Meet Antonia

Hi! My name is Antonia (Toni for short) and I’m currently a junior studying Animation at CU Denver. As an online student, I have a very flexible schedule. I started working with children when I was 16, and I have loved every second of it. I enjoy dedicating time to foster intellectual growth and creativity. I take an out of the box approach to everyday tasks by teaching kids to intrinsically motivate themselves; I present homework as a reward! This allows kids to learn, play, and accomplish things simply because it brings them joy. I avoid giving one-time extrinsic rewards like “screen time” as much as possible and prefer to let kids be kids. Instead of activities like “screen time”, I enjoy taking kids on outings to the zoo, museum, or library, drawing, cooking, and playing outdoors. Apart from working, in my free time, I love hiking, making art, and Read more cooking.

It is really upsetting to give this review but we were really disappointed with our lasting impression of Toni. We had some miscommunication in the beginning which I wrote off hoping that it was an honest mistake. However, communication and reliability was a big problem for us with Toni. When she showed up, she was great with the kids. I didn't have any issues with her taking care of the kids or even cleaning picking up the house. The biggest problem was response time to text messages in days, getting scheduled days wrong and then completely ghosting our family which was the most hurtful of all. When you introduce your kids to a new caretaker, they get attached. They consider that person a friend and they get confused and hurt when that person leaves without saying bye or not showing up to play with them. She did at least help us get a nanny to cover 1 of her days so I wasn't completely screwed for that one day. Nevertheless the way she "quit" was after that never returning a text message to me and not showing up for the several days I had her scheduled for. Ghosting is not an acceptable communication method.
