 Elf
Nanny - Diminutive caregiver (played by Niki
Botelho) who was hired as a nanny for Piper's new born baby on the supernatural drama
CHARMED/WB/1998+. On episode No. 97 "Sam I Am" Piper and Leo
held interviews to find an appropriate babysitter for their
soon-to-be born baby. After their initial meeting, Leo commented "That
little elf? Got a big mouth." The Elf Woman told her potential
employers that she didn't cook, did only "light" housekeeping
and wondered if she was "expected to protect the baby from the
incessant demon attacks." Just as Piper tells the Elf Nanny
that demons "rarely attack us in the house" a battle erupts in
the living rooms. The Elf Woman promptly tells Piper to
consider her application withdrawn and then disappears in a puff
of green smoke. Later on episode
No. 110
"Oh My Goddess!" an impending mystical battle
forces many magical creatures to seek refuge at the Halliwell
house, the Elf Woman among them. When the Nanny hears baby
Wyatt crying, she reminds Piper "No, I
rejected you. But I suppose I could fill in, just for a
bit. To which Phoebe comments "Did she just hire herself?"
Upstairs, the Elf Woman comforts baby Wyatt by waving her hand
and magically wrapping him in a blanket. When Leo asks "How'd you know he was cold?
the Elf Woman simply smiles and says "Babies are what I do."
Of course, Piper and Leo hired her as the baby's nanny. But a
still wary Piper tells Leo to keep an eye on her just in case.
As the Nanny, the Elf Woman takes Wyatt for walks in the
fresh air with the stroller, and makes him dinner when Piper is
gone.
"If you do anything to my baby, I will kill you. I will hunt
you and kill you, even if it means coming back from the dead,
and don't think I won't find a way to do that." -- Piper Halliwell
The Elf Nanny
Interview:
| ELF: |
Sorry. I don't cook.
Cooking, that's a no. |
| PIPER: |
Ok, got it. |
| ELF: |
And only light
housecleaning. |
| LEO: |
Oh, that's OK 'cause Piper's
a neat freak. |
| ELF: |
If you don't mind, I have a
few questions of my own. |
| PIPER: |
Oh, of course you do.
Well, yeah, please. |
| ELF: |
Am I expected to protect the
baby from the incessant
demon attacks? |
| PIPER: |
I'd say incessant is a bit
of an overstatement. |
| ELF: |
You are a Charmed One,
correct? |
| PIPER: |
Yes, uh, but that won't
affect your job here. |
| LEO: |
Won't it? |
| PIPER: |
No, honey, it won't. Ha ha. Whitelighters
are such pessimists. Demons,
you see -- demons rarely attack us in the house, so -- |
| PAIGE: |
Darklighter! Incoming! |
| PIPER: |
This is highly unusual. [The Darklighter appears, fires a
poisoned arrow and hits SAM in
the shoulder. Piper stands up and blasts his arm and
weapon into bits.] |
| PAIGE: |
Samuel! [The Elf flinches. The Darklighter leaves the room. Phoebe runs into the room. The Elf turns to Piper.] |
| ELF |
Consider my application
withdrawn.
[The ELF leaves the room in a puff of green smoke) |
| PIPER: |
Damn it. |
