Hello! My name is Stephanie and I have over 15 years of childcare behind me. I babysat on my own for several years growing up, and for the past 10 years have been working for an agency in the city. I have experience in all ages, from birth to teenagers, and I have experience with multiples. I am just finishing up three years with my current family before they move away at the end of the year. I am a huge fan of gentle/authoritative parenting and believe a happy child comes from communication and treating your little one as human while still setting boundaries and guiding them in the right direction. My biggest goal is to keep your kid(s) happy, healthy, and having fun. I love outside play going for walks and at the cities beautiful parks, playing make-believe, and learning anything I can about whatever your kids are into (I know so much more about Star Wars than I ever anticipated!) I can't wait to get to know your family!

We hired Stephanie to watch our two little ones when I went back to work. It was crazy trying to manage two parents working from home during a pandemic and we couldn't have done it without Stephanie's help! When she started our kids were 2 years old and 4 months old. She helped with childcare responsibilities of course as well as planning crafts and activities for both of them. Once parks opened up again she would take them out for walks and to the playground. Stephanie helped us as we started potty training our oldest and introduced solids to our youngest. She was also patient with our newborn as he was not happy to be drinking from a bottle at first! Our kids had so much fun with her and our oldest talks about all of the fun the fun things she did with them. We would recommend Stephanie to any family looking for a fun-loving and caring nanny!
