The older sister who knows how to have fun (and how to get them to listen lol)

24 year old artist interested in childcare

I was born in Park Slope, but grew up in a small town on Long Island until college, where I moved back to NYC. Pursued a dual degree, my attitude was to cram in as much learning as I could while I was in school. Since graduating in 2024, I've had different service jobs but find it hard to balance my need to create in spite of that. I know working with kids in the past has filled my cup, so I look forward to creating these connections again! My childcare experience spans across coaching sports, volunteering at the library for childcare programs, as well as in home babysitting for neighbors & family friends. When I was younger, I played softball and volleyball for many years. In which I garnered experience coaching, and began coaching teams of (elementary to middle school) girls for volleyball, as well as 1on1 sessions for softball. In high school, I would volunteer at an afterschool daycare programs at my local library, and read books, as well as lead crafts to groups of children varying from ages 2-10. In my adulthood, I have in-house babysat multiple times, typically in the evening, for kids as young as 3-8.

Hi everyone!!

My name is Teresa! I’m a high school junior with big dreams of becoming a nurse. I’ve been babysitting for a while, and I especially love working with children who have special needs. I believe every kid deserves to feel safe and understood, and I always put my heart into making sure they do. I’m known for being reliable, patient, and genuinely caring. I also love pets, so if you have furry family members, that’s a bonus. I look forward to being a supportive and fun presence in your child’s life.

Member since: Sep 2024

Let's know each other!

I have a fascination for childhood education including first aids training with a specialization in first years obtained during 6y at Peru and Spain in Emilia Barcia Boniffatti and Intermunicipal del Penedes Schools.

Over these 5 years I've worked with childrens from 4 months to 3yo, being part of their development and the obtainence of the walking and communication skills and potty training.

As a babysitter I work for love and kindness towards children putting them as a first priority.

I use to engage with children treating them with respect and authonomy considering their necessities and nature working with parents as a team.

I prefer to use strategies from different education authors as Montessori, Waldorf, Aucouturier and knowledge from different psychologist authors as Skinner, Piaget, Bandura and Vigotsky- as authonomy, daily tasks and home participation, symbolic game, behavioral charts, observation and imitation -all considering the children's necessities.

I also love spending time with children to be more than a sitter, but part of the family so is natural for them being under my supervision.
