Crossword Genius

Nurse for a goat (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nanny

This clue is a double definition.

'nurse' is the first definition.
(I know that nurse can be written as nanny)

'goat' is the second definition.
(I know that nanny is a type of goat)

'for a' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for nanny that I've seen before include "Issue tender" , "cares for child?" , "eg Mary Poppins" , "Posh child minder or female goat" , "Child minder - goat - grandma" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent and The Globe and Mail.
