Friends since middle school, Alexandra and Stephanie have sixteen years of babysitting experience between them. They've worked closely with children of all ages from infants to teens. Their genuine care and adoration for children has gained them phenomenal references from families they've worked with for years and counting.
Both Stephanie and Alexandra care a great deal about health, nutrition, and education. They would love to see a world where a dialogue is started with all children at an early age about the benefits and rewards of a healthy lifestyle and a respect for the environment ; whether it be in regards to the relationships they create, the projects they embark on, or the food they savor.
Alexandra (23yrs) hails from a large family. The eldest of eight grandchildren, she has been looking after her cousins and younger sister for years. Alexandra began babysitting in high school when she realized she wanted to pursue a career in Early Childhood Education. Throughout her college career she worked part time as a nanny for various families in Manhattan and Brooklyn. After she graduates in May with a double major in English Language Arts and Women and Gender Studies, she plans to attend the West Side Montessori school located in Manhattan's Upper West Side where she hopes to gain a Maria Montessori certification for teaching children ages 2-6. Alexandra speaks French, loves completing creative (art, cooking)projects, and, on her down time, enjoys spending time with her family and taking her dogs on trips to the dog run!
Born and raised in Manhattan,
Stephanie, 24, has always gravitated toward working with kids. From babysitting in her neighborhood starting at 15 to working at various day camps for summers at a time, her experience is not only extensive but with children of all ages doing everything from cooking to sports. She recently graduated from the French Culinary Institute after attending Brooklyn College, majoring in Health Sciences. She currently lives on the Lower East Side and does private catering for small parties and events. She hopes to one day lobby for children's rights and healthier lunches in schools, particularly in underprivileged neighborhoods.
*Stephanie and Alexandra are available for babysitting, children's birthday parties, and catering events.
