N.Z. girl nurses famous baby

PA Tauranga A Tauranga girl, Joanne Boyle, aged 21, is working as a Karitane nurse with one of this year’s most publicised babies. Miss Boyle works near London for Mrs Kim Casali, the creator of the “Love is ...” cartoons and the mother of a baby bom earlier this month after artificial insemination from sperm deposits left by her late husband, Roberto Casali. When Miss Boyle accepted the job of looking after Mrs Casali’s two sons, Dario and Stefano, in October last year, she had no idea that there : would be another baby, i “She didn’t know anything ■about it until two or three months after she started work,” her mother, Mrs E. IF. Boyle, said in Tauranga. “Mrs Casali was thrilled, and once Joanne had got used Ito the idea, she was looking I forward to the new baby, ■ too.”

i The news that Mrs Casali was to have another baby e broke only a week or two g before the birth. e “Once the news was out, - there were reporters around the house all the time,” Mrs r Boyle said. “Joanne couldn’t , go down to the shop without s reporters following her, r wanting to know what was s happening. “She felt very sorry for s Mrs Casali, who had no priv- - acy. She says that things are returning to normal now, i and the new baby, Mik, is s a beautiful little boy.” 1 Mrs Casali’s mother, who , was a Karitane nurse, is also i helping with the new baby. She travelled from New Zea- ; land last year. ? Miss Boyle was also of--1 fered a job working for the . lead singer of the pop group. Pink Floyd, and his wife, but , she did not accept it. 1 “It would have meant an- ; other contract, and she did , not want to be tied,” Mrs Boyle said.
