Mutsumi M., Nanny in Totowa, NJ 07512 with 25 years of paid experience

Hello, families. I am a retired kindergarten and elementary school teacher. Spending time with children is not only my favorite activity, but also my passion. I’m a humorous mother who values independence, both for myself and my children. I would love to share my experience as both a teacher and a mother with parents who are currently in need of parenting support.

Mutsumi is the best nanny anyone could ask for. She was with us for nearly 3 years and has become part of our family. Her creative teaching methods helped our son flourish. Everything from learning the alphabet, to counting, to reading, to music, to Japanese, she pushed the limits of what we thought was possible for a toddler. Mutsumi helped shape our son as he’s now ready for school. We cannot recommend Mutsumi highly enough!!

Stephanie C., Nanny in Totowa, NJ 07512 with 20 years of 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.

Stephanie is an absolute gem! I had her watch my infant while I worked in office, and she was a lifesaver. She is intuitive and proactive. My baby is usually tough with new people, but she was calm and happy with her instantly. She turned a potentially stressful day into a peaceful one and even shared some great tips on infant care. If you are looking for someone professional who truly understands babies, I cannot recommend Stephanie enough.

Miss Stephanie has been wonderful with our kids! Our oldest has been with her since age 2, and our youngest since around 6 months. They are almost 5 and 3 now. The love and care Miss Steff has shown have far exceeded our expectations, and both children have flourished because of it. Miss Steff provides a thoughtful, personal, well-rounded experience for our kids. She carefully selects educational activities for them which have helped to develop their language and math skills, and has also helped strengthen their activities of daily living. Miss Steff is flexible and understanding to the max. She never appears flustered or frustrated, instead approaching each situation with a steady sense of calm and reassurance that helps the kids maintain the same. We couldn’t be more pleased with our kids’ experience in her care!

Helen has been a wonderful babysitter. I have confidence that my 19 month old daughter is in good hands when she is babysitting. Helen is a genuinely kind-hearted person, attentive to my daughters needs first and organized. She keeps my daughters schedule very well and gives her various activities to do such as finger-painting, and reading. She’s also great at keeping the play place organized. She’s a hard worker and is punctual.

🌿 About Me I am originally from the beautiful island of St. Lucia and love returning whenever I can. Being outdoors is one of my greatest joys—I enjoy gardening, planting, and making the most of fresh air. 👩‍👧 Family & Background I’m a proud parent of two children who graduated from Rutgers University (New Brunswick). My passion for creativity inspired me to pursue studies in Child Development at Penn Foster, though I had to defer my certification for personal reasons. 🎨 Childcare Approach As a childcare provider, I enjoy sharing my love of nature, creativity, and art with children. I believe in creating a fun, enriching environment where kids can learn, explore, and grow. 🍼 Experience Since 2021, I have worked as a nanny for three families, caring for children ranging in age from 5 months to 5 years old. Most recently, in 2025, I cared for a 5‑month‑old, providing attentive supervision, preparing light snacks, and assisting with light housekeeping. These experiences have strengthened my ability to adapt to different family needs while ensuring children feel safe, loved, and engaged. I look forward to meeting your family and providing reliable, caring support for your little ones!
