Meg Whitman's Former Nanny Speaks Out: We Raise Her Kids, We Deserve Respect
Meg Whitman, the former CEO of eBay, is in a whole heap of trouble. Currently running on the Republican ticket for governor, her former Mexican housekeeper Nicandra Diaz Santillan, an illegal immigrant, has stepped forward with tales of hard work, long hours, and non-payment.
And she’s not the only one. Now, the nanny is coming to the housekeepers defense, claiming the exact same harsh treatment. “I know the family. I know what it was like,” Jill Armstrong, a US citizen, told The Chronicle.
Jill worked for the Whitman family in 1988. She quit after just two months, finding the job far too demanding. “I had enough,” she said in an interview. Her issues were trouble getting paid, dealing with household chores, and handling Meg’s two sons.
Tucker Bounds, spokesman for Meg, called Jill’s complaints “the unsubstantiated claims of a lone employee who worked in the Whitman household for just a few weeks 12 years ago.”
But it’s not fame she’s after, claims Jill. “We’re raising their kids, and we deserve respect.”
Griff Harsh, the husband of California gubernatorial candidate Nutneg Whitman, acknowledged in a statement on Thursday that “it is possible” he received and wrote notes on a letter from the Social Security Administration back in 2003, regarding the former housekeeper. The Whitman/ Harsh household then fired their housekeeper in June 2009 (after nine years of service), when Nutmeg handlers decided that she was an election liability.
Meg, Meg, Meg, where do I start, you have reportedly spent $140 million of your own money to get elected Governor but you couldn’t use some of it to get your housekeeper (after nine years of service) some legal help to get her papers, and worse you lied about it. Wow, what a WITCH, of course I meant it with a “B”.

But your comments on holding employers accountable for hiring undocumented workers real takes the cake, I assume you exempt yourself and your husband, or will you be turning yourself in.

Meg you think you can buy the election, but what puzzles many is if you real cared and loved California then why not do your civic duty and vote, seems more rhetoric than anything else.
In good times we might give you a try but not in our disaster mode that we find ourselves in after that so-called outsider Independent Republican, named Arnold Schwarzenegger (sold to us by radio personalities John and Ken), ruined our state, yah we will trust another one of you liars, think not. And another thing nine years this maid was in your house, in your house and you failed to learned this major thing about her, come on this sounds like a huge lie that no one can believe in.
Ebay paid out $200,000 because Nutmeg assaulted an employee, so it’s not the first time she has mistreated an employee. Good luck winning Nutmeg, money will buy you admiration from the majority just from the Gay Old Party (GOP), but not from all of California.
