• Comfortable with pets

My name is Antoinette Bannister. I am from Jacksonville, Florida. I have 6 siblings, 2 older brothers and 4 sisters (2 older and 2 younger than I am). I am the 5th child out of the 7. All of my older siblings all have kids and I am very close with them. I love being around them whenever I have the chances and I treat them as if they're my sisters and brothers, rather my nieces and nephews. My most recent nephew, which is now 3 years old, feels like he is my son. Just because I was there when he was born and I basically helped his mom raise him up to now. I am 22 years old and I attend East Carolina University. I am a junior, majoring in Family and Community Services. I am specializing in Early Intervention/ Child Development. I love working with children and getting Read more to know them and their individual personalities. I also enjoy watching children grow and learn, helping them as they grow and face new challenges in school and life in general. My parents have their own non-profit organization which is called Young Christians in Actions Youth Sports. Incorporated in their organization, they have their own AAU basketball team. They coaches girls from 5 years old up until they are seniors in high school. Because of my parent’s passion for helping others and the love they have for kids, that is where i get mine from. Anytime I get the chance to go home, I am always helping my parents around with different kids. I have been working with children since I was about 13 years old years in the position of volunteering in my church nursery, camp counselor, reading to children at my high school, and basketball coach. I have worked with all ages from newborn to 18 years old. Anytime I come in contact with kids and I build a relationship with them, I always look at them as if they are my little sisters or brothers. With that being said, I look forward to completing my degree and starting my own non-profit organization for under privileged kids. Kids are simply my favorite to be around never a dull moment.
