I'd describe my personality as patient, kind and energetic. I like working with kids because I love engaging with them and watching them learn. I'm looking for part time hours. I started working with kids when I was 10 years old. I helped out moms in my neighborhood while they were home. In my spare time, I like to hike and read and try out new restaurants. One thing you should know about me is I am dedicated. I tend to stay with families for several years. I can provide references for many families I have worked for. My skills include being intuitive, nurturing and patient.
We have been so fortunate to have Teri as our nanny for almost a year now, caring for our son from the time he was just a few months. She came into our lives right as I was preparing to return to work as a wedding photographer. With no family nearby to help with childcare, finding the right person for our family was incredibly important, and I spent a lot of time searching for the perfect fit. Looking back, choosing Teri was one of the best decisions we could have made. When Teri started with us, our son was suffering from severe colic. He would cry for hours and was extremely difficult to console. Through it all, Teri remained calm, patient, and incredibly loving. She approached every challenging day with compassion and never seemed overwhelmed. She was always willing to try new ideas to soothe him and genuinely cared about finding what worked best for him. Teri consistently goes above and beyond. She often brings new activities or toys she thinks he'll enjoy, always looking for ways to help him learn, grow, and have fun. Even on her days off, she checks in to see how he's doing, which speaks volumes about how much she truly cares. Returning to work with an infant wasn't easy, but Teri made that transition so much smoother than I ever imagined. Knowing my son was with someone who cared for him gave me such peace of mind. We are forever grateful for everything she has done for our family and cannot recommend her highly enough. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have Teri as their nanny.
