Starting in September, I will be available Mondays and Wednesday all day. 

My name is Stefanie, I am 59 and live in Sonoma with my husband and two adult children. I have been nannying in Sonoma for over 12 years and have experience with new borns, twins, primary and elementary age children. Before I was a nanny I was a teaching assistant for a Montessori preschool in Sonoma. I am CPR certified, Covid vaccinated and I do not smoke. If you feel like we could be a good fit, please reach out. I am happy to answer any questions and have many references available. Thanks and have a great day!

Stefanie was our son's nanny from when he was 18 months old to 2.5 years old. We absolutely LOVED having Stef look after our son. She was always on the floor playing with him and making sure he was well cared for. She shows up on time every single day ready to work - she takes her job seriously and it shows. We still call her for occasional babysitting. I highly recommend her! 5+ stars easy!!

We feel incredibly lucky to have had Stefanie as our nanny. She is thoughtful, caring, and truly became an extension of our family. Leaving a newborn to return to work can be very stressful, but Stefanie made that transition so much easier for me. I always felt confident that my baby was in loving, capable hands.
Her communication was excellent and always made me feel secure and in the loop about everything happening throughout the day. That peace of mind meant so much while I was at work.
Even though our kids are older and now in school, we still keep in touch with Stefanie. She will always be a special part of our family, and I can’t recommend her highly enough to any family looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and reliable.


Stephanie and her family welcomed our little baby as if she was their own! 

Stefani was an amazing care giver to my 4 children (ages 3, 2 and twin 8m olds). She was super accommodating and a JOY to work with — she committed hours to me months and advance and was super communicative leading up to our trips. With my kids she was warm, loving, and FUN! I loved watching her with my twins because she played with them and just thought they were hilarious. It’s just so obvious she loves kids. Stef stuck to my schedule perfectly. She cleaned up and kept things organized. She’s kind and easy to talk to. Just an overall joy and good person! 

Stefanie watched our two kids (5 months and 3 years) while we were in the area for vacation. She is absolutely wonderful! Easy to communicate with, and jumped right in to help/asked a the right questions before we left. She is caring and experienced, and our 3 year old had a blast playing with her! It was such a great having adult time knowing the kids were in great hands.

We are fortunate enough to have found Stefanie here a few weeks ago and are grateful to now be working with her! We had been looking for someone local to watch our 10 month old son for date nights. We were nervous about the process and leaving our son with someone we didn't know which Stefanie understood completely- to kick things off we had a phone interview and after speaking with her we were Immediately put at ease. She has watched our son two times so far, and was great with communication around scheduling as well as during her time with him being very responsive and sending pictures. We tried to have her put him down for the night - it was our first time and his first time being put down by anyone but us, unfortunately he wasn't ready for that but Stefanie really did a great job trying and was so patient throughout the process. We will try again in the future! We are so happy to have found a reliable, trustworthy, easy going person to care for our son!

Stefanie is all-around amazing! She has worked with my family for the past 2 years (2020-2022). She is so great with my kids and has a good nanny-style mix of both playing with the kids and supervising them while they play independently. I trust her completely with my kids and they absolutely love her. She currently works 28 hours and will be tapering down as school starts. She is flexible to my changing schedule and often will accommodate an early morning start or a late evening out. She is a great date-night sitter too! Her communication style is very clear, she follows through on directions, and she had been a pleasure to work with. A big bonus skill is her seeing which household chores need the most attention. For example, she will help clean in the kitchen after the kids are off to school or fold a load of the kids' clothes. She is just so helpful! I can't imagine how I would have gotten through the pandemic if it weren't for her. To her future family: you are lucky!

My kids love Stephanie! They always ask when they will be seeing her again. She has so much experience with kids of all ages and is so interested in the children and what they are interested in.  They are always engaged and happy in her care.  She is also a totally responsible adult so you always feel super safe and confident about leaving the kids with her.

I don't have enough words to describe how amazing Stefanie is! She was with us once my son turned 6 months and stayed until he went to preschool at 3. My son adored her and still asks about her often. She was always on time and came with a positive attitude no matter what. She would be an amazing addition to any family, I was so sorry to have to let her go when my son started school. We love her and you will too!

We were referred to Stefanie by our neighbors who have two school age children that also went to school with Stefanie's children. We are so lucky that we found her! She was more than we could have ever imagined and an absolute sweetheart. She cared for my son for six months from the time he was about 9 months until  almost 15 months. I truly wish that we could afford to have her watch him full time. He absolutely adores her(as do we!) and she made every effort to make him comfortable and feel safe. She took him for walks almost every day and enjoyed many days at the park. I would 100% recommend Stefanie to anyone looking for a part time or full time nanny. Or even for anyone just looking for a night out. She is amazing.

We reached out to Stephanie fairly last minute while we were visiting Sonoma with our 7 month old daughter. Stephanie went out of her way to make things work given our time preferences and other obligations on her end. She was incredibly kind and personable and very loving toward our daughter. We enjoyed her in many ways and would absolutely recommend her!

Stefanie was so wonderful. We took a trip to Sonoma and brought our little guy with us.  We had never left him with anyone before so we were a little nervous.  She watched him two nights and most of the day one day.  We felt like she was part of the family right away. She made us feel so comfortable and she was incredible with our 10 month old. I wish she lived closer so we could use her all the time! We highly recommend her! Look no farther. 

Stephanie was awesome! We hired her when we were on vacation. She entertained and took care of my 4 and 6 year old admirably. She checked in with me when we met on any rules around food etc so she could keep things as close to how we would do it as possible. Her good judgement and common sense and care were evident. My kiddos still talk about how much fun they had with her now, months later.

It was our first nanny experience for our son.  Stefanie had put us at ease; she was so friendly and likable, our toddler took a liking to her immediately.  Will definitely work with Stephanie the next time we're in the area.  

I was very anxious to leave my 12 week old baby with a sitter for the first time while at a wedding in Sonoma, but Stefanie instantly put me at ease.  She was warm and energetic and handled my baby with care and love.  Would highly recommend using her!

I have known Stefanie for 8 years. She was a teacher assistant in the primary program at Crescent Montessori where our three children studied. She has a gift with children and her radiates with genuine kindness a caring heart. She is dependable, proactive and reliable. She is also very professional and will always deliver. You will always rest assured that your children will be cared for with utmost kindness,  respect and empathy.

Stefanie worked in my classroom as an assistant.  She was a self-starter, and was great at reading the needs of both me and the students without me having to prompt her.  Her demeanor is cheerful, optimistic and kind. 

Stefanie has a lovely and calm sense about her and sets a warm and safe feeling environment.

Stefanie worked as our nanny for two years, caring for my twins from ages 2 to 4, as well as caring for my two older children when they weren't in school or on date nights. I trust her completely with my children.

She is caring, patient and calm in our otherwise very hectic home. She keeps our twins busy with park visits, playing outside whenever possible, and reading, doing puzzles, art and indoor activities at other times. Stefanie is an expert at disarming sibling disputes and helping toddlers avoid tantrums. My kids love their time with Stefanie, and run to the door each day she arrives. We were very lucky to have her as our nanny for two full years, and if we weren't moving away for an extended period, we would keep her on indefinitely!
