Insanity nix for nanny

The nanny charged with stabbing two Upper West Side kids to death last year while their mother picked up her other child from a swim lesson was found fit for trial yesterday.

Police said they found Yoselyn Ortega last October in the bathroom of her employer’s apartment. The bodies of 6-year-old Lucia Krim, called “Lulu,” and her 2-year-old brother, Leo, were nearby in a pool of blood, and Ortega had stabbed herself as well.

Ortega was examined by two mental-health professionals, Justice Gregory Carro said in Manhattan state Supreme Court. Both found that she could assist in her defense in a meaningful way and that she was mentally fit to proceed to her trial. Her lawyer, who declined to comment outside court, is challenging those results.

Ortega has pleaded not guilty to murder. Her sister has said she loved the children and is a peaceful woman.
