A little bit about me

I'm Stefanie, 19, and from Austria. Some of my interests are traveling, playing my instruments, languages (German, English, French, Russian), and - of course - the work with kids.
At 14, I started my own tutoring business, which has expanded to child care. I have provided my service to over 35 children now and also have experience with kids with special needs.
I would describe myself as a very caring and responsible person who takes her work very seriously. I will take your kid to school, cook, help with homework, organize exciting activities, or clean - thorougly and with enthusiasm.
I would absolutely love to work in the U.S. because I have a strong connection to this country. My fiancé is an officer in the marine corps and currently becoming a pilot in Pensacola, which is why I'm moving there.
In conclusion, becoming a nanny in your family would be such an honor. I would absolutely love getting to know you and I promise you: Your children will be in best hands.

The most important part about being a nanny...

There are many important parts about being a good nanny, but to me the most important ones are:

- building trust and comfort: Your children are my main focus and since I want to take care of them, I want to make sure that they, as well as you as the parents, see me as a person they can trust and also talk to when problems occur.

- being enthusiastic about my job: As a nanny it is crucial to love what you're doing, since only then it is possible to really connect with the children. I think children can sense when that's not the case and that's what I want to avoid. I love taking care of kids and I will always go the extra mile to make this experience just as rewarding for you and your children as it will be for me.

- being flexible: I think the work with kids isn't just a nine to five job as "emergency" situations can always occur. I am a very flexible person. I'd work as a live-out or a live-in nanny and I'll always make sure to be available in case I'm needed.

My experience with special needs children...

- 1 boy (10 years old) with autism
- my cousin (boy, 9 months old, who's mentally disabled due to complications at birth)

The most important part about being a nanny...

In 2018 I took care of a young boy who's autistic. This was probably the most difficult challenge, as it was very hard to win his trust. However, I still remember that one day after I had taken care of him for around 2 months, when he gave me a hug before I left. Even though it might seem like something small, for me it was such a happy moment.
