A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Estefany but I go as Stef! I’m 20 years old, my birthday is in July, I’m class is 2023, and I love spending time with kids as much as I can. I grew up being the oldest sibling so I’d always be like the “second mom” around the house when my mom would be at work, I have 2 siblings , one is 15 and the other one is 12, both boys unfortunately LOL just kidding! Growing up being the oldest sibling was like having to be there for school meetings, prepping their meals, putting them to bed, etc so I grew up loving kids of all ages. My youngest brother is autistic so I always grew up having to help my mom out a little bit more with him, that made me realize patience is key, I have to be gentle, know how to word everything I can because sometimes words can be hurtful, etc. Kids always feel safe and comfortable with me, i love having fun and just acting like a kid with them when it comes to bonding with one another. I just look forward to being a nanny!

A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Asia, 29 years old, and I have extensive experience caring for children since I was a teen. As the oldest of five and the oldest grandchild, I’ve spent much of my life babysitting and looking after my younger siblings, who range in age from 5 to 21. Coming from a blended family, I’ve often stepped in to help after school or during date nights for my parents.

Originally from Florida, I moved to New Jersey two years ago. I’m a Pharmacy Technician at a veterinary hospital. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with friends, binge-watching TV shows, and reading.

A little bit about me

Hello! During the school year I run a homeschool enrichment program for kids ages 5-13, Root & Wild Schoolhouse. During the summer months while my kids are away at camp I’m looking to get back into nannying. I was a nanny for 5 kids ages 0-9 while I was going to college. I love getting creative, having fun outdoors and am very good with pets as well!

A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Coral Nuschke, a dedicated educator and coach with a passion for fostering a love of movement and fitness in students of all ages. I hold a degree in Elementary Education and am certified to teach Health and Physical Education for grades K-12. With over 10 years of experience in childcare, I have worked with children from infancy to adulthood, developing strong skills in mentorship, leadership, and student engagement.

Currently, I coach a high school varsity girls' soccer team, where I focus on building both athletic skills and personal growth in my players. I am also CPR and First Aid certified, ensuring the safety and well-being of my students and athletes.

Outside of teaching and coaching, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our pets—I’m an animal lover through and through! While I don’t have children of my own yet, I take pride in positively impacting the lives of the students and athletes I work with every day.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is AJ and I’m a compassionate, loving, go-with-the-flow mom who truly adores children. I have a three-year-old of my own, so I understand firsthand how much patience, creativity, and care little ones need as they grow and learn.

I’ve worked as a Head Teacher in a Montessori environment, guiding young children through hands-on experiences that build confidence, independence, and joy in learning. I hold an Infant and Toddler Montessori Certificate and a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology with a concentration in Child Development.

I love bringing my background in early education into everyday life—through art, dance, nature walks, and meaningful routines that help children feel secure and happy. I believe in letting kids express themselves, make choices, and have fun while learning respect, kindness, and responsibility.

If you have any questions about me or my experience, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
