About Me

I worked as a caregiver in a rest home for five years but I have always wanted to work with children. When I moved to Palmerston North, I knew it was the right time for me to pursue my career change and I have been working as a home-based educator ever since.

My Availability

I am available Monday-Friday, 
8:30am-3:30pm (negotiable).

I currently have spaces for children over-2 -years-old. 

My Philosophy

I believe in providing a child-led learning environment and in creating a learning programme that is centred around children's individual interests and developmental stages.

I am passionate about offering a heuristic and Montessori approach to childcare. It's my aim to create a ' home away from home' for children to feel supported, nurtured and encouraged in all that they do.

My Environment

I live in Awapuni, Palmerston North.

My home has a dedicated playroom and offers an abundance of toys and educational resources for the children to interact with and enjoy. 

We love sensory and messy play, music, jumping jellybeans, water play, being out in nature and regular outings in our community.

My Training

I hold the National Certificate in Early Childhood (Level 4) and a current first-aid certificate.

Family Testimonials

"Best start to life" TN_BrandIcons-06

As a parent you want the most lovable enjoyable life for your children. Especially in their young years where life is full of wonders and learning.

You want to see them happy, safe, full of laughter and learning. As a first time parent Teigan was fantastic. She made it a easy task and her kindness and fun activities really is something that my son still talks about now. He adored his time with her and the other kids in her care at the time.

She gave my first boy and second daughter the most enjoyable, adventurous loveable start to his life. All the creativity, adventures, playgroups and joy was second to non. My house is still full or their arts and crafts. When it was time for my second child to start it was the same. Best care you could ask for.

A real home away from home. Teigan puts a lot of effort into each day and the kids have a adventure and love life. If you want your kids to have a great start to life, I would highly recommend her.

"A natural way of connecting" TN_BrandIcons-12

We truly couldn’t have asked for a better carer than Teigan. From the very beginning, she made Olive feel welcome and safe. Her warmth, patience, and genuine care for the kids shine through in everything she does.

She has such a natural way of connecting with children — Olive came home every day talking about the fun things she did, what she learned, and how much she loved spending time with Teigan.

As parents, it was so important for us to find someone we could fully trust with our child, and with Teigan, we certainly did. She created an environment that was not only educational but also nurturing, creative, and full of joy. We’re incredibly thankful for the impact she’s had on Olive and our family — we could never thank her enough!
