We feel so lucky to have had Aneta as our live-in nanny for the past four years. She cared for our three very energetic boys—Dane (11, special needs with complex medical challenges), Carter (10), and Ryan (5)—with endless love, patience, and skill.
Aneta didn’t just watch our children; she truly became part of our family. Her background in pediatric physical therapy was a gift for Dane—she understood his needs on a level few people do and helped him progress in ways we’ll always be grateful for. At the same time, she kept up with our wild younger two, playing outside for hours, organizing crafts and adventures, and showering them with affection.
Aneta is warm, responsible, proactive, and 100% trustworthy. Our home felt calmer and happier because she was in it.
We recommend her without the slightest hesitation and know she will bring the same magic to her own nanny care business.
With huge thanks and all our best wishes,
Ted & AJ Conrads
Annie is a dream! She is so passionate about children and delights in their happiness. She has watched both my toddler and my infant and I feel 1000% comfortable entrusting her with my children (which I do not easily!) Annie meets my kids at their level and engages with them wholeheartedly. My toddler frequently asks about her as she clearly left a positive mark, and my infant is all smiles around her :) I also love that she has the lens of a pediatric physical therapist and is always thinking about what would be helpful for their gross motor development as well as their overall well-being. On top of her being incredible with children, Annie is one of the sweetest, most genuine and caring individuals I have ever met!

Annie is all smiles. We loved having her watching our two girls. She did fun activities with them and they really enjoyed their time with her. We wish she still lived up close to us and we could see her often and have her watch our girls again. Napa is lucky to have her. We’ll miss you, Annie

What a pleasure was to have Annie in our lives!
We meet her through some comune friends around 3 years ago and she was always willing to help and watch our kids: Marina ( 8 now) and Nicholas (11 now).
I always said that she had superpowers - able to watch 5 kids at the time, having sleepovers with them, entertaining them, feed them etc.
My daughter is missing her dearly and my son still talk about the good times he had with Annie.
She is kind, trustworthy, good worker and with a big heart.
Definitely one of the best!

Annie was absolutely wonderful with my infant son. He was immediately calm with her and took to her right away, which is rare for him with new people. My son has torcicollis, and Annie’s PT background truly shined; she jumped right in and supported him so thoughtfully and confidently. He did incredibly well with her. Annie is also an excellent communicator, consistently checking in and making me feel completely at easy. I can't recommend her highly enough.

We hired Annie for our two daughters, Maisie (4) and Lila (2), during my brother's wedding weekend in Napa, and she was an absolute dream. With young children in an unfamiliar hotel, we weren't sure how the girls would adjust to a new person and a new place. Annie put any worries to rest instantly. From the moment she arrived with her wagon of toys, both girls were completely enchanted, and my husband and I were able to be fully present at the wedding knowing they were in the best possible hands.
What stood out most was the genuine warmth and thoughtfulness Annie brought to every interaction. She didn't just keep the girls entertained, she connected with them. Maisie still has the sweet note Annie left for the girls tucked away in her room, which says everything about the kind of caregiver she is.
Annie is kind, creative, trustworthy, and clearly passionate about the children she cares for. We couldn't recommend her more highly.

We truly cannot say enough great things about Annie!
We came to Napa for a long weekend for a family wedding and Annie stayed with our son for two nights while we attended the wedding events. She was on time, brought a bunch of toys (since we couldn’t travel with much) was ready to jump in, and was so incredibly kind and sweet with our son & we instantly knew he was in great hands. She did an amazing job of keeping us updated through the night, while still allowing us to feel comfortable enough to disconnect and enjoy our time with family.
The only negative is that we don’t live in Napa; we would have Annie with us all the time!!
Couldn’t recommend her more

We are so grateful that Annie was recommended to us for a family wedding weekend in Napa. We have three cousins (14 months, 10 months, and 7 months) that we were looking for childcare for, which is a handful. Annie was wonderful and was more than happy to take on the chaos. She brought a wagon of toys for the kids and played her ukulele for them. The kids felt so comfortable with her right from the start, and she balanced multiple baby schedules with grace. She made our busy trip with three littles ones low stress. We are so grateful we were introduced to her. We only wish we lived closer so we could use her more often. Anytime we are back in Napa, we plan on using Annie!

Hiring our nanny to care for our 1-year-old daughter during our wedding in Napa was hands down one of the best decisions we made. From the moment she arrived, she was professional, warm, and incredibly prepared. She showed up on time with a wonderful assortment of toys and activities, which immediately helped our daughter feel comfortable and entertained. Thanks to her support, our little girl was able to walk down the aisle and be part of one of the most meaningful moments of our ceremony. Once her special role was complete, our nanny seamlessly took over her care so we could remain fully present and enjoy the rest of our wedding day.
She cared for our daughter throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner with so much patience, attentiveness, and genuine kindness. Knowing our daughter was happy, safe, and having fun allowed both of us and our parents to completely relax and celebrate the day. Of all the vendors we chose for our wedding, hiring her was truly the best investment we made. The peace of mind she provided was priceless, and we are incredibly grateful for the love and care she showed our daughter. We would recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for exceptional childcare during a special event.

We chose Annie to take care of our almost 3 month old during a wedding in Sonoma and we could not have made a better choice!
This is our first child and at this stage we had not left him with anyone besides family members for a couple of hours before so naturally we were a bit nervous about the whole thing. Communication with Annie before the event was very clear and professional and acted to ease our minds a little bit. But, after meeting Annie in person at the event we immediately knew that we had made the right choice and could spend a carefree evening at the wedding.
Annie has a kind, calm and confident demeanor and we felt an instant trust to leave our baby with her. There was an accommodation on the grounds of the wedding venue where they could spend time, both quiet and playtime. The proximity to the event made it very easy for us to visit when we wanted to and for Annie and baby to come out for visits when the timing was right. Annie was attentive and engaging and we could tell our baby was having a really nice time and was well taken care of. During the evening we got photo updates, she dressed him for the official moments and brought him out whenever we wanted or needed him for family moments.
When she was at the festivities with the baby, Annie stayed in the background to allow us some time with him yet was very alert and protective and ready to step in when too many people were flocking around the baby or when there were signs of overstimulation.
All in all we would HIGHLY recommend Annie's services. Having the opportunity to focus our attention on a special family event while knowing that our child was happy and safe was invaluable to us. If we are ever in the area for an event in the future we will not hesitate to reach out to Annie again.
