I am a responsible and caring individual. In college I studied early child development, nutrition and prerequisites for nursing. In the past, I worked in a home daycare with my aunt, that she owned. The age group ranged from 6 months to 5 years old to prepare them for kindergarten. I am CPR, first aid and AED certified. I work at a daycare and assist as a one to one support. I am currently a Behavioral Technician and use my ABA therapy skills at home visits. I learned the skills to teach children everyday life skills so they can be independent. I babysit my nieces and nephews when my family needs help. I have experience with infants from newborns- children up to 15 years old. I love being around children they are so funny and sweet. I enjoy going on walks and parks with kids so they can enjoy the outdoors. I love to play board games and cards. I am currently a nanny on Saturdays for the first kiddo I accepted on this app. I have now been with the family for 1 year. I love to be outdoors, hiking and camping.

Hi, I’m Terri I have 7+ years experience working with various ages of children and babies and I’m a Silicon Valley native. I’ve grown up helping out with babies to teenagers, I’m the oldest of six and I love animals of all kinds and I don’t mind them in the home.

She is sweet, punctual, sent me a photo and update while I was away, and did everything to make Tay as comfortable with the transition as possible! He was happy and calm when I returned :)
