I have experience and knowledge of child cognitive, social skills development methods and techniques. I have extensive experience in reading, play and quiet time activities.

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.

Caring for my younger siblings and students in my community influenced my decision to become a caregiver. Participating in activities such as summer enrichment classes and daycare learning centers fueled my passion even more, and those experiences taught me that I am passionate about helping people and improving the daily lives of those in need of care. Supporting my students taught me patience, compassion, and problem-solving skills. I learned how to deal with problems quickly and effectively in order to keep them healthy and safe.
