LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The former personal assistant of Kris Jenner has opened up about the highs and lows of working for the famous family, including her "nightmares" about the Kardashians, having to sign a strict nondisclosure agreement, and creating a PowerPoint presentation for herself to research the names of fashion designers.

Originally from Washington, Madeline 'Maddie' Steitz currently resides in Venice Beach, California, and claims to have been Kris' assistant from February to April of 2022 before departing to launch her own company.

Maddie gained a lot of knowledge over those three months, and she's since gone viral on TikTok by sharing some of the insightful things Kris, 68, taught her.

She has also revealed some of the drawbacks of working for a famous person, as well as the secrets she learned while working for the manager.

In her most recent video, Maddie discussed how much time she spent thinking about her boss—something she "does not miss" about working for Kris, as reported by DailyMail.

She added that because she worked for such a well-known family, she was essentially thinking about them all the time, which caused her to have terrible nightmares at night.

She said, "One thing I do not miss about being Kris Jenner's personal assistant is how much time I spent thinking about the Kardashians."

Madeline 'would literally have nightmares of the Kardashians'

She added, "I would literally have nightmares about all the Kardashians because I just couldn't stop thinking about them all the time. But that's just part of being a personal assistant."

In a follow-up video, Maddie insisted her bad dreams didn't stem from anything negative that Kris did, but that they were just 'part of the job.'

She said, "It's totally part of the job, no matter who you work for. Their whole life is your life.

She added, "One person I used to work for, the lock on their front door would sometimes get stuck and I would think about it at the most random times and not be able to go to sleep because I would be afraid their front door was unlocked."

She added in the caption, "Personal assistant life is its own form of trauma haha."

Maddie revealed even more details about what it was like to work for the mogul in other recordings.

She remembered growing up in a "small town" in Washington and "never really having a lot of money," so she had to teach herself how to pronounce the names of fashion labels.

To avoid "sounding like an idiot" when discussing fashion with Kris, she claimed she would "study" for hours on end.
