Hi! My name is Antonnette, and I'm a dedicated and compassionate nanny with over five years of experience caring for children of all ages. What sets me apart as a nanny is the heart I bring to this work. I approach every child with patience, understanding, and kindness, always striving to create a nurturing environment where they feel safe, valued, and free to be themselves. I believe in blending fun with structure, offering engaging activities that support learning, creativity, and emotional well-being. In addition to my hands-on experience, I'm currently in school pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education. This allows me to deepen my understanding of child development and apply research-based strategies to support each child's learning and growth in meaningful ways. Over the years, I've become skilled at adapting to each family's unique needs and routines, building strong relationships based on trust and communication. I'm always there with a calm and caring approach.

As a parent, entrusting someone with the care of your child is one of the most difficult decisions you can make—but having Antonnette as our caregiver has been an absolute blessing. From the moment she stepped into our lives, it was clear she wasn’t just here to do a job—she was here to make a difference. Her kindness radiates in everything she does. She speaks to our child with patience and warmth, always getting down to their level, always listening, always responding with gentle understanding. She doesn’t just supervise—she engages. Whether it’s playtime, storytime, or navigating a tough tantrum, she brings a calm, compassionate presence that reassures both child and parent alike. What stands out most about Antonnette is how deeply she cares. She notices the little things: the subtle signs of a bad day, the early hints of a budding interest or fear. And she doesn’t just care for our child—she nurtures them. Her empathy is intuitive, her patience seemingly endless, and her heart is entirely in this work. What sets her apart is her heart. She is incredibly kind and deeply attentive—not just to our child’s needs, but also to their emotions. She notices the little things: when they’re tired but don’t know how to say it, when they need a hug, or when a gentle word can turn their whole day around. She creates an environment where our child feels safe, understood, and completely loved. There have been so many moments when I’ve seen Antonnette go above and beyond—whether it’s taking extra time to talk through big feelings, sitting with our child during tough transitions, or simply showing up with a warm smile and open arms. She treats our child with such dignity and care, and we feel incredibly lucky to have her as part of our lives.
