I am Steph Woman - an artist/photographer, recovering Brooklynite, ecstatic Beaconite, nature lover, and doting dogmom. My wonderful rescue dog sidekick Beau is part of the package deal - if your child loves dogs, they are in for a treat. Most recently working as an administrator for a local progressive educational organization, I am looking to get back into childcare! I am a funny, warm, conscientious, dependable, and positive person. I don't smoke and have my own reliable transportation. I love children and see immense potential in them. As a working artist and photographer, it is especially fulfilling for me to share a creative, inquisitive perspective with kids, and provide opportunities for expression. I am warm, positive, and fun, but firm and consistent, and hold kids to a high standard of behavior. I believe in introducing children to diversity, the arts, and nature, reinforcing values of inclusion, kindness, and respect, Read more and giving them tools to be happy, healthy, and contributing members of the community. Professionally, I started out in childcare, and my path led me to administrative and managerial roles in creative and educational environments. I have worked with schools and universities, and children of all ages. As a photo studio manager in NYC, I developed professional relationships with NYC schools and assisted on school portrait shoots, working directly with children from preschool age to 12th grade. When I first moved to NYC, I became the beloved nanny and household manager for an Upper West Side family with one 10-year-old child who had physical limitations as well as emotional, social, and learning challenges. I provided comprehensive family support and assisted with errands, organization, bills, driving, pet care, house-sitting, laundry, cooking, homework, and live-in summer vacations. I was with them for two years. I provided temporary care to their neighbors' children, ages 4 and 7, as well. In high school, I tutored children in a computer-based learning center, and was a caretaker at a conference for parents of special needs children. I am big on old-school recreation such as outdoor time, misc. adventures, and screen-less diversions. I love the arts, culture, and language (English & Spanish!) and share that with little people in my care. I like for times to be fun, enriching, and educational. I offer drawing/painting, homework help, pet care, light housekeeping, transportation, overnights, & more!
