The Serbian woman who was the Trump children's nanny for almost a decade has passed away at the age of 85.

Milka Milisavljevic was living in the Serbian capital of Belgrade when she died earlier this week following a short illness, according to the tabloid Kurir.

Her funeral will be held on Christmas Eve.

She leaves behind two sons and multiple grandchildren, who live in the United States.

Tragedy: Milka Milisavljevic (above in November) passed away in the Serbian capital of Belgrade earlier this week at the age of 85

Assignment: She worked as a nanny for Donald Trump's three older children for eight years beginning in January 1978 (above with a young Ivanka and Eric in 1984)

Milisavljevic came to the United States from her home country in the late 1970s and spent eight years watching over the Trump children, starting with Donald Jr. and then later his younger siblings, Ivanka and Eric.

She took the job very seriously too, and once reportedly said during an interview that she always kept a gun on her because she was concerned for the safety of the Trump children.

And Milisavljevic knew how to use a gun as well, having enrolled in military school before making the decision to travel to America.

After she left the family she continued to work in the United States before returning back home to Belgrade 15 years ago.

She recently gave an interview to the Informer about her old boss and said that after she came to the United States the first job she was offered was to be a nanny for Trump's children.

Milisavljevic said he was very generous and gave her $100 a day, in addition to $1,000 for her birthday each year.

In that interview she said that Trump also liked to speak with the children each night after he returned from work.

Praise: She gave an interview last month to a local tabloid discussing how much she liked Donald, his first wife, Ivana, and their children (Donald Jr. above in undated photo)

Trump was married to first wife Ivana at the time, and Milisavljevic said she was upset when she learned they had gotten a divorce.

Ivana praised the nanny in a letter of recommendation she wrote after Milisavljevic moved on, writing that she was 'hard working, caring, responsible and patient.'

Milisavljevic also said that she wished she could see the children one more time during that interview, which was conducted just last month after Trump won the election.

While caring for the children she even taught them some Serbian she revealed, something their father seemed to appreciate.

She said that Trump would tell her time and time again that Serbian woman are the best and always 'laugh and applaud' her when she sang old folk songs.
