Minding Children

Josephine Strane has never known a real family when as a teenager she goes to work for Dr and Mrs Casey, caring for Baby Jane. Soon she has made herself so indispensable that when things go wrong she is able to move on with a glowing reference. Then comes an American couple with their small son Robin, who charms everyone with his laughing blue eyes and cheeky ways - the perfect family. What they do not realise until too late is that Josephine is anything but the perfect child-minder.

'Minding Children' draws an arresting portrait of a tormented soul struggling to reconcile her competing desires to be loved and to gain power over others. The result is every parent's nightmare: the wrong person in the wrong place - minding children.
