A little bit about me

Hello! I'm Terese, a Portland native with years of hands-on experience in childcare since graduating high school in 2006. I specialize in working with infants and toddlers, but I’ve had the joy of working with children of all ages and truly enjoy engaging with older kiddos too! I pride myself on creating a positive, nurturing, and energetic atmosphere wherever I work. Punctuality and a genuine love for what I do are at the core of my approach, which is why I come highly recommended by my references. I also hold certifications in food handling, CPR, and First Aid. Outside of work, I love exploring with my dog, soaking up the beach, and enjoying seasonal activities like boating and snowshoeing. I look forward to connecting with you and discussing how I can support your family's childcare needs!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

Before becoming a private nanny, I gained valuable experience working at various daycares and preschools. This allowed me to explore different approaches to early childhood education, including Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and play-based learning. I worked with children of different age groups, from infants to preschoolers, which helped me develop a well-rounded understanding of children's developmental needs. I also had the opportunity to collaborate with other educators and adapt my caregiving style to meet the unique needs of each child, ensuring a nurturing and engaging environment for them to thrive in.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy engaging children in a variety of activities that promote learning and creativity. These include outdoor activities like trips to the park, nature walks, picnics, and water play. I also love encouraging self-expression through arts and crafts, drawing, and painting. Storytime and reading are important to me, as they support literacy, language development, and imagination, with fun trips to the library. Music and movement activities help with coordination, and I also teach practical life skills, such as sorting, cleaning, and organizing, to foster independence and responsibility.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is providing a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment where children can grow and thrive. This involves not only meeting their physical needs but also fostering their emotional, social, and intellectual development. A good nanny builds trust with both the child and the family, creating a positive, engaging atmosphere that encourages exploration, learning, and independence while always ensuring the child’s well-being and happiness.
