Hello! My name is Stephanie, and I have 9 years of experience caring for children of all ages. I’ve worked with multiple private families and successfully managed a nanny share, starting with babies at just 2–3 months old and staying with them until toddlerhood. I also run my own residential cleaning business, giving me flexibility to take on babysitting opportunities. I’m passionate about nurturing children, creating a safe and fun environment, and supporting their growth with patience and care. • CPR & First Aid Certified • Excellent references available upon request 😊
Hello. I have about 13 years of nanny experience and absolutely love working with children. I have extensive experience working with every age group ranging from newborns to teenagers and can provide wonderful references upon request.
I recently graduated San Jose State University in 2025 💙 I'm originally from Southern California! I have a variety of experience for ages 2 months to 12 years. I was a nanny for 2 girls for 3 years throughout college, and do many occasional jobs with multiple families. My style of childcare is hands on, such as doing arts and crafts, playing games, going to the playground. As well as helping out with homework, reading books and more. I enjoy getting to know the children personally and prefer no screen time. Throughout high school, I've gained experience working with children mainly through local church organizations. I'm a former overnight camp counselor for kids. I also grew up with two younger siblings which I took care of almost every day. I love working with kids of all ages, especially younger ones. I have a husky at home, so I am very comfortable with pets! I am fully vaccinated with a booster shot as well. I look forward to meeting you!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
