Hi Families, My name is Stephanie and I have over six years of experience caring for children as a babysitter and nanny. With the past two years focused on working in preschool and daycare settings as a substitute teacher’s aide. The past two years have been mostly focused on learning more about infant development and how to support their growth. I’ve really enjoyed being able to support the little ones , as they start learning from a very young age. Some of my responsibilities have included bottle feeding, solid food feeding, tummy time, age-appropriate activities, and following safe sleep practices. I have 18 early childhood education units, including infant and toddler development, and I’ve completed newborn care courses. Comfortable with pets. I speak fluent Spanish & CPR certified. Thank you, and I look forward to connecting with your family!

“Stephanie was so calm and caring. My daughter loved her and can’t wait to have her back. ”

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
