Alice Payne/Bonham

[GOODMAN79]

I have a little question, I was looking for her on the 1881 census because she was not living with her Family, I have found her but I do not understand how she could be a nurse to the head and have the occupation of Laundress For Alfred Hedges. I was wondering if she was a child nurse as they had a child with no age. It would be nice to know.
