Worked as a preschool teacher as well as an Assistant Director of a Daycare Center. I love helping children learn and grow!

"The best and most loving caregiver to my two daughters! Everyday they had activities projects and adventures to explode about when I got home. Even homemade projects of the girls experiencing the fun! Theresa is so mommy and also so teacher. Not a day went by that they didn’t respect her and learned so much while having fun! I want her full time!! Anyone would be lucky to have Theresa loving their kiddos."

A little bit about me
Hi! I’m Courtney, a licensed elementary teacher with experience in Special Education, Montessori education, private tutoring, and nannying. I’ve spent several years working with children of different ages and abilities and love creating a safe, positive environment where they can learn, play, and grow.
As a caregiver, I enjoy keeping children engaged through crafts, games, outdoor play, reading, outings, and hands-on activities. My teaching background also allows me to naturally incorporate learning into our time together or provide more intentional academic support when desired.
I’m dependable, patient, organized, and passionate about providing individualized care based on each child’s personality and needs. I’m looking forward to connecting with a family who is looking for a nurturing, engaging, and reliable caregiver!

A little bit about me
Hi there! My name is Chantelle! I’m a nurturing, experienced, and hands-on caregiver who truly loves what I do! With over 8 years of experience working with children from newborns to 12 years old, I bring both professional expertise and the heart of a mom (to a sweet 2-year-old of my own!). I’ve worked as a nanny and an early childhood teacher, and am certified in CPR, First Aid, AED, pediatric nursing, and early childhood education and care.
I’m passionate about helping children grow through age-appropriate developmental play base learning activities, and limiting screen time in favor of meaningful play.
If this sounds like the right fit for your family, I’d be happy to connect and chat further!

"From the time my daughter was 6 months old, I’ve used Chantelle to babysit her and I’ve had nothing but good experiences.
They often go outside together to play and she’ll play educational games throughout the day with her as well. I also really appreciate how she sends me pictures so I can see my baby having fun.
From my experience, Chantelle is very attentive and caring. She has a son of her own which I think really stands her apart from other sitters; she has that mom instinct when it comes to teaching, preventing accidents, and problem solving. But on the flip side, she’s still pretty young so shes able to chase my wild toddler around!
She usually has her son with her when she’s watching my daughter and the two have actually became really good friends. My daughter doesn’t go to daycare, so I think being around another kid is teaching her some valuable lessons related to sharing & respect.
Overall, I’m grateful to place my daughter in safe hands when I’m not able to care for her."
