Hi! I’m Theresa, a nurturing and reliable caregiver with over 10 years of childcare experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I’ve worked with families in Arkansas, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Virginia, providing full-time, part-time, and homework/homeschooling support. My approach is inspired by the Montessori method — encouraging independence, creativity, and confidence through hands-on learning and gentle structure. I love setting up engaging, developmentally appropriate activities that spark curiosity and joy while maintaining a calm, organized routine. I bring patience and consistency to every day. I previously worked as an assistant teacher at a Montessori school, and I hold a B.A. from Thomas More College of Liberal Arts. Families describe me as dependable, communicative, and genuinely caring. I value creating a safe, positive environment where children can thrive emotionally and intellectually.

Theresa really stood out to us as someone who is extremely reliable and responsive. Theresa nannied for my 2.5 year old son, and we had a great experience. She planned fun activities and encouraged my son's development. She was very accommodating with her schedule to meet our needs. Theresa was always on-time and willing to jump in and offer up ideas for activities and goals. My son had a great time with Theresa and we highly recommend her for future positions!

We miss Theresa very much! I cannot recommend our aftercare in-house nanny highly enough. From January through June, she provided exceptional care for my son and quickly became an invaluable part of our daily routine, and our family. She was consistently punctual, dependable, and incredibly attentive. I always felt at ease knowing my son was in her care, as she demonstrated a genuine interest in his well-being, growth, and happiness. Her patience, kindness, and ability to engage with him in a meaningful way truly set her apart. Beyond her professionalism, she is honest, fair, and operates with great integrity. She communicated openly and handled every situation with thoughtfulness and care, which built a strong sense of trust between us. What began as a childcare arrangement turned into something much more. She became a trusted presence in our home and a positive influence in my son’s life. Any family would be fortunate to have her support and care for their child. Thank you, Theresa.
