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.

Empathetic, caring, and kind caregiver

I have always been the caretaker of the family. I have experience being the matriarch in my immediate family, I have taken care of my little cousins countless times, and I have immense experience cooking and cleaning. Most of my professional experience has been aquatics.(4 years) which included lifeguarding, water safety instructor, and swim coach positions. I am certainly not shy to first aid care, planning and strategy, compassion, cleaning biological messes, attention to detail, and safety. I am very nurturing and love to teach and support. I am studying environmental science and I have the passion for creativity like arts and crafts. I believe learning is important and can be fun! I can’t wait to meet you and be an addition to your family!

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.

1. Look for relevant experience

Choose babysitters who have worked with children with similar diagnoses, behaviors, or medical needs.

2. Check training and certifications

Ask about CPR, first aid, and any specialized training (e.g., administering medication, ABA therapy, seizure response).

3. Ask detailed questions

Discuss how they would handle meltdowns, medical emergencies, or communication challenges.

4. Request references

Speak to families of children with special needs they’ve cared for before.

Observe how they interact with your child and whether they connect in a patient, caring way.

6. Be clear about routines

Provide written instructions for meals, bedtime, medications, and calming strategies.

7. Communicate about triggers and supports

Share sensory sensitivities, behavioral strategies, and comfort items.

8. Confirm reliability

Ensure they can commit to consistent care and handle unexpected situations calmly.

Begin with trial sittings so your child and babysitter can build trust gradually.

10. Trust your instincts

Choose someone who shows genuine empathy, patience, and respect for your child’s individuality.
