Jamie Lynn Spears is planning to go to university to study for a business degree, as soon as her baby daughter is old enough to be left with a nanny.

The teen actress, sister of pop star Britney, isn't content to remain a stay-at-home mum to four-month-old Maddie.

Seventeen-year-old Jamie Lynn is itching to finish her education - and will leave the tot with her mother Lynne so she can go to college.

She tells Ok! magazine, "I want to get my business degree. I could take online courses right now, but with Maddie being so young, it's hard to sit down and focus, I'm going to wait until she's a little bit older, and she can stay with my mama while I go to classes. I do want to go to college and get a degree."
