The women hired by troubled pop star Britney Spears to look after her two sons say that the singer was seeking friends rather than nannies.

They were asked just a few questions about their work or child raising skills and more on their personal lives, reported Newsweek.com.

One woman said: "The agency that called me emphasised that Britney was looking for a nanny who was young and hip because they wanted her to interact with people her own age. Basically, Britney wanted a friend."

An informed source said: "Britney asked me and one of her nannies to come to her room to watch her try on outfits for a party one night. Then she stripped down naked in front of us!

"One nanny told me that Britney would hold her kids for 10 minutes and then say, 'I'm done now. You can take them'."
