Meet Stephanie

Hi, I’m Stephanie Meninga.

I believe every child is a gift from God, and caring for them is a calling I take seriously and joyfully.

My approach is gospel-centered: I care for children with the patience, kindness and grace Christ shows us, while honoring your family’s routines, rules and values. I’m hard-working and love going above and beyond, whether that means a tidy kitchen when you get home, a warm meal ready for the kids, or an encouraging word over homework.

I bring five years of professional daycare experience plus private nanny work with families, and I’m nearly finished with my bachelor’s degree in early childhood education. I care for children of any age, from newborns to big kids, in a reasonable group size so every child gets real attention.
