Meet Terri

  • Comfortable with pets

Qualifications: My name is Terri Turntine, and I am currently employed as a teacher's assistant at a licensed daycare facility. I hold certifications in CPR/First Aid and Mandated Reporting, and I possess an Associate Degree in Elementary Education. I would be pleased to provide documentation of these credentials upon request. In addition, I have completed over 50 hours of professional development through Gateways to Opportunity in Early Childhood Education, which has further enhanced my qualifications to work effectively with children. My availability for the summer is part-time—I’m available early mornings/evenings on weekdays and fully available on weekends. About myself: I have a genuine passion for working with children of all ages, especially younger ones, which I’m more experienced and qualified to care for. I love engaging in creative activities like arts and crafts, and enjoy taking children on fun, enriching outings to places like the zoo, Shedd Aquarium, and other Read more kid-friendly attractions. I’m easygoing, patient, and kind-hearted, and I truly enjoy creating a safe and joyful environment for children to learn and grow.

We had a wonderful experience with Terri! She watched our son on the Fourth of July and was incredibly attentive, kind, and professional. He felt comfortable with her right away, and we were at ease knowing he was in great hands. She even stayed a little later than expected and adapted seamlessly to our needs. Highly recommend!
