A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Teresa and I have been in child care for about 8 years. I have worked both as a nanny and in daycares. I am kind, patient, and easy going. When working with children I enjoy reading, music, teaching baby sign language, exploring outdoors, simple art, sensory activities, and much more! In my free time some things I enjoy are spending time with family and friends, hiking, biking, playing softball, going to concerts, and going to coffee shops! I really love working with children and I can’t wait to start working with a new family!
