Hi! I've been a nanny for over 12 years now, including recently in San Francisco for the last 7 years. We are now heading to Indianapolis for my husband to attend law school for the next 3 years. I grew up in Illinois about 2 hours away so I have been to Indianapolis multiple times before and have explored the city while visiting my sister who attended college there. A normal schedule for me is taking kids to and from school and activities on a daily as well as to parks and other fun developmental activities. I love children I just don't have any of my own yet and grew up in a big family. I'm currently looking for full time or part time work as I'm very new to the area. -Recently Red Cross CPR/First Aid certified in adult, children and pediatric. -Trust line certified -have over 200 hours working one on one with behavioralists as one of the twins I just nannied for was on the autism spectrum.
“I was lucky enough to find Theresa around the time we decided to transition to daycare. Although we weren’t able to hire her as our nanny, we stayed in communication for date nights and weekend help. It’s turned out to be the connection I have made on any babysitting app. Our daughter truly loves her and is so happy when she comes over. She’s interactive - always singing, playing, chatting. We always feel relaxed when she’s in our home and can actually enjoy some time away. Aside from being amazing with our daughter, shes always on time, reliable and very communicative. If you’re looking for a wonderful addition to your family, Theresa is your person!”
