Meet Stella

Hello, my name is Stella. I’m a caring and responsible babysitter who truly enjoys spending time with children. For over 12 years, I ran a private academy where I worked closely with students from kindergarten through high school, helping them improve their grades, stay motivated, and build good study habits. As a mother of two, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your children. My own kids are now grown and no longer need my help as much, but I still remember the joy of raising them and that’s what inspired me to become a babysitter. I love doing creative activities with kids, such as making crafts and finding fun, imaginative ways to learn through play. I also enjoy reading, especially children’s books, and believe that reading together or helping kids develop their own love of reading is one of the best Read more ways to support their growth. Whether it’s reading aloud to younger children or encouraging older ones to explore books that match their interests, I love helping them discover the fun and comfort that stories can bring. In addition, I’m passionate about healthy eating and enjoy preparing simple, nutritious meals and snacks. Having balanced full-time work while raising my own kids, I understand the importance of safety, empathy, and consistency in child care. I would love to bring that same care, creativity, and warmth to your family.
