About Stephanie

Experience: 20 yrs

Fostering a child's growth and development is my lifelong passion, but I am also an animal lover and interested in booking work caring for pets. With 20 years of experience (including 15 years as a teacher), I bring a calm, patient, and creative approach to caring for up to four children, ranging from preschool age to young adulthood. As a certified teacher with Early Child Development coursework, I integrate educational games into our daily routine. I am also comfortable with First Aid Training and CPR Training to ensure a safe environment. I am also happy to assist with meal preparation and light housekeeping while maintaining your household rules. I prioritize your preferred communication method to keep you updated on your child's day. Whether we are practicing swimming skills or finishing a complex board game, I am dedicated to making a positive impact on your family's life. I look forward to becoming a trusted partner for you and your family and pets.

Stephanie was my daughter's teacher in 4th and 5th grade and is absolutely phenomenal both as an educator and caregiver. She has a wonderful way with kids, making them feel seen and very comfortable in her presence. My daughter loved going to school every day to see her and was always coming home with stories and anecdotes about the day--largely because Stephanie created a warm, welcoming environment. She is also very youthful and "fun," which kids appreciate, even while being an incredibly effective teacher. My daughter's reading and writing skills, in particular, flourished under Stephanie's guidance. I would absolutely recommend her for childcare and/or teaching/tutoring. She is the best!
