A job for supernanny - octuplet mother begins interviewing for round-the-clock help
Amar Singh11 Mar 2009
Even Mary Poppins would have found this a tall order.
Nadya Suleman, the 33-year-old Californian who gave birth to octuplets two months ago, has begun interviewing for nannies.
Ms Suleman, who is getting ready to move into her new home with her total brood of 14 children, has agreed to accept free, in-home, round-the-clock nursing from a non-profit group Angels in Waiting.
She told TV talkshow host Dr Phil McGraw that the offer felt like "a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders".
Ms Suleman's babies were born nine weeks premature but are the world's longest-surviving octuplets. McGraw is said to have mediated the agreement between Suleman and the nursing providers, who were represented by lawyer Gloria Allred. He said Ms Suleman distrusted Ms Allred because the lawyer asked child welfare officials to investigate the mother.
Ms Suleman has been criticised after it was revealed that all her children were conceived through in vitro fertilisation and she was unemployed and single.

I am sorry but she should be made to pay for the upkeep of her 14 children. She knew she was having 8 more children in addition to the 6 she already had.
