A 24-year-old nanny killed in last Sunday's Learjet crash in Florida made an emotional final video call to her sister shortly before the aircraft was due to fly to The Bahamas, according to reports.

Ana Maria Ramirez Cetina, affectionately known as Anita, was among nine people killed when the Learjet 60 crashed in Palm Beach County on November 1.

Her sister, Angie Ramirez Cetina, told The US Sun that they spoke by video on the morning of the tragedy, when Anita excitedly showed her the children she cared for and the private aircraft.

“She was very happy. She was truly happy because she had never been to The Bahamas,” Angie said.

The Colombian-born biomedical engineer had moved to the United States two years earlier and was working as a nanny for the Robinson family, caring for their children Emma, four, and Charlie, two.

She was travelling with the family to celebrate the birthday of their father, technology entrepreneur Adam Robinson, 45.

Angie said her sister adored the children and had spoken lovingly about the family, adding that the two sisters had been inseparable.

She recalled that Anita had supported her throughout her pregnancy and was present when she gave birth to her son in July.

The investigation into the tragedy is ongoing.
