About Stella

Experience: 8 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I began assisting my family with childcare (babysitting my young cousins) at the age of 12. Though, over time, my experience has extended beyond the family and into the professional realm, working with children has remained a constant in my life. I have worked with kids of all ages and in multi-child households. I have also worked with autistic and neurodivergent children and have traveled with families to provide additional support on vacation. In short, my experience has provided me the opportunity to develop meaningful relationships and watch the children I've worked with grow into some of the most kind and interesting people I know. Above all else, my goal is to make the children I care for feel safe and accepted by me. In addition to working with children, I love nature and art, both of which I make a concerted effort to imbue in my work. I have a particular interest in finding new ways to help kids express themselves creatively.

Stella was our summer nanny, and my kids could not have loved her more. Aside from the normal fun things like taking the kids on bike rides and to the swimming pool, she did special, memorable things like making an outfit “look book” for my daughter starting middle school. She made her a curated playlist of all of her early Taylor Swift favorite which, my daughter then listened to on repeat all summer. Special things like that! Even my kids’ friends still ask about Stella. We even took her on a work trip of mine, where she hung out with the kids until I was done with my conference sessions. She’s loving, fun, and reliable. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
