from From 'Nanny,' a pet form of the name Ann (or Nan), used affectionately as a child's name for a caregiver — much like 'granny' from grandmother. The word belongs to a family of soothing nursery sounds built on the repeated 'na' that babies babble early, the same instinct behind 'nana' and 'mama.' By the late 18th to 19th century it had settled into its modern sense of a children's nurse. The 'nanny goat' is a separate but parallel use, treating the goat as a homely female figure.
