Meet the International Au Pair Association's 2023 Au Pair of Year award winner: Antonella
Antonella, known as “Anto,” joined the Serfaty family in Indiana in March 2021, and from the very start, she has made a positive impact on everyone she’s met.
In their nomination essay, the Serfaty family described how Anto supported them during one of the most challenging times of their lives when Jessica, the host mom, gave birth to their baby boy, Asher, 3 months prematurely. Throughout Jessica and Asher’s 103 days in the hospital, Anto stepped up in ways that went beyond traditional childcare. She learned how to care for Asher and built an unbreakable bond with the family’s 3-year-old son.
