nanny (n.)

"children's nurse," 1795, from widespread child's word for "female adult other than mother" (compare Greek nanna "aunt").

Nanny state, in reference to overintrusive government policies is attested by 1987, the term associated with British political leader Margaret Thatcher, who criticized the tendency.
