A little bit about me

Hi there,
My name is Alyssa and I am ready to be your personal nanny! My nannying passion began in 2020 when I began care for a newborn and toddler weekly. I realized how well this way suits my and how much benefit I can offer my clients that I serve. Allow me to work alongside you and your family to benefit the entire household by strengthening your children’s developmental senses. I love to hear what my clients want and need and I love to deliver that to them in the best way possible. Each family has a unique job for me. Along with childcare services, I also offer housekeeping, meal prepping, grocery shopping, laundry and we can discuss further. I have my own reliable transportation. With my experience, I am confident I can become the right fit for the right family for this year and beyond. Ideally, I want to serve and focus all of my attention on a single family part-time weekly 20-25 hours. I hope to find a long term match!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Stephanie, and I’m a nurturing, dependable, and experienced childcare provider with a passion for supporting families. I’ve been caring for children for over 10 years, working in a variety of settings including daycares, Montessori schools, after-school programs, and as a full-time teacher for the past 5 years.

My experience spans all age groups, from infants to school-aged children, and I bring both patience and creativity to every role. I believe in creating a safe, engaging, and loving environment where children feel secure, confident, and free to be themselves. Whether it’s planning fun educational activities, managing routines, or simply offering a listening ear and warm hug, I’m here to support your child’s growth and well-being.

I’m also comfortable with light housekeeping, meal prep, and helping with homework or virtual learning. My background allows me to encourage learning through play and provide structure that supports healthy development.
