I enjoy working with, caring for and being around children! I have 15 years of professional child care experience: Five years in a daycare setting working with infants to 5-year-olds. Four years as a full time nanny/housekeeper/household manager for two small children. Part time nanny for 3.5 years caring for a young girl. I've also done overnight babysitting for a family throughout the last 15 yrs. I currently nanny part time for 3-year-old twins and assist a first grader through remote learning part time as well. I find it rewarding to make a positive contribution in a family setting and be a part of the upbringing of a child. I enjoy aiding in child growth and development and helping children reach their milestones. I'm reliable, responsible, caring, warm, fun and patient. I'm seeking a reliable and consistent, full time position. Please reach out, ask questions, I'm available for phone interviews and would love to visit to meet in person. Let's talk!

Stephanie is very experienced (multiples included), prompt, organized, and had great followup. She calmed my colicky 6 week old immediately, while keeping him safe around my 6 month old dog. Her references are great, one even has her with their kids overnight for long weekends while they are away. She is extremely calm and collected and was a delight to have in our chaotic household.

Caring for children isn’t just something I do but it’s something I genuinely love. As an education major, I’ve spent years studying child development, but more importantly, I’ve spent real time with kids: substitute teaching during school, working at The Goddard School, and always being surrounded by little ones in both personal and professional spaces. I feel at home in their world. I also understand what parents need. Especially coming from parents who love a good date night. I’ve worked with many families who just need that trusted, dependable person to step in so they can enjoy a night out without a single worry. That’s a role I take seriously. Babysitting gives me a chance to show up for both kids and their parents and that’s exactly why I’m so excited about this opportunity.

Hi there! I’m Annie — a compassionate, experienced childcare provider with over 13 years of hands-on experience caring for children from newborns to pre-teens. I’ve always loved being a sitter because I see every child as their own little universe — full of curiosity, creativity, and potential. Getting to support that growth and help them feel safe, seen, and confident is what keeps me passionate about this work. My childcare journey has included everything from full-time nannying and multiple overnight stays to classroom work as a one-on-one special education assistant. I’ve supported children with behavioral disorders, ADHD, autism, and trauma backgrounds, and I’m skilled at creating calm, structured, and nurturing environments where kids can thrive. In addition to my years of experience, I bring patience, emotional intelligence, and strong communication skills. I’m CPR and First Aid trained, have reliable transportation, and pride myself on being dependable, creative, and engaged — whether we’re doing crafts, reading stories, or exploring outdoors. If you’re looking for someone who balances warmth with professionalism and truly loves helping children grow, I’d love to connect with your family.

I have over 20 years experience watching children of all ages. I was a foster parent several years ago. I do know first aid and safety, where I learned CPR for infants and children as well as anti-choking techniques. My major in college was Elementary Education, but I have since changed it to Child Psychology. I love kids of all ages. I enjoy a hands on approach and love to get down on a child's level.

For two years I was a nanny, and I believe in a very gentle approach that quietly stimulares the baby. I also babysat in church nurseries but I far prefer being able to give one on one time.
