Hello! Thanks for checking out my profile. My name is Stephen--I am the father of a 2.5-year-old daughter and I also work as a teacher assistant in a Spartanburg District 7 school. I have been looking after children since I was a teenager--everyone from the neighborhood kids to my nieces and nephews, earning the nickname "Toddler Whisperer" among my family and friends. A college graduate with a degree in English and a longtime musician, I love to sing and read/tell stories and have a knack for entertaining kids with creative games and arts and crafts. I am looking to find some supplemental income for my family and thought my love of childcare/education would be a great way to support my family while helping local families. Please contact me if you have any questions, or to learn more about my availability and experience!
