About Steph

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hi there! My name is Steph and I am a 22-year-old recent college grad. This May I received my degree in political science with an emphasis in legal studies. Some of my other interests include crafting, calligraphy, baking, fashion, and of course, childcare. I have been a babysitter/nanny for 11 years now and have worked with over 20 different families. I have experience with kids of all ages, from newborns to pre-teens. I'm not afraid of stinky diapers, baths, or bedtimes. Believe me, I've seen it all! In addition to my experience, I am also a Red Cross Certified Babysitter and am CPR Certified. Most importantly, I love little kiddos and sincerely enjoy getting to meet and connect with new families. While I am currently finishing up a legal internship in Northern California, I will be moving to the Chicagoland area in late August. I am so excited to come back to my roots in the Midwest and I can't wait to find a new family to nanny for along the way.

Steph has taken care of our 2 boys for the last year (ages 3 months and 18 months when she started). She has watched them 8-5 pm while my husband and I worked everyday. She has been absolutely incredible with our boys and we would highly recommend as a full time nanny or ad hoc babysitter! Steph is patient, thoughtful, affectionate, and caring. She is a fantastic cook and has made tasty treats for our family all throughout her time with us. Steph has been on time, and even early, for work every single day she has watched our children. She has changed countless dirty diapers and deals with toddler tantrums with grace. She helps us with our children's laundry and the place is always very clean and tidy when she leaves. Our oldest is now commonly saying his please and thank yous because of her, and he is well down the path of early potty training because of Steph's hard work. We are very lucky Steph came into our lives when she did. I went back to work with our youngest being only 10 weeks old, and she gave us complete confidence that the kids were happy, well cared for, safe, and loved. We love Steph!
