Childcare that feels like family.

Finding childcare you can trust is overwhelming. You're busy, and the internet is full of strangers. I'm Steph, and I've done the hard part for you: I personally interview and background-check every caregiver before they join my roster. From a Saturday night sitter to a full-time nanny, you get someone I already trust.

Meet the founder

Hello, I'm Stephanie.

I have been nannying on and off for 14 years and have cared for many children from ages three months to fifteen. Over the years I've cared for high-profile families, including the lead singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I've had the pleasure of traveling internationally with a family and tutored two young boys on a three month sabbatical across Europe. I love spending time with children and learning from their curious minds.

After moving to Squamish from California, I continued my passion for nannying. After searching for a nanny position, I realized there is a large demand for child care in the Sea to Sky. I was suddenly overwhelmed with requests and recognized how time consuming it can be to find the perfect fit for each family. After this realization, Sea to Sky Nannies was born, and my commitment to helping families find trusted nannies began.

How we vet

Every caregiver, vetted by hand.

Before a caregiver ever meets your family, they've cleared all five of these steps with Steph personally. No exceptions.

  1. 1

    Application & screening

    We review experience, certifications, and availability before anything else.

  2. 2

    Personal interview

    Steph personally interviews every caregiver over video before they join the roster.

  3. 3

    Reference checks

    We speak with past families and employers, and keep notes on every call.

  4. 4

    Criminal record check

    A current background check on every caregiver.

  5. 5

    CPR & first aid

    Certifications verified as current before any placement.

Want to see the work? Ask us about any caregiver and we'll walk you through exactly how they were vetted: our interview summary, reference notes, and confirmation of a clear record check and current certifications.
