia Schiffer hates leaving kids with the nanny

September 24th, 2006

German supermodel Claudia Schiffer feels guilty when she leaves her children in the care of a nanny because she thinks she should spend the whole day with them. Schiffer, who has a three-year-old son, Casper, and a 22-month-old daughter, Clementine, with her British director husband Matthew Vaughn, feels it’s part of her duty as a mother to be there for her children all the time.
She tells German newspaper Die Zeit, “Even if I spend lots of time with the children I always feel guilty when I go to work. I have the feeling inside that I should be with them the whole day.”
The 36-year-old, who lives with her family in the UK, has fixed times she spends with their kids. She adds, “Even if I have a lot of work this is a sacred time. There will be no phone ringing and no assistant coming in.”
