Rob Lowe's Ex-Nanny's Sister Also Worked For Actor

Jessica Gibson got her job as a nanny for Rob Lowe with the help of a family connection - her half-sister Jamie had also worked for Lowe, their father tells PEOPLE.

"I'm sure [Jamie] thinks if only she could go back and change things she would. But, she can't - there's no point regretting the past," says Jim Gibson. "No one in the family wants her to think that way. What's done is done."

Jessica, who is suing Lowe for sexual harassment, was introduced to the actor by Jamie, who had worked for Lowe and his wife Sheryl as a nanny in 2000 for about a year, then later became their assistant.

Jamie left to get married but wanted to stop working for the couple anyway, Jim Gibson says.

"She was happy to get out of there. She couldn't take it anymore. Nothing really bad happened like it did with Jessie, but Jamie was overworked and couldn't stand it," he says.

I was a nanny for Rob and Sheryl some time ago and I feel strongly that these accusations made against Rob are false. My heart goes out to Rob, Sheryl and the boys. They are a wonderful family, who treated me with nothing but respect. Sheryl actually reached out to me during a very difficult time in my life, after my employment with them had ended. They are both good people who are kind hearted in nature.

Man . . . ARE THERE ANY GOOD NANNIES OUT THERE? All you hear about in the news is about these bad news scammers. They say Nannies are at a premium with so many 2 income households - why so many bad news ones. And this girl . . . she has really given that group another very bad name. How can people leave their children with people like this?

I read that they were paying her $18.00 an hour. With all of Rob's money, wouldn't you hire someone experienced with an impeccable reputation and pay them what they wanted (within reason) if they were responsible for taking care of your children? No wonder all this b.s. is going down. The nanny probably had no experience and the Lowe's went the Wal-mart "route" when shopping for childcare.
