Stephanie C.
- 20 years paid experience

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.

Why I Love Being a Sitter I’ve always loved caring for children—it comes naturally to me. As a mom of two and a former teacher, I know how important it is to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel seen and supported. I genuinely enjoy helping children grow, learn, and explore their unique personalities. Whether we’re reading stories, doing crafts, or just sharing a laugh, I find so much joy in building those special bonds. ⸻ My Experience My childcare journey started early—babysitting as a teen, then working summers as a camp counselor and certified lifeguard. I went on to earn a Master’s in Elementary Education and spent years teaching kindergarten, 2nd grade, and 6th grade. I also led the tennis program at Deer Mountain Day Camp, working with kids of all ages and skill levels. I’ve supported children in all stages of development and feel confident handling routines, schoolwork, playtime, and everything in between. ⸻ My Skills & Training • Master’s Degree in Elementary Education • Certified Lifeguard (past) • CPR & First Aid knowledge • Strong classroom management and communication skills • Experience with children from infants to pre-teens I’m patient, attentive, and calm under pressure—qualities that help children feel secure and help parents feel at ease. I’m currently looking for a part-time position that could grow into something more consistent or full-time down the line. I bring warmth, structure, and years of hands-on experience, and I’d love to find a family I can build a lasting relationship with.

Jessica G.

I’m Jessica! I’m 28 years old and I live in the Upper East Side. I’m spending some time taking a step back from the 70-hour corporate grind (after six years in client relationship management in financial services) to enjoy the city, reset, and reflect on a potential bigger career pivot. In the meantime, I’m looking for meaningful part-time work that brings a little structure to my mornings while leaving afternoons open to focus on long-term goals. While I’ve only had occasional paid babysitting gigs growing up in Atlanta, I’ve spent much of my life around children. My mom was a nanny, so I grew up tagging along and seeing firsthand what patient, attentive childcare looks like. I’m also nearly 13 years older than my little brother, so I was a built-in babysitter throughout my teens. In high school, I volunteered at a nonprofit helping children with reading, writing, and math, and I spent two college summers working as a summer instructor at a kids’ learning center. I’m playful and nurturing by nature. I love taking kids to the park, diving into story time, and getting silly with pretend play. I’m also fluent in Spanish, which can be a great bonus for bilingual families or anyone looking to introduce their child to a second language. I’m certified in First Aid, CPR, and AED for both adults and pediatrics — and always aim to be a calm, responsible, and reassuring presence in any situation. I’m available weekday mornings and open to occasional evenings or weekends with advance notice. In my free time, you’ll find me walking my dog with my boyfriend, showing friends around the city (I’ve lived in NYC for 6 years!), grabbing coffee, taking a cooking class, or catching a Broadway show.
