All about Stephanie
All about Stephanie Tuthill, MA, CCC-SLP
Speech background and certifications:
I have been a speech language pathologist for over 10 years. I received my undergraduate degree in special education from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. Upon graduating, I went on to receive my masters degree in speech language pathology from Northwestern University in Evanston, IL. I have worked as a speech therapist in numerous public and private schools, the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, home health speech, and currently provide teletherapy speech services. I hold my Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP) through the American Speech and Hearing Association. I love working as a speech therapist and help others with their speech and language development!
Mama + family background:
I am mom to three young children – Grace (5 years), Caroline (3 years) and Brooks (18 months). My husband, Matt, and I met at Vanderbilt in Nashville and we have been married for 8 years. We have lived in Dallas and Chicago prior to recently moving to the western suburb of Chicago and we are enjoying suburb life!
Why I am excited to start working for bumble.baby:
Kate and I have known each other for many years, as Kate and my husband went to high school together. Kate has been an incredible resource to me over the years with my little ones. As I was one of the first of my friends to have children, I felt as though I did not have many places to go to for help or advice. Kate provided me with the knowledge, support and care to help guide me through being a mom! I am excited to help offer speech and language support for others, just as Kate has been able to offer new mom support for me!

Difficulties I’ve encountered in motherhood:
With my first daughter, I did not implement a sleep schedule and donât think I slept for 9 months! I then learned about Moms on Call from Kate and followed the schedule with my next two children. I was so grateful for a program that offers simple strategies that work for new, sleep-derived parents! I now have three kids that all sleep through the night (most of the time!).
My favorite part of motherhood:
As a speech therapist, I love watching my childrenâs speech and language skills develop, especially the burst of language that occurs around 18 months of age! Seeing a child learn and discover the world around them is so fun to watch. Each of my three children have such unique, wonderful personalities. I love to see them each develop and grow in their own way!
What I can’t live without as a mom:
As a mom, I canât live without my mama friends, yoga pants and coffee!
