Hi! My name is Tonique, and I'm a college student with over 4 and a half years of childcare experience working with children from infants to grade-school age. I'm comfortable with feeding, playtime, bedtime routines, school pickups, homework help, and keeping kids engaged throughout the day. I'm responsible, dependable, patient, and caring, and I always try to create a safe and fun environment where children feel comfortable. I also love keeping kids active beyond screens through arts and crafts, reading, outdoor activities, games, and other age-appropriate activities. As a college student, I'm also happy to help with homework, reading, school projects, and after-school routines. I value open communication with parents and always respect the routines and boundaries they have established at home. I'm available Monday through Friday, with some flexibility for evenings and weekends, and would love to connect with families looking for regular or occasional childcare!
I cannot recommend Tonique highly enough. She was our summer nanny for our 3-year-old, and she exceeded every expectation we had. From the very beginning, she formed a genuine bond with our toddler through her warmth, patience, and playful personality. Our child looked forward to seeing her every day, which gave us so much peace of mind as working parents. Tonique is incredibly dependable, attentive, and proactive. She always arrived on time, came prepared with fun and engaging activities, and made every day both exciting and educational. Whether they were reading books, doing arts and crafts, playing outdoors, singing songs, or exploring new games, she found creative ways to keep our child entertained while encouraging learning and development. What stood out most was the level of care and love she showed our child. She treated our toddler as if they were her own, always ensuring they were safe, happy, well-fed, and emotionally supported. She handled tantrums and big toddler emotions with remarkable patience and calmness, helping our child build confidence and express themselves in healthy ways. Tonique also communicated exceptionally well with us. She kept us updated throughout the day, shared milestones and funny moments, and was always receptive to our family’s routines and parenting preferences. Her professionalism, reliability, and positive attitude made her an absolute joy to work with. By the end of the summer, our child had become more independent, social, and confident, and we truly believe Tonique played a significant role in that growth. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her as their nanny. She is trustworthy, compassionate, responsible, and genuinely passionate about caring for children. We wholeheartedly recommend Tonique and would hire her again without hesitation.
