Meet Stephanie
- Comfortable with pets
- Has a car
I recently relocated to Colorado Springs from Washington and am looking for part-time babysitting work while I get my counseling practice set up here. I have a master's in counseling psychology and bachelor's in elementary education. I have years of experience with kids of all ages, as a nanny, babysitter, counselor, gymnastics coach, and most recently, as a foster parent for several years in the Seattle area. I don't currently have kids in my home since I will need to get a new foster license in CO but definitely plan to continue this in the future. I love meeting new people and families, so I look forward to meeting you!

Stephanie was easy to work with - quick response on sitter city and then via text. When she came for the first time, she quickly stepped in and made us and our 2-year old feel comfortable. She was able to get our daughter down for a nap no problem. Which is always a blessing. She was able to provide references from her previous experience.

We have used Steph twice now for date night babysitting and she is always a pleasure to have over and takes great care of our 8 month old! She is confident with feedings, bedtime routine, manages fussiness well, and is also great with our 2 doggies who follow her around. We will definitely use Steph again!

Stephanie was great watching our toddler twins when we had a night out. It was our first time hiring a sitter and she showed a great deal of Patience in answering all our questions and requests. Would definitely use again!

Stephanie was great. I don't have a lot to say as our daughter was asleep the whole time but we felt we could absolutely trust Stephanie in the case of something going wrong.

My kids loved her! She was a tremendous help with watching our kids at a last minute notice. She was able to safely drive both our kids to our son's preschool & pick him up, as well. Thanks, Stephanie!

Steph was bubbly and energetic and engaged immediately with our 4 yr old son. She showed up on time and was flexible & quick to pick up our nighttime routine. She even took our dog on their walk to the park. i highly recommend her for any childcare work.

Stephanie seemed very capable and responsible. I would give her five stars but for the fact that we were racing out the door and didn't see her in action with the kids. Everything was hunky-dory when we got home though (kids asleep, house clean, food in the fridge, etc.)

Stephanie was great. Even after the first phone conversation, I felt at ease. This was my first sitter, ever. In addition to showing up at the agreed time, Stephanie was great at getting my daughter to open up. The next morning my daughter was excited to tell me about the tinker toy butterfly Stephanie and her had made, and how Stephanie read to her before bed. I am looking forward to working with Stephanie again, she was great. Happy Dad!
