What I'm looking for
My name is Theresa McGuire, and I am passionate about mental health and its impact on individuals, especially children. With an associate's degree in psychology and a bachelor's degree in criminal justice focusing on forensic psychology, I have developed a strong foundation in understanding human behavior. I am currently pursuing my master's in school counseling, aiming to become a school social worker, where I can make a meaningful difference in the lives of students.
Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience working with children in various educational settings. As a lead infant teacher at Creme De La Creme, I focus on nurturing and encouraging the development of young children, helping them learn essential skills while ensuring their safety and well-being. My previous roles as a party host and daycare teacher have also equipped me with strong organizational and communication skills, allowing me to create engaging and safe environments for children to thrive.
