Response will be in 1 hour thanks I am a career nanny who is available for part time mornings Mon- Fri as the family I’ve been with for a year in the mornings has received a career opportunity in Europe. They will give me an excellent reference, of course. I seek guaranteed hours and I am available to start on the date that I am needed. I currently work with a family in the late afternoon as their long-term nanny to 2 children ages 4-7 Extensive experience as a nanny ( 13 years not all of my experience is listed on here, excellent references) Educator / Scholar ( currently attending) Parent (2 college kids) Currently holding all five star reviews from past and present clients through this platform. As a nanny I’m passionate about helping parents build up great kids. I’m currently taking online classes and will continue toward completion of my degree in Early Childhood Development and Psychology. I homeschooled both of my children until 1st grade ( both in college) Homeschooling is about planning, strategy and creativity. I consider myself a career nanny. In the last five years, I have regained experience in newborn , infants and toddlers ( this includes working with siblings and nanny share as well ) my calm, nurturing manner is reassuring to babies , children and parents alike. I feel that to be a a great nanny , you must have it in your heart . The character traits of patience, kindness, boundaries, empathy, compassion, calmness, acceptance, positive reinforcement, creativity, playfulness are all part of who I am. I am specialized in the areas of sleep training, routine establishment, developmental play and excellent soothing techniques. I also am very skilled in making baby food from scratch for high nutrition and health. I accept per diem work with toddlers / school age children and focus on teaching them breath work to calm themselves ( if an emotional outburst occurs) It is very common as they have many feelings and don’t always know what words to use to express it , this includes self regulation and choices including Baby Signing which encourages them to communicate well and become verbal communicators earlier. I have many other specialized skills to offer. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking reading, dancing ( with my husband) sports like tennis, swimming, pickle ball, fast walking, and yoga for fitness. I believe that the secret to a happy life comes from having a deeply grateful heart.

Dear families, My name is Stephanie, I have been working as a nanny for the past twelve years. I absolutely love children of all ages. My experience includes infants, toddlers, elementary school children, and teenagers. I am very good at creating different activities with the kids, making sure they are happy and enjoy their time :) To ensure quality care and planning, I kindly ask for a minimum booking of 4 hours. Policies Early Return: If parents arrive home early or let me go early, the full booking amount will still apply. This ensures that my time is respected and that I can plan my day around your booking. Cancellation: Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the booking will be charged the full amount. I kindly ask that payment be completed at the end of each shift. Thank you! Thank you for understanding!

“Stephanie was great! She was able to get both of our little ones to sleep quickly and soundly!”

Vaccinated & boosted! Experienced, professional, silly, loving! Most recent background check June 2026 Red Cross Infant/Child/IAdult CPR & First Aid Certification 6/2025 Parents have called me "baby whisperer" and "Maya Poppins"; a three-year-old called me "booty butt"! I can handle anything! It is my great pride to share my resourcefulness and experience; I ask for help and clarification gladly.  I've worked with children from ages 2w to 18y through the site and also seniors. From KG teacher and early childhood curriculum developer, teacher trainer and university lecturer, I've worked extensively in education. After most of a decade abroad and a wild pandemic, I just finished my doctorate in education (March 2023!). I love working with children and appreciate having a flexible schedule. With little ones, I'm silly and creative (and love to share my published children's book!). I understand tears and have the patience to soothe and work with the frustration, exhaustion, or confusion behind them. For parents, I'm super tidy, reliable, a great communicator, and have a CA driver's license! I have lived and worked all over the world and have a social justice mindset that informs my life and work. Also available for high-end tutoring, development evaluations (ages 2-6), middle/upper grade social services, and personal assistant services at other rates.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
