Hello Moms & Dads :)- Please take a moment to read all 🌹 My availability is 7am-5/6pm M-Th. Friday mornings and an occasional evening for date nights, as nights and weekends is dedicated to my child/family. A little about me. My name is Stephanie, born & raised in NYC. I was studying law in college when I ended up having my child and realized my passion laid with children and decided to pursue a degree in childhood education instead. Throughout the last 20 years as a teacher and managing services for children with developmental disabilities in the department of health and department of education I have worked as a nanny.on the side for supplemental income. I have extensive experience with premature infants up to middle school children and with children on the spectrum, with ADHD or speech delays. I am well versed in the milestones a child should achieve and as a caregiver I implement age appropriate goals to make sure that I work with each child on all their domains of development including their cognitive, sociall, language, academic (if applicable) and physical; although safety is always my #1 priority. Working with children requires patience, empathy, being passionate about it and understanding that every child is different in their own way. I believe that good communication between parents and all caregivers is essential so that everyone is on the same page. As a mom myself I understand how difficult it can be specially for first time parents to separate from their child and feel like they are "missing out" or having a sense of guilt kick in and I'm here to make the process easier and provide ease. For parents with multiple children struggling to find alone or couple time, I am there to insure your mind is at ease with regards to your children’s care while you get some much needed girl/self/couples time. I am CPR certified and update it every 2 years. I am a non smoker. I don't do corporal punishment hence I am not a good fit with parents that do.. love pets 🐶🐱 Best of luck to everyone in their search 🌸🌸Note: I homeschool my teen who will more often than not come with me and be doing his school work on the computer for the most part. This hasn’t been an issue in the past as can be seen by my reviews but completely understand the parents who are not comfortable despite the transparency. 🌸🌸 I only work part time positions (mainly weekdays) as stated above as I work independently with the DOH and DOE.

I enjoy being a sitter because children's joy is so infectious. A constant dose of dopamine! It’s the best daily reward anyone could ask for. I’m a warm, patient, and reliable caregiver with 10+ years of experience supporting families across NYC and NJ. My background includes caring for newborns, toddlers, and school-aged kids, as well as twins and multiples. I’m certified in BLS CPR, and Heartsaver CPR/First Aid. I’m especially skilled in infant care, potty training, preparing nutritious meals, light housekeeping, and creating fun, enriching activities that meet your child’s emotional and developmental needs. I integrate the Montessori method, which encourages independence, curiosity, and respectful caregiving, with every family I work with. Outside of childcare, I'm currently learning several languages that intersect with a few of my other hobbies. I'm currently studying Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, and Swahili (basic to intermediate). It's a reflection of my genuine curiosity and cultural appreciation for countries I plan to visit. Whether you need support for a few hours or long-term care, I’m happy to be a trusted helping hand in your child’s world. Looking forward to working with you!
