01/11/2010

Former au pair and wife of golfer Tiger Woods Elin Nordegren has been spotted hiring a nanny to help her take care of her children.

Her two youngsters Sam and Charlie, who are aged two and 11 months old, were seen with a nanny in Windermere Village in Orlando Florida, People magazine reported.

"After returning from a European skiing trip ... she has been taking turns with a nanny shuttling Sam, two, to a private school," it stated.

"Elin's daily decisions rest on what is good for her and the children," a source told the publication.

The Swede first met her husband Woods while working as an au pair for fellow golfer Jesper Parnevik, also from Sweden.

She was born in Stockholm in 1980 and was introduced to Woods in England at the British Open in 2001. The event was held at Royal Lytham, where she had travelled to conduct her childcare duties along with her twin sister.
