Stephanie $23 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Stephanie . I have been a long term nanny for the past 15 years! I recently moved to Maryland from California and have had the opportunity to work with a wonderful family here. They are moving out of state so I am looking for a new family to join. I have worked with all different age groups from newborns to eight years old. I have worked with multiple children at the same time. And enjoy everything the job has to offer :) Every day I try to find a way the child can use their imagination and develop a new skill either by playing with toys, dress up play, reading, going outside and so much more. I love to be outside with the kids, helping them to embrace all of their surroundings. I am well diverse in keeping a schedule for each child knowing that as it is important for their growth and development. I am naturally a very punctual person as well as patient and love assisting the family and anticipating their needs. I am also able to help around the house, from helping with the dishes, folding a basket of clothes, or preparing the meals ect. I am looking to have my child come with me, she will be starting preschool in September but till then this gives a unique opportunity to have a social environment within the confinement and comfort of your home. All the kids can grow socially, and emotionally with each other. I have outstanding relationships with all my past families, and wonderful referrals. I am looking for a full-time position and a family that I could hopefully grow with and be a part of. Thank you so much, Stephanie Non smoker Love pets Clean driving record Clean background Car can fit 3 car seats

"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."

"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)."
