A little bit about me

Hello Moms & Dads! 🌹

I’m Stephanie, a career nanny of 20+ years with a degree in Early Childhood Education and 12 years of experience as a Developmental Specialist working from home for the DOH. This has allowed me to continue doing what I love while homeschooling my child.

I have a strong understanding of child development and create age appropriate opportunities to support cognitive, social, language, physical, and academic development when appropriate. Safety, nurturing care, and FUN are always my top priorities! 😊

I believe every child is unique and deserves patience, empathy, encouragement, and individualized care. I value open communication with parents and strive to give them peace of mind while they’re away.

I have experience with premature infants through age 8, including neurodivergent children. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, a non smoker, have reliable transportation and a clean driving record. Background check and multiple Sittercity reviews available.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I’ve been a teacher in Tribeca NY as well as Bayridge Brooklyn and have worked as a Developmental Specialist with the DOH for 12 years.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy getting to know each child and letting their individual interests guide our activities. I believe children learn best when they are having fun, so I use everyday moments as opportunities to teach, encourage new skills, and support their developmental milestones while allowing them to be themselves.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I think the most important part of being a nanny is creating a relationship where both the child and parents feel cared for. I want children to feel safe, loved, understood, and excited to spend time with me, while giving parents the peace of mind to go about their day without guilt or worry. Knowing their child is happy, safe, and being thoughtfully cared for is just as important to me as being there for the child.

My experience with special needs children...

I have 14 years of experience with children on the spectrum including working with developmentally delayed children as a nanny, Case Manager and Developmental Specialist.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite moments is when a child accomplishes something they have been working toward and suddenly realizes, “I did it!” Whether it is taking their first steps, learning a new word, or mastering a new skill, I love seeing their confidence grow. Those little moments are especially rewarding because they remind me that caregiving is not just about keeping a child safe and happy, but about being present, encouraging them, and giving them the confidence to discover what they are capable of.

Valerie A. - Seeking Work in Springfield

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Springfield, NJ: Valerie A.

Hi! I’m a caring, hands-on nanny who truly enjoys working with kids of all ages from babies to teenagers.

I love staying active with the children I care for…..arts and crafts, walks, games, playdates, and anything that keeps them learning and having fun. Every child is different, and I enjoy getting to know their personality and what makes them smile.

I’m also a mom to two grown daughters (23 and 26) and a very proud mimi to a 6-month-old baby girl, so being around children is something I genuinely love.

I’m hoping to find a long-term position with a family where we can build trust and a good connection. I’m dependable, easy to talk to, and flexible with occasional date nights or extra help when needed with notice.

If you think we might be a good match, I’d love to connect!
