• Comfortable with pets

Hi families! My name is Stephanie and I'm an early childhood arts educator and caregiver based in West Philly! I have 4 years of teaching and program and curriculum creation/implementation experience in a primary Montessori environment and 10 years of professional caregiving experience! As a caregiver, I’ve cared for children from infancy through school age, including caring for siblings and multiple children in nanny shares. In 2015, I graduated from Temple University with a BA in Theater and particularly love cultivating a love of arts with children! I also love exploring the city, spending time outside and working on Montessori-centered art, cooking and sensory projects utilizing household items and materials with children in my care! I'm a big believer in creating a stimulating and active environment that encourages a sense of independence, empowerment, empathy through social-emotional exploration, creativity and of course, fun! As a teacher, I began my time in Read more a local Montessori school as an Assistant Camp Counselor and three out of four summers, served as Camp Director where I planned camp theme and created original, daily works and lessons that rotated weekly to correspond with the changing weekly sub-theme! After my first summer of work there, I was offered a new role they had very kindly created for me as Assistant Teacher in the Extended Day program. Each year of my teaching, I was promoted to new roles with increased responsibility, becoming Co-Lead Teacher and eventually Lead Teacher in the Extended Day program. In these roles, I created original Theater, Art, STEM, Cooking and Movement lessons and presented to children! I have the following: -all current PA State clearances -CPR certification and First Aid training -am fully vaccinated/up to date on boosters and am Covid cautious -Valid PA State Driver’s License -Several references and formal resume available upon request! I get a lot of satisfaction from watching children meet new milestones and surprise themselves with new passions and skills--it's truly my honor to help guide them along the way! Thank you very much and looking forward to learning more about your family.

Trust & safety
