Former octo-nanny fires back
One of the fired nannies is firing back at Nadya Suleman. On Wednesday’s “The Dr. Phil Show,” one of the Angels in Waiting volunteers alleged the octuplets’ mom cared more about her own celebrity than the welfare of her children. Shocker.
“This woman does not care for these kids,” Linda West-Conforti said. “She is in (it) for the paparazzi, the media. That is my opinion. I’ve been there for a week. I’m the eyes, the ears and the mouth of these little children.”
According to West-Conforti, Suleman was often unreachable or out shopping. Octomom also showed no interest in learning how to care for her new batch of kids.
“Nadya only fed her babies … when a film crew was in her house,” West-Conforti said. “That’s the only time that woman ever volunteered to feed a child. And I tell you what happened: During one episode she was done feeding … she picked up the child (and) gave it to me on my chest. She didn’t burp it; she didn’t change the diaper; (she) walked out of that room and (we didn’t see) her for another 12 hours.”
But wait, there’s more.
West-Conforti also claims that the nannies Suleman hired pose potential health risks to her children.
“I was supposed to be there to train nannies, to train Nadya,” West-Conforti said on the show. “What I get is Hispanic-speaking ladies that are showing up, showing positive for TB.”
The Angels nanny said she saw what appeared to be a “a huge, raised induration” on the arm of one of Suleman’s private nannies, an sign that, according to West-Conforti, the woman had taken a skin test for tuberculosis and received a positive result. (A reaction to the skin test does not necessarily indicate the presence of active tuberculosis; further testing is usually required.)
Her attorney Jeff Czech denied all the allegations.
“Nadya is a very good mother and a very caring mother. The bottom line is the shoe just never fit,” he said of the short-lived arrangement with Angels in Waiting.
