Antoinet

Absolutely Amazing Nanny. Highly Recommend!

Antoinet has been caring for our daughter for about a year and we consider ourselves very luck to have found her. Our daughter loved her from the start, and she enjoys spending time with her, she keeps calling for her over the weekends.

Antoinet began working with our daughter when she was around 1 year old and a bit late in starting to talk. Through constantly talking to her, narrating activities, and singing, Antoinette significantly developed her speech. Now, our daughter is a confident speaker, knowing lots of words for her age. This was a great preparation for starting nursery, as she can express what she needs.

Antoinet always suggests activities and groups for our daughter to join which helped develop her social skills and confidence. She always shares pictures of our daughter throughout the day which we enjoy, as well as detailed notes of her meals. Antoinet prepares a variety of healthy and tasty meals for our daughter, and prepares extra portions for the weekend. She is always patient with our daughter who is a fussy eater.


Antoinet comes up with diverse activities and crafts to keep our daughter engaged. She is always singing, playing with her, and reading her stories that she loves. Our daughter is very active but Antoinet manages to keep her busy and entertained the whole day. Antoinet also suggests what we can buy for our daughter’s development, personal items or next season clothing based on her experience which we appreciate a lot.

Antoinet is clam and confident and knows what to do in emergencies so we never feel worried leaving our daughter with her. She is also flexible and adapts to our schedule which can be unpredictable sometimes. She is always helping around the house and sharing valuable advice and tips with us.

Antoinet is a great nanny and a lovely person. With her experience, skills, and attitude, we would happily recommend her to any family. It’s been great to have her around our daughter especially that we don’t have family in the UK.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this glowing review. Your gorgeous little girl is growing so fast and I feel privileged to see and be part of her development x

Fantastic Nanny - Greatly Missed!

Antoinet primarily looked after my youngest son aged 1-2 for 15 months and did pick ups/drop offs and after school care for my eldest son aged 4-5 years, working one day a week for us. The whole experience was seamless and Antoinet slotted in so well into our crazy, busy family household. Even having to deal with our over excited bulldog. The boys warmed to Antoinet straight away especially the youngest and loved his days with her. Antoinet was always eager to make sure my youngest had a fulfilling day and loved his time with her at the local toddler group.
I never had to worry and would really enjoy the little updates and photos during the day while I was at work. I loved that Antoinet would provide a nutritional lunch and dinner and loved having some left over for us to save on the cooking after a day at work.
We were sad to let Antoinet go as I went on maternity leave with my 3rd child. I think the boys were sad too. But love that we have found a reliable Nanny and I’m sure will need babysitting services in future. I know my boys will love that!

Hi Kelly,
Thank you for your kind words. I have enjoyed spending time with your family and wish you all the best with your 3 beautiful children..
See you soon
Antoinette

Truly wonderful, highly recommend

Antoinet has been with our family for over 6 months. During this time she has cared for my 3 children, aged 5, 3 and 1 as well as providing extra care before and after school for my sons best friend. Despite having so many children to juggle, multiple school runs / preschool pick ups and a very annoying beagle to contend with she has never once been overwhelmed by what I know is sometimes a complete mad house! She is always calm, professional, fun and completely capable in any situation thrown at her. She immediately got to grips with our routines, the children's needs and differing personalities. She formed a close bond with them all exceptionally quickly and we immediately felt at ease knowing they were in her care. She made sure to always communicate even the smallest of details and would regularly tell me she had sorted the dates on the food in the fridge or remind me to pick up groceries I was running low on. Small things to some, but these little gestures meant a lot to us. I would not hesitate to recommend Antoinet to anyone, she has been fabulous and it is only due to a change in our financial circumstances that means we sadly have to end our time with her. She shall be missed greatly by us all.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. I will pop over to see how everyone is in the new year. I will look after your children anytime x

Simply exceptional!

I had met several nannies and childminders over the years, but none was like Antoinette. I met her online during the lockdown. She had daily virtual sessions over Skype with my daughter (4 years old) throughout the lockdown. She has been very persistent and patient with her especially given that my daughter was not used to teaching online and she had never met Antoin in person. She managed to engage her with a range of interesting, fun and educational learning activities. We would really love to have her again :) highly reccommended!

Thank you Thea, for taking the time to review the work I carried out with your gorgeous daughter. I have learnt so much and enjoyed my time with her. An hour is a long time to stay focused and she did extremely well X
I look forward to working for you again.

Brilliant Nanny - highly recommended

Antoinet supported our family for around seven months, I found her via childcare.co.uk and we met in person and then with the kids for a walk. From the start Antoinet was warm, caring, organised, practical and supportive. I am a stay at home mum with four children under seven (plus a dog!) and our house can be chaotic and loud - Antoinet was always a calm and fun presence and helped me spend time with the children in a way I couldn't manage on my own. She also offered a lot of practical help with washing, baking, organising kitchen cupboards and art supplies. She noticed the small things that would make a day to day difference in the house and I always appreciated that.

We only parted ways because the coronavirus has meant my husband is now working at home full time so our circumstances have changed significantly. If I ever need help with the kids again Antoinet will be the first person I call.

Thank you Antoinet!
