I have been working with children ages 3 to 6 in an English and/or German speaking pre-k setting for over 28 years. From Sep. '21-Dec.'24 I was the lead teacher of the German Intern. School pre-k class. For 7 years I have been employed in a public school district Special-education classroom, working with children of various ages and disabilities. I am 
CPR/First Aid certified, receive Development courses and other sources for infant- school age children. I work w/babies and older kids as a nanny/sitter/German teacher and enjoy being a part of their family. I also accompany them on trips to Europe or domestically. I am experienced in driving children to and from school as well as to after school activities. I am a passionate gardener, love baking bread and cooking. I used to have horses and loved horse riding as well as traditional dance and Latin dance.

Annette was fantastic with my children - very engaged and made me feel confident that they were being well cared for. She brought activities and had great age appropriate plans. 

We started working with Annette when our twins were about 6 months old and she has been amazing ever since! Annette is wonderful with our children - very caring, playful, and thoughtful. She is very experienced and we trust her completely with the care of our young twins. They love to see her every time she comes over even though we are deep in the separation anxiety phase!! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for quality childcare across all ages! 

Annette has been a vital part of our children's lives over the past several years.  She is a rare talent, and someone that has become part of our family.  I recommend her highly and consider her to be the most reliable, most gifted caregiver we have had the pleasure of working with.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Annette, and if I had children, I would happily choose her as their nanny. Her organizational skills, responsibility, and reliability are truly commendable. She’s bringing positivity and motivation to the workplace, and I thoroughly enjoyed working with her.

We were so blessed to find Annette. I cannot thank her enough for her punctuality, flexibility, work ethic, courtesy, and decency. She stepped up when we needed it and we are so thankful. She is just a gem of a person who genuinely cares. I can see why other families have trusted Frau Annette for decades.

Frau Annette has a special place in the heart of our family. She has been taking care of our two boys (3 and 7) for years and they absolutely love her. When you ask my 3 year old who his best friend is, he says Frau Annette! I'm a German living in Texas, so I was blessed to find her so she can talk German (and English) with my boys. Thank you for who you are, Frau Annette!!!

Annette is an exceptional caregiver who genuinely cares for and enjoys working with children. She consistently creates a safe nurturing environment where our child can thrive. She’s creative and energetic and will go above and beyond to let us know about our child’s day. She builds strong relationships with children and will go the extra mile to make sure that they feel loved and supported. Our son has been fortunate to be under her care. I highly recommend her to other families. 

Annette is the best. She is reliable, energetic, caring, and experienced. She cared for our baby boy from 5 months on teaching him basic sign language, German, colors, shapes, and kindness.

Annette is AWESOME. She has cared for our twins beginning when they were just over a year old. She is punctual, available, communicative, and gifted with children and babies. 
She was the first (and only) non-family member to watch our children and I wouldn't have it any other way. We felt completely at ease with her and our kids LOVE her. Thanks again, Annette! We adore you.

Annette is a rare find! She is extremely professional in her actions and appearance and her kind heart and warmth for children is exemplary. Annette was our nanny since Fall 2019 for my toddler son. She taught him so many positive emotional, communication, and physical lessons from signing please and more and thank you before he was verbal to teaching him how to confidently make his way downstairs unassisted. It was a strong bond and I know he misses her dearly. We made a tough decision to take leave from having childcare but can't wait to have her over again. In addition to Annette's impeccable nannying, she was such a pleasure to have in our home. I am a stay-at-home mom that hired Annette to give me the opportunity to run errands. I had PPA after my son was born, so leaving him with anyone was a struggle. However, I felt completely confident leaving my son with Annette and having such a competent caretaker helped me overcome my PPA. We can't recommend her enough!

I cannot recommend Annette highly enough. From day one she has been extremely professional, reliable, warm and engaging with my two children (4 and 1). Their faces light up every time she arrives at our house.  Not to mention, she has boundless amounts of energy, which has been great for my very active children. She uses tools from her teaching background to engage my 4 year old in various activities and always brings her own age appropriate toys for the kids to play with. And she is fluent in German which has been great for exposing my kids to a second language!

Annette is the absolute best! She's taken care of our kids (date nights, random days) off and on for months now. She is always punctual, comes ready with special toys, and a fantastic attitude. She follows requests wonderfully and is always engaged with the kids the entire time. I tend to be paranoid about safety, and Annette is super safe! I really can't recommend her enough.

She is the first babysitter I've hired. I was nervous in the beginning. But she is so good with kids and reliable. I would recommend her to all my friends!

We absolutely love Annette! She came in to help us when we had a gap in childcare coverage and was amazing to our two year old son. Every morning she came to our home with toys, games and books to entertain our little one. We call her "German Mary Poppins" as she truly is full of excitement and surprises for our son. She had always planned toys and activities they would do throughout the day. Annette was always on time and never hesitated to stay a few minutes later when needed. She even helped clean up after our son and left our home clean with laundry folded and dishes done! We will hire Annette again.

My kids love Annette!  Her exuberance for life is infectious and she plays full throttle with my boys!  They enjoy learning with her because she has engaging activities and she's an expert in pedagogy.

Annette worked in a life skills classroom with me for 2 years.  She was dedicated to the students' education and safety.  She worked with students from the ages of 5-9 and with varying levels of special education needs.  She was always enthusiastic and proactive.  She had a wonderful demeanor and added so much to the classroom.  She is punctual, dependable, and always seeking ways to help and be of service.  She is an amazing caregiver and would be an asset to any family.

Annette is extremely conscientious.  She is thorough and consistent.  She is also proper and follows the rules and is pleasant and kind to the children and adults.  I worked with her off and on for 5 years and I admire and respect her.

Annette is LOVABLE, DEPENDABLE, LOYAL, HONEST, and POSITIVE.  You can count on her to listen to your needs with care and execute her responsibilities with the utmost professionalism.  I can tell that the children she cares for love her and feels safe and happy.  I STRONGLY recommend Annette.  She will feel like family from the moment you meet her!

Annette is one of the most energetic, enthusiastic people I know. Children feel and respond to her good nature, her intelligence, and her easy and steady authority.  She is excellent and working with multiple ages and tailoring her approach to individual needs. I highly recommend Annette for child care and Lesson needs (especially German!)
