I have experience as a nanny/babysitter for more than a decade. I love children, and like my own grandchildren, I enjoy seeing them blossom through their developmental mileages. (Please refer to my references for testimonies to my work). I retired early from my role as a Payroll Analyst at UCLA to care for my grandsons (now 8 and 10) when they were born. For 7 years, I was their primary caregiver (my daughter and son-in-law are both busy attorneys). I nurtured, played with, cared for, and educated my grandsons in every way, including taking them to enrichment activities and planning every aspect of their day. Both of my grandsons were reading by 3 years old. From potty-training, to baths, tennis practice, swimming classes, to zoo trips, to playdates and then eventually to school drop-offs, pickups and homework supervision, I did it all with great joy. It would be my pleasure Read more to bring the same joy, kindness and care to your child(ren). I am careful, attentive, punctual, conscientious and energetic. I am fully-vaccinated. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

Effie was our beloved nanny for over two years starting when our younger daughter was 10 months old. She was a dream nanny, warm, kind, calm, patient and unflappable. Effie had an amazing way with her, guiding her gently through many milestones while fostering her growth and independence through play. She was always reliable, trustworthy, conscientious and dedicated. She truly cared for our girls as if they were her own and was a valued member of our family. We miss her to this day but are so grateful to have had her in our lives. She’s one of a kind!

Effie is so kind and full of energy! She is very nice and pleasant to be around :) She was so patient and calm with my high-energy 2.5 yr old boy and also so loving and nurturing with my 3.5 month baby. I would not hesitate to ask Effie to come again!!

Hi moms, Just a little recommendation for Effie..... She has been helping me with my 3 year old daughter since last fall. We use her as often as possible. My little one actually asks for her when she wakes up and realizes I am going somewhere. Effie is VERY interactive with merce. They do puzzles, read books, go to the park for hours. She makes my little one whatever food she requests (if it's healthy)! Effie is always on time and very reliable. We love having her as a part of our family :)

Effie was wonderful with our three kids in a small air bnb. She is a person who exudes calmness and kindness and instantly made me feel comfortable and confident leaving my kids with her. Communicative and right on time. Very patient with my overtired vacationing kiddos.
