A little bit about me

Hello I'm Teresa! I have a BS in psychology with a focus in early childhood development. I have worked for DHHS - child protective services for 2.5 years and directly with foster children during that time. I am from a family of 11 children and was always the "mothers helper". I have helped to raise my now almost 6 year old niece since she was 2 years old. I enjoy watching children learn by helping them through play, crafts, outdoor learning, creative experiments etc. I enjoy watching child develop throughout the years and find their sense of self and confidence. Every child is different as are their needs/comforts. I listen to each child and meet them where they are in terms of needs and wants. I take a gentle approach in parenting and would want to discuss parenting styles to ensure we are working together to support your children in the best way.

Mothers helper growing up with 10 siblings, child protective services case worker for 2.5+ years, early childhood development education with BS in psychology, helping to raise my wonderful niece.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I am able to meet children where they are at. Some children learn best through hands on crafts, others learn better through outdoor play, I am flexible and creative in coming up with ideas to help educate and entertain the children I care for.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Is helping children develop into their true selves with the confidence and knowledge they need to be successful in their future.

My experience with special needs children...

I have cared for children who have struggled with undiagnosed behavioral conditions relating to transitions, sensory issues etc. I have also worked with many children who have an autism diagnosis over the years. Growing up, my siblings had many different special needs whether it be physical or developmental and I was the first to help my mother.

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Portland, ME: Leanne L.

My passion for childcare started twelve years ago when I took my first babysitters course through the American Red Cross. I started out as a mother's helper, then babysitter, and worked my way up to a full time nanny from there. I have worked for the same family for three years and helped them bring home two of their three children. I spent a couple summers in high school working as a recreation camp counselor in Yarmouth, there I learned a love for crafting and any kids activities.
I was blessed to go through the Falmouth school system where I received a wonderful education. I grew up very close to my immediate and extended family. Our summers are spent at my family lake house on Little Sebago. We spend our weekends; kayaking, camping, and hiking with our one year old Labrador named Goose. I absolutely love all things cooking and baking!
I have an 8 month old son who I would love to be able to bring to work with me. He is a happy, smart, funny baby who is on a great schedule.
