Nanny Stephanie

10+ years experience

A little bit about me

Unavailable between 2-6pm weekdays
CPR & First Aid Certified
Hello families! My name is Stephanie, and I worked as a full-time private nanny in the Houston area for seven years. I've watched toddlers grow into preschoolers, and tutored elementary school age. I am an applied behavior analysis therapist, providing therapy to autistic children. I like to help kids explore their interests and creativity. Some kids like arts and crafts, others want to learn how to code. I encourage children to follow wherever their passion lies. Getting them involved in activities with me can be a huge motivator! I always look forward to getting to know so many unique personalities. Parents have one of the hardest jobs in the world and I'd love to help however I can. All animals welcome, I can pet sit for you too. Feel free to message me with any questions, I'd love to chat.

"Stephanie is extremely reliable, communicates and takes instruction well. Handled the kids with patience, love and discipline so she took all the stress off of me. Once the kids got used to her she fit right into the family. She is also very proactive and flexible so that if things don't go to plan, she adjusts and figures it out on her own. She is a wonderful addition to any family and I would recommend her to anybody who wants a loving, responsible caretaker who can take the load off of you. We will definitely miss her."
