About Stephanie

Experience: 5 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I'd describe my personality as empathetic, patient, and intuitive. I'm also highly adaptable and able to change course should the situations require it! I'm looking for a work environment that is supportive and caring and hope to make a positive impact on the families' lives. One thing to know about me is that while I'm very kind and easy-going, I also think that clear boundaries and respect are important and will be sure to impart that in any environment. I love to cook! It's one of my favorite things to do, so I'm more than happy to do that in your home and/or bake with the children. Aside from psychology, I also have a background in theater so I'm very performative and full of non-screen entertainment. I'm great with arts&crafts and sports too. I starting working with kids in high school and in college worked at the Early Childhood Learning Center in Bronxville, NY. I've worked with infants as well and have been called "the baby whisperer". I'd love to help you with your kids!

Steph is a godsend. She is a baby-whisperer. She came to stay with my family when my baby was 2-3 months old and her help was immeasurable. Steph would come to a couple of baby classes with me and all the other new moms asked if they could borrow Stephanie for the day. I always felt like she truly cared about my baby like she was a member of her own family. Steph did feel like part of the family for us and we really enjoyed having her. Very thankful for all of Stephanie's help during our newborn days. She is kind, empathetic, reliable, smart, and a great cook!
