Recent reference

"Theresa provided dedicated, one-on-one care for my 1yr, Louis, and quickly became a trusted and important part of his daily life. She created a warm and loving environment where he always felt safe, happy, and comforted. Theresa carefully followed his routines, managing meals, naps, and playtime with consistency and attentiveness. She spent meaningful time engaging him in age-appropriate activities that supported his early development, always encouraging his curiosity and growth. What stood out most was Theresa’s natural kindness and patience—she was incredibly in tune with his needs and responded with genuine care and thoughtfulness. She celebrated his milestones, comforted him when needed, and brought a calm, reassuring presence every day. It was clear that she truly cared for Louis, treating him with the same love and attention as if he were her own. Her communication was always open and reassuring, giving complete peace of mind knowing he was in such capable and caring hands."
