Teresa was an absolute blessing for our family. She was very patient with our daughters ever-changing needs working with us from Jan-Aug 2023 (5months old-1st birthday). She helped me navigate so many stages- suggesting solutions, products, recommendations from other families she has worked with… not to mention assisting with our extremely demanding sleep training we started at 8months old. She was an amazing teacher & caregiver- taking her on walks, talking & teaching her about the world around her, feeding, putting her down for naps, etc. Teresa was unbelievable in accommodating her schedule to add in additional hours so I could pack our entire home to be moved out with 3 weeks notice. She also traveled with me on our first flight up to Tennessee with our daughter so I did not have to fly by myself with her. I was able to unpack & move into our new home while she played & worked with our daughter- always exploring, teaching, and doing all things science with our sweet girl! We were so sad to be losing her due to our out-of-state move, but feel very strongly that the next family who has the pleasure of working with Teresa, will be beyond comforted knowing their little one is in excellent hands.
