A 24-year-old Henderson nanny, who pleaded not guilty to charges of child abuse on Tuesday, will face trial Jan. 30 before District Judge Donald Mosley.

Bethany Ford is charged with two counts of felony child abuse for allegedly shaking 6-month-old Ryan Kuckler on Dec. 28, causing a skull fracture and acute bleeding in the brain.

Ford, who is currently out of custody on $6,000 bail, will have one additional condition attached to her bail status.

Mosley said Ford is not to "work in any child care center" or obtain employment that in anyway involves her being the caregiver of a child during the course of her case.

Ford, who said she has an associate's degree in sociology, told the judge Tuesday that she understood that additional restriction.
