Israeli social media personality Daniela Du'ek has sparked controversy online after posting a video introducing the three nannies caring for her eight-month-old son, Adrian. Du'ek, who became a mother about eight months ago, shared the video with her followers, writing, "Suddenly I realized I've never introduced you to my nannies, so give them a big round of applause." She then presented the nannies, Jorianna, Alma, and Ilene, all of Asian descent, and asked her followers, "And who do you think Adrian likes the most?"

Instead of focusing on Du'ek's question, many social media users expressed outrage and disbelief at the fact that one baby has three nannies. Comments questioned why Du'ek needed so many caregivers for a single child and why she wasn't handling more of the childcare herself. Some users called the situation an "absolute exaggeration" and suggested that a "license should be required to be parents."

The ability of Du'ek to afford three nannies also drew criticism, particularly from parents who raise their children with little to no help. The disparity between Du'ek's situation and that of many other families struggling with childcare costs and availability fueled the online backlash. Du'ek did not clarify whether the three nannies work simultaneously or in shifts, but the lack of explanation did not deter users from voicing their strong opinions on the matter.
