About Teresa

Experience: 20 yrs

I bring 20+ years of childcare experience, supporting children from infancy through pre-teen years for families, friends, and neighbors. With a graduate background in human behavior, I take a thoughtful, developmentally informed approach to care. My style is calm, structured, and inspired by Montessori principles--encouraging independence, curiosity, and cognitive growth through engaging, age-appropriate activities. I create environments where children feel secure, capable, and supported. I am also passionate about helping children develop healthy, age-appropriate relationships with technology, offering gentle guidance around digital awareness when appropriate. Families value my professionalism, discretion, and reliability. I am comfortable caring for up to three children and can assist with meal prep, light household support, and maintaining consistent routines. CPR and First Aid certified. I prioritize clear communication and being a steady, trusted presence in your home.

Teresa has been an absolutely wonderful support for our family. She is incredibly responsive, responsible, and respectful in every interaction. We always feel completely at ease when she is watching our kids and just as importantly, they absolutely love her. Teresa has a calm, thoughtful presence and handles everything with confidence and care. She’s smart, attentive, and truly good under pressure, which gives us so much peace of mind as parents. Every experience we’ve had with her has been positive, and we feel very lucky to have found her. We can’t recommend Teresa highly enough!
