Working for Kate Moss would never be an easy task, especially if you're in your fifties with no interest in wild parties.

The supermodel's nanny, Jade Davidson, 21, has quit but luckily help was at hand when Sadie Frost - Kate's best friend - was able to volunteer the services of her mother Mary, 58.

However, Mary - surname Davidson - will not be going into the job totally unprepared as she has been given a little book of tips on how to cope with the turbulent life written by her predecessor Jade who, as chance would have it, also happens to be her daughter.

Sadie's younger sister Jade has written advice on how to handle Kate's hectic party lifestyle and her occasionally fractious moods.

Sadie, Jade and their other sister Holly all clubbed together to buy Mary a ticket to India to have a holiday before she takes on the task of a lifetime.

Mary is understandably nervous, but Jade flew to India to be with her and give her two weeks of schooling on how to handle one of the most demanding and dynamic job descriptions going.

Together they filled two journals of advice, a Kate journal and a Lila Grace journal, packed full of tips and hints from Jade to Mary.

A friend said: "The books are bulging with phone numbers and techniques which Jade is handing over to her mum. Chief among them was how to handle Kate when she comes home after a rough night - and the answer is avoidance and silence.

"Another one is never express disapproval on any level no matter how much you think or feel it."

Mary is also having to learn a little French and Spanish to help Lila, five, with her languages and she's being forced to learn the quickest route for the school run so no time is wasted in la Moss's life.

Mary also has to learn the route from Kate's Cotswolds mansion as she'll be taking Lila Grace there frequently.

Mary already knows Lila Grace well, as Jade often spent weekends at the mother's house in Somerset with Kate's daughter.

The latest appointment means The Primrose Hill set is as tight as ever, with Jade living at sister Sadie's house while she pursues her acting career, and their mother living round the corner with Kate Moss.
