I've Been a Puppet, a Pauper, a Pirate, a Poet, a Pawn ® ... a Nanny?

...So what term would be the most appropriate and closer to the truth for Greta Caruso with regard to her true relevancy to Jake Gyllenhaal, and possibly, the extended family?

How about the word, nanny? 

Let's take a stroll down memory lane, shall we? The picture below was one of several posted on IHJ, dated September 28, 2006. The set was entitled "Out With Friends in New York City" and featured Jake, Chris Fischer and Greta Caruso. Just Jared was quick to note that the October 19 pics were the first time for Greta to be seen with Jake, but actually these photos from late September came first.



On October 19, came two sets of IHJ pictures. First, there were photos of Jake with Greta.  


Then the second set were of Jake and Maggie. 


The two photo albums were portrayed as completely separate outings.  And yet, Getty Images had this to say about that day:


S[sic] actor Jake Gyllenhaal is seen with David Caruso's daughter, Greta Caruso, in the West Village in New York City, NY, USA on October 19, 2006. After leaving his sister's apartment, they take a cab to Soho where they enter a Chinese restaurant before returning to the apartment with take-away food. -
Interestingly enough, October 19 was just shortly after an important date in the Gyllenhaal family history.  While September 28 preceded that date.  Almost like two bookends. The important day in question, was actually in the middle, the day Ramona Sarsgaard was born, October 3.

So if Greta was seen leaving Maggie's apartment (and re-entering with food), was this first appearance affiliated more with Maggie having recently given birth and perhaps in need of a personal assistant, i.e., nanny?  Or, as Jake's friend?   A couple of real time comments from an IHJ thread might lend some insight:

Anybody know anything about the nanny mentioned in this Oct 16, 2006 OK magazine article?
I don't but it could be the girl he was photographed with in New York recently and the one he was seen with in a restaurant

Who is this nanny? I thought he was single.
But then again, those rumours about him with
that snowboarder were complete rubbish, so you
never know.

Greta is Jake's sisters personal assistant. Her mother and their mother are friends.

1:48AM: Then shouldn't she be hanging out with Maggie? Or is Jake dating his sisters PA? Not that it's any of my business, she is cute.

Could "personal assistant" indeed translate to "nanny"?
