Today's nannies are not stout grey-haired figures in crisply starched uniforms pushing a Silver Cross pram through the park and teaching toddlers table manners. Now they are more likely to be Australians in jeans and trainers who will enliven your child's routine with football games, McDonalds and a lifetime addiction to Neighbours.
Thanks to the huge upsurge in numbers of working mothers, nannies are in such demand that trained ones can call the tune when it comes to employers.
There are plenty of modest couples offering a job with reasonable money and time off, but who are turned down by a nanny who can command a position in a wealthier family which includes her own flat, personal telephone line, use of the Mercedes, all living expenses paid and a salary of up to pounds 200 a week.
The rich families with two homes and an extravagant taste in holidays - which the nanny may well sample - do not necessarily make better employers but it is difficult for young girls to remain unimpressed by a glamorous- sounding lifestyle.
By the same token an untrained au pair who comes cheap is often not the wisest choice for childcare but is a real temptation for a family under financial pressure when both parents have demanding jobs and need help to look after their children.
The case of Louise Woodward has thrown the already precarious relationship of nannies and parents into something of an impasse. Employing a nanny is probably the most important decision a parent makes. They are trusting the most precious thing in their lives to a girl who is at first a complete stranger.
She may be competent and responsible. But she will not be perfect. Just as a secretary, a colleague or a friend may make mistakes, the chances are the nanny will, too. She may even tell the odd lie. If she is very young, being in charge of a toddler and a baby all day every day will test her patience to the limit. These are the facts and they are often glossed over by mothers who feel a deep sense of guilt that their children are being cared for by strangers.
And of course there are accidents. One mother vividly recalls being telephoned in the middle of an important business meeting to be told her daughter was in hospital after the nanny had shut the child's hand in the car door. This mother knew it was an accident, that it could have happened whoever was in charge and showed sympathy to the mortified nanny. But other mothers may have held an emotional grudge over the incident even though rationally they know the nanny was not at fault.
But how exactly do you choose a nanny? The cheapest way is to put an advertisement in The Lady magazine, the job-seeking nanny's Bible. The problem here is that you will have to sift through dozens of telephone calls and select perhaps six applicants for an interview.
For a busy woman this is often not possible and the current nanny is sometimes deputed to sift through the applicants for her successor - not always a happy option. Nor can the employer easily stipulate over the phone that she is averse to girls with body odour or ones who weigh in at 16 stone. When she has narrowed the field down to two or three, she will need to take up references.
The alternative is to let a nanny agency do all this for you at a cost of between pounds 300 and pounds 600. Most agencies are very good at listening to your description of the kind of girl you want. It they don't listen, try another agency.
If you believe it would complicate life having a vegetarian in your house you can tell this to the agency. If you would be bothered by a girl with green hair, tattoos and pierced nose and lip - say so. Things like this are hard to phrase in an advertisement and would make you sound like a prejudiced and fussy employer.
Many agencies run support groups for their nannies, putting girls in touch with each other if they are in the same area and inviting the nannies to report how things are going with the family. By acting as a go-between, agencies can sometimes nip problems in the bud before they grow insurmountable.
Nannies do need other nannies - even if it is only to grouse about their hours, money and working conditions - annoying for the employer but essential for the girl who needs to let off steam if she has to cope with toddler tantrums for long hours.
Lonely nannies are also vulnerable. One girl I employed from New Zealand began going to meetings at the Church of Scientology. She insisted it was only for a laugh and that she didn't believe in any of it. But the organisation played on her weaknesses and essential loneliness. Despite warnings from us, her family and other nannies, she became hooked.
Jennie Younger, Director of Investor Relations at Glaxo Wellcome, was set for a high-flying career when she began her family seven years ago. She knew her work would involve long hours and travel. She decided then that she needed to have a nanny she could rely on absolutely not only to look after the children but to run the house and on occasions organise her husband. She did not consider untrained teenagers as a viable option.
"Seven years on, Jan is still with us. She is my age, 41, and she looks after my three children. She is an absolute rock and is even moving with us from London to the country. We have been lucky but I was very specific about what I was looking for."
Once you have chosen your nanny the communication lines must be kept open. She needs the opportunity to raise problems just as much as you do. I well remember one German au pair sitting on her bed close to tears because her patience had been tried to the limit by the behaviour of my daughter who was intent on testing the new nanny to see how much she could get away with.
It was important the au pair told me this and that we made time to discuss it and ensure she would tell me if the situation was repeated. The discussion defused a potential explosion.
At least one London nanny agency boasts that it does police checks on all nannies. This may comfort a nervous employer but nothing can guarantee that a teenager, tired and frustrated with the sole responsibility of young children, will not lose her temper in a moment of anger.
Among the many nanny agencies some of the most reputable include: Nannies of Kensington (0171-937-2333), Regency Nannies (0171-225-1055) and Bellamy Nannies (0181-748-3838).Reuse content

I've never been a religious person – I wasn't brought up with religion and have only dabbled in church attendance at the behest of my wife. Yet I've always been interested in spirituality, the reaching toward something greater than the world gives us at face value. That interest has led me to various religious texts (including reading the Bible cover to cover, which I can't really recommend). It has also led me toward music groups that strive for something beyond power chords and post-show groupies (not that there's anything wrong with that). Groups like Pearl Jam, R.E.M., and, most of all, U2.
So I was especially interested to read a new book, One Step Closer: Why U2 Matters to Those Seeking God, by Christian Scharen. A teacher of practical theology at Yale Divinity School and an ordained pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Scharen knows his Christianity. Perhaps surprisingly, he also knows his U2. And he uses his knowledge of both to explain the "theology of the cross" and how U2 embodies this concept in their music.
To my understanding, the theology of the cross is a worldview that understands no one gets to heaven by being good but rather by the grace of God that forgives our sins. It seeks the glory of God without turning away from the sorrows of the world, without using religion for power or status, and without turning a blind eye to the world while keeping a self-righteous eye trained on the next life. (I may be adding a little personal commentary there that doesn't quite hit the mark, however.) It is, as one U2 song puts it, "Looking for the baby Jesus under the trash."
While never used in this way, One Step Closer's original intent was to serve as a retreat curriculum for college-age students. However, its use of both U2 lyrics and updated, plain language Bible "translations" (my word, not the author's) from Eugene Peterson's The Message give it an accessibility that readers of any age will appreciate.
In most chapters, Scharen begins by discussing an aspect of Christianity and the theology of the cross, then shows where U2 has used these same themes in their songs. This ranges from U2's direct use of scripture in song, such as using Psalm 40 in the song "40", to the use of parables in songs like "Crumbs from Your Table" to spiritual doubt heard in songs such as "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For".
Although I've been a U2 fan for years, I've often sang along without thinking too hard about their songs' meanings, enjoying the feel more than any literal lyrical message. One Step Closer gave me some interesting insights I wouldn't have picked up on otherwise. These include U2's use of a feminine God as the subject in the song "Mysterious Ways". Or telling the story of Jesus from Judas' perspective in "Until the End of the World". Or their consistent use of the word "you" in a way that signifies God but leaves a song open to wider interpretations.
I enjoyed One Step Closer on a number of levels. I enjoyed it as a U2 fan, and it also gave me insight into Biblical passages or stories I hadn't quite grasped in the past. Most important, though, the book gave me hope. U2 has always understood that Jesus hung with the riffraff, not because they needed him the most, but because they were truthful in their sin and open to his message — it was the righteous and powerful that ultimately crucified him. In an age where our leaders too often use religion as a holier-than-thou political weapon to figuratively crucify their enemies, it's refreshing to read a religious writer put the spotlight back on Jesus' call for love, inclusion, and for lifting up the downtrodden among us.
Would I recommend this book to you? That depends. It's certainly not your typical U2 book. And it's not your typical Christian book. But if you have an interest in either, or both, it may lead to new perspectives and appreciations that are well worth your time and effort.Powered by Sidelines

Report: Soda piling on pounds
An extra can of soda a day can pile on 15 pounds in a single year, and the "weight of evidence" strongly suggests that this sort of increased consumption is a key reason that more people have gained weight, the researchers say.
"We tried to look at the big picture rather than individual studies," and it clearly justifies public health efforts to limit sugar-sweetened beverages, said Dr. Frank Hu, who led the report published Tuesday in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
He and others at the Harvard School of Public Health reviewed 40 years of nutrition studies that met strict standards for relevance and scientific muster. The work was funded by ongoing grants to his lab from the federal government and the American Heart Association.
Soft drink trends have marched lock-step with the growing obesity epidemic, but industry groups have long fought efforts to say one directly caused the other. Not all studies conclude that beverages are at fault, and the new analysis ignored some that would have discounted such a link, the American Beverage Association said in a statement issued in response to the study.
"Blaming one specific product or ingredient as the root cause of obesity defies common sense. Instead, there are many contributing factors, including regular physical activity," says a statement from the group's senior science consultant, Richard Adamson.
However, Dr. David Ludwig, director of the obesity program at Children's Hospital in Boston and a longtime advocate of curbs on soda, said blaming other factors misses the point.
"Could you imagine somebody saying we should ignore the contribution of hypertension to heart attack because there are many causes? It's ludicrous. Yet this argument resurfaces with regard to obesity," Ludwig said.
When it comes to beverage trends and obesity, "it's like documenting the force of gravity," he said. "There's an overwhelmingly strong case to be made for a causal relationship."
About one-third of all carbohydrate calories in the American diet come from added sweeteners, and beverages account for about half of this amount, the new report says.
The main sweetener in beverages _ high-fructose corn syrup _ contains slightly more fructose than ordinary table sugar. Some studies suggest that pure fructose fails to spur production of insulin, which is needed to "process" calories, or leptin, a substance that helps regulate appetite.
Industry scientists say this small difference in fructose content does not justify some nutrition experts' arguments that sweetened beverages are less satisfying.
Regardless of this debate, a single 12-ounce can of soda provides the equivalent of 10 teaspoons of table sugar, the Harvard review says.
The 30 studies included in the new review are of different types _ experiments where beverages were curtailed or modified, studies of cross-sections of the population. While all do not show harm, they collectively suggest that soda and sugary drinks "should be discouraged," the authors write.
Federal dietary guidelines recommend beverages without added sugars, and the World Health Organization advises that added sugars should provide no more than 10 percent of total calories.
Increasingly, sugary drinks are being restricted in schools. In May, top beverage distributors agreed to stop selling non-diet sodas in certain schools and restricted sales in certain settings where young children buy them.
