About Stephanie

With 30 years of experience as a devoted auntie and six years as an elementary school teacher, I bring both heart and expertise to every caregiving role. I've cared for children across all ages, from newborns to pre-teens. I understand how to meet kids where they are, whether they need nurturing, structure, creative play, or a gentle guide through big feelings. My background in education means I'm not only comfortable helping with homework and routines, but also skilled at fostering curiosity, emotional intelligence, and a sense of wonder. As someone who values equity, inclusivity, and kindness, I show up with patience, presence, and intention. I'm the kind of caregiver who sings lullabies, makes up stories, and knows that being silly is sometimes just as important as being safe. Whether I'm holding a baby, calming a toddler, or cheering on a school project, I bring warmth, reliability, and years of hands-on experience.
