A little bit about me

Hi! my name is Morgan Stein. I just graduated from the University of Delaware with an elementary education degree with concentration and special education. I’ve always had a passion for working with children and helping them learn and grow in a safe, supportive environment. I’ve worked with children of all ages and abilities, and I genuinely enjoy building positive, trusting relationships with both kids and their families. I'm responsible, patient, and energetic, and I love incorporating fun, educational activities into daily routines. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning crafts, or spending time outdoors, I always aim to create a caring and engaging space where children feel happy and supported. I’m excited to bring my experience and enthusiasm to a nanny position, and I look forward to becoming a dependable part of your child’s day!

A little bit about me

I've been babysitting for about 5 years and would love to make it a full time job! I've taken care of all different ranges of children, from my own siblings to the children of family and friends, all ranging in ages from infants to young kids. I absolutely love interacting with children and appreciate how different and special they all are.
I'm able to help out with things like chores, meal preparation, pet care, errands, groceries, homework, and remote learning. I am very patient, great at multi-tasking, reliable, thorough, organized and clean!
I'm fluent in English & Spanish and I'm a big animal lover. I'm First Aid/CPR/AED certified for adults, children, and infants.
I have my own reliable transportation and a valid NYS license with no tickets or traffic violations. Comfortable with driving children to activities and school. I'm always jumping at the chance to lend a hand.
Hope to hear from you, thanks for looking! :)
I am currently looking for a full-time opportunity

A little bit about me

I currently work in a special needs school known as Western Suffolk Boces, and love being able to interact with all types of children. I also have twin younger sisters that I have watched myself when they were younger and have other experience with babysitting more than one child at a time. I am very energetic and love to have fun with children, whether it's taking them to an adventure park or even the beach to just watching TV and doing arts and crafts. I also do not mind, and love all types of pets
