News, Hero nanny badly burned saving boy. (single dad, girl, child)

[JD59]

She ran barefoot to the rescue through 400-degree flames


The young woman sat in a wheelchair, her feet swaddled in special bandages for burns, her right arm and hand also heavily bandaged. Snuggling under her left arm was a 5-year-old boy who looked up at her frequently and from time to time caressed her fingers.

i suspect that the physical pain she is enduring---which is horrible, would be nothing compared to the emotional pain she would have endured is she had not at least tried to save him...

She is a true Supernanny! I saw this story on the news...such a lucky family to have this girl working for them!

Nice for a positive nanny story to be heralded. Too much of the time nannies are approached with negativity and suspicion, due to the press glamorizing the few truly horrible cases of child abuse that have been carried out by nannies.

Give that woman a raise!!! She is amazing, and I love the bond between her and the little boy.

I saw this on the Today show -she had only been with the family for 2 months- a single dad- didn't mention anything about the mom but that little boy just loves her- what a true hero !!
