Isabela Teresa

Certified Educator  ·  Childcare & Pet Care Specialist  ·  Bilingual EN / ES

Hi, I'm Bela — and caring for your family isn't just something I do, it's something I love with my whole heart. I've spent years as a certified classroom teacher across numerous schools and daycare centers, working with children from newborns and toddlers all the way through early childhood. I have extensive hands-on experience with toddlers and younger children in particular — including navigating sleep routines, developmental milestones, and the beautiful chaos that comes with the tiniest little ones.

Along the way I've had the privilege of being able to form bonds with children of all walks of life, and over time I became more patient, more adaptable, and more understanding of each child's unique needs. I am fully bilingual and fluent in Spanish, which means I can communicate comfortably with Spanish-speaking families and make every child feel right at home.

Beyond childcare, I have years of experience caring for pets — cats, dogs, you name it. I am an avid movie watcher and I enjoy writing songs and poetry in my spare time. I am AED, CPR, and First Aid certified, I hold a clean background record, and I'm eager to help you take care of your family.

My Fur Babies, Chuki & Lita

Because caring for animals is just as personal as caring for people.

Meet Chuki and Lita! These two rascals are both my roommates and my biggest fans. They've been by my side through it all, and they're a big part of why pet care feels so natural to me. I've had pets my entire life, and they taught me that pets aren't just animals, they're family. When I care for your pets, I treat them as if they were my own — because I genuinely understand how much your fur babies mean to you. Chuki is the bigger fella with jet black fur. Lita is the smaller one with the patched fur. Both of them make every day just that much better!
