Hi there! 😊 Caring for children has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up babysitting my four younger siblings and quickly became the go-to sitter in my neighborhood. My love for working with children led me to tutor kids in reading and volunteer in my church’s nursery and preschool. As a single mother, I lovingly raised two children with special needs, which gave me deep patience, adaptability, and a nurturing approach. Now, I truly enjoy working with families as a Nanny, Household Manager and Personal/Family Assistant—helping create smooth, happy households. Qualifications: ✔ TrustLine Registered ✔ Adult & Child First Aid, CPR & AED Certified ✔ California Food Handler & Food Protection Manager Certified ✔ Sexual Abuse Awareness Training ✔ Valid CA Driver’s License, Reliable Vehicle & Clean Driving Record ✔ 20+ Years of Experience as a Nanny, Household Manager & Personal/Family Read more Assistant Whatever your family's needs may be, I'd love to connect and see if we're a great fit for each other!

Athena is very great with our two super energetic boys. She brought over some treats for them since it was valentines. She was very kind and sweet to them. Somehow got them to bed when we least expected. She also would keep us posted with pics and sent us one of our 3 year old finishing his first puzzle! She made sure we did not miss it and made us at ease while mom and dad were on date night. Highly recommend Athena!

Athena is one of the best babysitters I have ever found, on Sittercity or elsewhere. We were in LA for my husband's job and needed to find someone to watch my oldest daughter. We were exhausted and the kids were rammy when she arrived. I went upstairs to get changed and within in minutes heard laughter and chatter. When I came down, Athena had invented a game for the girls to play. While I was gone, I got updates on the crafts and artwork being made. When I came home, Athena had cleaned the kitchen, which was above and beyond. My daughter LOVED her. I loved her. She's a special person who clearly loves kids and knows what it means to care for them. Thank you, Athena!!
