Hi! My name is Stephanie. I am a very loving, reliable and easy going nanny and have experience with all ages including newborns to young teens. I have my associates in Child Development and Early Childhood Education, am a certified Newborn Care Specialist as well as being CPR and First Aide certified. My experience with children includes working at a home based daycare for 4 years, homeschooling two young teens for a year, and have been a full time nanny/NCS for the last 2.5 years. I am a believer that children learn through play and taking advantage of “teachable moments.” I am passionate about building relationships with the families I work for and helping support a new and exciting season in their life!

Hi, my name is Kamea or Mea! I’m a fun, caring, and super reliable babysitter who genuinely loves working with kids and helping them learn, grow, and have a great time in a safe environment. I am in college for nursing and plan to grow my knowledge and pursue becoming a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner. 😁 I have experience working as a CNA/Patient care technician in multiple different healthcare settings, which has allowed me to develop empathy when caring for others, children or adults. My most recent experience was caring for a sweet little 3-month-old baby all the way until she was 9 months old, where I handled feedings, naps, diaper changes, and all the snuggles in between. I’ve also spent long stretches babysitting twin boys, which definitely kept me on my toes and helped me get really good at multitasking and keeping up with lots of energy! On top of that, I’ve cared for a 3-year-old girl during full-day hours (7am–4pm), where I planned meals, activities, and lots of fun playtime to keep her happy and engaged. I always aim to bring a warm, positive energy while making sure kids feel safe, supported, and excited for their day! If you would like to inquire more about my experience or you have any questions in general, please message me so we can speak one on one!!
