Nanny droid

"JUST SAY 'I QUIT' AND THE DROID TRUCK WILL TAKE YOU BACK DOWN THE HILL! BACK TO YOUR MOMMIES AND YOUR NANNY DROIDS!"

―Lieutenant Currahee to a group of Imperial cadets

Nanny droids, or Nurse droids, were a model of droids designed to care for the young, though they could also function as nurses. They 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 an example of this model. 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.
