A homeless woman with a lengthy rap sheet allegedly tried to snatch two toddlers from a Manhattan playground in a brazen, broad-daylight attempt to steal kids that was eventually thwarted by one “superhero” nanny, police and prosecutors said. 

“I owe my nanny a lot,” said the shaken father of the second of the two kids, whose nanny confronted the twisted child snatcher after she grabbed the 2-year-old and tried to run from the park. 

“They don’t get enough credit but she would do anything to protect my child,” added the dad, who didn’t want his or his child’s name used.
