 |

| I jest not - the ARAB NEWS yesterday ran a large display ad for a Nanny. One of the many requirements was that she must be a university graduate. |

| For the child's sake, here's hoping that Condoleezza doesn't apply. |

| You will still get the innocents asking whether they need to have a degree to teach in KSA. |

Actually, that ad doesn't surprise me.
I know of at least one high-class lady who demanded that her maid have a college degree. I guess it's a status thing, and as maids are so cheap, and "status" so vitally important, I guess it makes sense (?!?)in the Saudi context. |

Louise was a British nanny working in the USA who was accused of beating out a child's brains agaisnt something in the bathroom. It was about 10 years ago so my memory is a bit vague, but the case went on for months and I THINK she was convicted of manslaughter but not murder. She is now back in the UK (I assume she has pursued career options other than in childcare!).
Does anyone out there have more vivid memories of the case?
Who the hell is Daisy Wright? Never heard of her. |

scot47 and Bebsi..... I am a bit disappointed!
Daisy Wright is the blond nanny who used to work for Sienna Miller (the fiancee of famous actor Jude Miller).
Jude allegedly seduced the hot nanny and had sex with her !!
Say no more.....  |

Not only have I never heard of Daisy Wright... I have never heard of Sienna Miller or Jude Miller... so I guess he isn't that 'famous'
