With me di son will be safe. He will learn a second language for free since he will not need to pay for any classes.

"am pleased to recommend Sofia as a childcare provider. She cared for our baby with great responsibility, patience, and genuine affection. From the very beginning, Sofia showed strong skills in infant care, including feeding, diaper changes, maintaining nap schedules, and ensuring a safe and calm environment at all times. She was extremely attentive to our baby’s needs, always proactive, gentle, and reliable. Sofia communicated well with us, followed instructions carefully, and showed excellent judgment when caring for our child. We trusted her completely and felt at ease knowing our baby was in loving and capable hands. Sofia is dependable, warm, and truly dedicated to childcare. Any family would be fortunate to have her care for their child. I highly recommend her without hesitation."

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Stef but the kids I’ve care(d) for call me, Ms. Stefy. I adore children and have a lot of experience. I started babysitting when I was 13 and then I took Learning about Children & Working with Children in High School. At age 18, I nannied for a family with two young children. In my twenties, I became a stay-at-home, Mom of two! I taught Sunday school and then when my kids were in elementary school I went back to college and took education courses. I have five years of experience teaching preschooler’s. I was a floater at Goddard and then became a teacher at Forest Hill Nature Preschool (ages 2-5). I have experience with special needs children and I am first aid & CPR certified. I graduated college with my associate's degree in general studies with honors. Currently, I work full-time nannying a busy, growing family of six. I am looking for a family or two to bless as their new, Mary Poppins! I am positive, patient, prioritize safety, fun, loving, creative and energetic.

"Stef has taught our eldest, taken care of our youngest, and watches our house and kitties! She combines her education background, love of the outdoors, and playful young heart to engage the kids. Stef helped facilitate virtual schooling during Covid, and helped supplement the curriculum with related activities. She took my kids for a nature walk one time, made them flower crowns, and helped grow their love and wonder of nature. We trust Stef to watch the house and two kitties while we are away. She feeds them loves on them as she would her own dog and cat! She even picked up some of my kids toy mess when that wasn’t part of what we had asked- what a weight off my shoulders. Stef goes above and beyond and loves our family as her own. You will even get lots of professional level pictures as she checks in, since she’s a photographer with a great eye on the side!"
