About Tessa

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I'd describe my personality as curious, positive, and engaging. I like working with kids because I love seeing how they experience the world! Every child has a unique perspective to share and helping them grow makes me feel like I'm really making a difference, no matter what that entails! I started working with kids when I was a kid myself, babysitting and getting my CPR/First Aid certification at age 12 (renewed multiple times, most recently Sept 2023). I've since been working in licensed childcare as an ECE teacher, ages 0-12. I have experience with tutoring in middle and high school. In my spare time, I like to read, paint/draw and watch old sitcoms like Mork and Mindy. I am an enthusiastic and compassionate person. I'm willing to go the extra mile to take care of your kids and protect them while giving them space to learn about the world. My skills include patience, problem solving, and creativity.

Tessa has been an incredible caregiver/babysitter for my niece and nephew. Abundantly patient, entertaining, and very supportive.
