A New York City nanny accused of killing two children in her care says someone else did it and the charges against her "are all lies."

Yoselyn (YOH'-sih-lihn) Ortega tells the Daily News (http://nydn.us/12I320F ) in a jailhouse interview that she didn't kill 2-year-old Leo Krim and his 6-year-old sister, Lucia.

The children were found dead in the bathtub of their Upper West Side apartment on Oct. 25, 2012. The Krims' third child, 4-year-old Nessie, wasn't home at the time.

Ortega has pleaded not guilty to murder charges. She didn't say who else could be responsible for the killings.

When the newspaper asked her if she loved the slain kids, she said, "My lawyer told me not to talk."
