Hi, I'm Tess! I have 15+ years of childcare experience working with all ages through nannying, night nannying, daycare, preschool, and high-school settings. My specialty is newborns-2 years. I'm CPR & First Aid certified and have experience caring for children with ADHD, autism, OCD, developmental and speech delays, allergies, seizures, prematurity, multiples, and other individual needs. I value creating a safe, stable, nurturing environment while helping children learn, grow, and reach their milestones. I'm experienced with newborn routines, infant care, developmental activities, and overnight care. I'm currently finishing school for Psychotherapy and CADC, so I'm looking for part-time work. I have reliable transportation and live in Portage Park. I'm also willing to assist with household chores/management for an additional fee. I'd love to connect with a new family and provide dependable, loving care. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! -- Tess
Teresa has been kind, attentive and organized while taking care of my 6 and 2 year old. I’ll be staying in touch whenever my husband and I need a sitter.
