Nanny droids, also known as Nurse droids, or childcare droids, were a model of droids designed to care for the young, though they could also function as nurses. The RO-series childcare and nanny droid had a multitude of appendages that folded into their body and two food storage tanks were attached to their upper torso. Movement was facilitated through a wheeled locomotion unit. Auntie Nags was a nanny droid. Youth tended to outgrow nanny droids quickly and, for this reason, Ghirra Starros considered them a waste of credits.
IG-series assassin droid IG-11 was reprogrammed and converted into a nanny droid by the Ugnaught Kuiil, initially made to serve as a helping hand before he ultimately served as nurse droid to Grogu. WA-2V was the nanny droid of Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan.
Aryssha had a childcare droid aboard King's Ransom to assist her during her pregnancy. She sliced it and used it to disable the ship's hyperdrive so that her family could rescue her.
