About Stephanie Van

Stephanie has been an absolute blessing to our family. She cared for my son full-time for almost two years and quickly became more than a nanny — she became a trusted member of our family. She is exceptionally kind, deeply ethical, and someone you can trust completely with your little one. We were so sad that she had to move away. Professionally trained as an au pair, Stephanie has worked with many families in Europe and in the United States. Her experience truly shows — she’s not just a babysitter, but a skilled caregiver who understands child development and emotional connection. What makes Stephanie so special is her balance of expertise and respect. She brings a wealth of professional experience, yet never imposes her own ideas. Instead, she listened carefully, followed our family’s routines, and interacted with my son in the ways that reflected my parenting style. She also followed my son’s interests so thoughtfully — never telling him what to do, but gently encouraging him to express himself and explore what he loved. This matches exactly to my gentle parenting style. Because of her support, my son became very confident, creative, and articulate. Stephanie understood my parenting style so well and supported me so closely, which allowed me to work full-time and still raise my son the way I wanted to. The result is a seamless, secure environment where my son truly blossomed. He is affectionate, bright, and self-assured, and I know much of that came from the partnership Stephanie and I built together. Even now, he still talks about her all the time. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her — she’s trustworthy, kind-hearted, and one of the most genuine caregivers you could ever find.
