Heyy, My name is Stephanie and I have experience working with young children in preschool settings, including Montessori and play-based classrooms. Im offering part time, occasional, and weekend child care services. I have over six years of experience caring for children, with the past two years focused specifically on working with young infants in both home and daycare settings. My responsibilities have included bottle feeding, tummy time, age-appropriate crafts, and following both daytime and nighttime routines. I have 18 early childhood education units, including infant and toddler development, and I’ve completed newborn care courses. I’m also comfortable with pets. Thank you, and I look forward to connecting with your family!
