Dear Family
Hi, I’m Antonia! I’m originally from Vermont but have been living in Dublin for the past five years. I recently graduated from Trinity College Dublin with a degree in Biological and Biomedical Sciences, and I’m hoping to pursue medicine in the future. Alongside my studies, I’ve always loved working with kids and have years of experience caring for little ones, from newborns to school-age. I’ve looked after families with multiple children at once, and I’m comfortable with everything from daily routines and school runs to playtime, meals, and bedtime. I’d describe myself as caring, reliable, and organised, with a lot of energy and patience. I’m now looking for a full-time nanny role where I can bring all of that experience to support a family and make sure the kids are well cared for and happy. Outside of work, I love staying active, running, hiking, and snowboarding when I can. I’m also big into reading, music (I play the violin), and I’ve recently started learning Italian.
My Favourite Memory
I don’t have just one favourite memory, but growing up skiing and snowboarding definitely shaped some of my most special ones. My dad worked on Ski Patrol throughout my childhood, so he was always with us on the mountain and taught us everything we knew. One moment that stands out was when I had just transitioned to snowboarding around age eight, and he took me down my first black run. It was daunting at the time, but he talked me through each step. I made it down in one piece, and although it was a huge challenge, it became one of those memories that sticks with you. That same run is now one of my favourites. Later on, during a university ski trip, I went down my first off-piste run with friends. It gave me the same rush I had as a kid, except this time it was just me, no one telling me where to turn or which line to take. It was exhilarating and reminded me how those early experiences on the mountain gave me the confidence to face challenges on my own.
My Experience
I’ve worked with kids throughout my life — some of my very first jobs were as a babysitter and nanny for families in Vermont, where I cared for children from newborns up to ten years old. My most relevant experience was looking after three siblings aged 2, 5, and 7, where I managed their daily routines, meals, playtime, and school runs. I also spent a summer in high school as a camp counselor, planning activities and supervising groups of children in a busy, fun environment. In college, I studied Biological and Biomedical Sciences at Trinity College Dublin, specialising in biochemistry. Through my degree, I gained experience in research and laboratory work, developed strong organisational and communication skills, and learned to balance multiple responsibilities. These experiences have taught me to be reliable, detail-oriented, and adaptable — qualities I bring with me into childcare as well.
My Education
I graduated from Trinity College Dublin with a degree in Biological and Biomedical Sciences, where I specialised in biochemistry. My studies gave me a strong background in health and science, as well as valuable experience working on research projects and managing responsibilities in a structured environment. Living and studying in Dublin for the past five years has also helped me grow as a person, balancing academics, work, and life while building a strong sense of organisation, reliability, and care.
My Family
Family has always been at the center of my life. I’m very close with my older brother, who now lives in London, and even though we both live far from our parents, we make a big effort to stay connected. Growing up, the four of us spent a lot of time traveling together, being outdoors, and sharing family meals. Whenever my brother and I go back home to Vermont it always feels really special: spending time outside, cooking together, and simply enjoying each other’s company. We also make the most of any chance to meet when my parents visit Ireland or the UK, so we still get those moments of family time throughout the year.
My Motivation
I’m interested in working with families because I really value the trust and connection that comes with being part of a child’s daily life. Growing up, I spent a lot of time caring for younger children and I’ve always enjoyed the sense of responsibility and joy that comes with helping them feel safe, supported, and happy. For me, working with families means being able to provide that consistency and care, while also building relationships that make a real difference in their everyday lives.
My Interests
I’ve always had a wide range of interests, most of which connect back to staying active, learning, and being creative. I love spending time outdoors — snowboarding, hiking, and running are big parts of my life, and I also grew up rowing, which taught me a lot about discipline and teamwork. I’m an avid reader and always keep a small library with me wherever I live, filled with everything from novels and memoirs to non-fiction. Music has also been important to me; I enjoy playing the violin and exploring different styles. I’ve recently started learning Italian, which has been both fun and challenging. And, of course, science is a huge passion of mine — my degree in Biological and Biomedical Sciences only deepened my fascination with understanding how things work, and I loved dedicating myself fully to it during my studies.
