Nanny with wrong surname on passport, say (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nursemaid

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'wrong surname on passport say' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'surname' is 'nursema' which is present in the answer.
'passport' could be 'id' and 'id' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nursemaid that I've seen before include "Alice, for example" , "Childminder" , "her charges are small" , "Be overprotective towards (someone)" , "Woman tending a child or children" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
