A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Theresa and I am from a family of six kids. I've been watching kids of all ages ever since I can remember. I graduated in 2010 from Virginia Tech with a degree in Human Development, specifically early childhood development. I have held many childcare positions throughout my life and have taught preschool. I've also worked intensely with a child with Special Needs (specifically, Downs Syndrome). Most recently, I have been involved in the events industry which has taken a huge hit this year due to COVID.

I have many great references and have even nannied full time.

A little bit about me

Hello!
I’m currently a nanny in geneva for 3 kiddos the past 3 years. I also worked in a daycare 3.5 years before I started nannying. I am sad to leave my nanny family but I will be moving to lakeview east in August & looking to become a FT nanny again! I am still in school but it is completely online (no classrooms at all) & there is no video calls or zooms. Would love to chat more if you’re looking! 🙂
