Military veteran nannies are the new must-have for helicopter parents

2/5/2013

If you want a nanny who mixes the capability of Mary Poppins with the gung-ho attitude of G.I. Jane, look up former Navy SEAL Jonathan Gilliam. He's founded Tactical Nannies, which is recruiting female military veterans to work as child carers. "These women are protecting the future of the USA," said Gilliam, boasting that his employees "can change diapers as easily as they can reload a semiautomatic." He was inspired to start to business after the tragic deaths of Lucia and Leo Krim, aged six and almost two, who were allegedly murdered by their nanny Yoselyn Ortega in New York City in 2012.
