About Tessa
Experience: 9 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Aloha! My name is Tessa and I'm from Minnesota. I went to Columbia University in nyc where I was a D1 diver, U of MN and U of HI-Manoa in undergrad studying biology, environmental science, neuroscience, public health and Spanish. I also studied yoga, ceramics and mindfulness. During undergrad, I was a full time nanny for the same family for six years, a pair of twins from the ages of 5-11. I also nannied a newborn from 0-6months and a toddler from 16 mo to 24 mo. During 2020, I helped four boys as a teachers assistant and a nanny. I assisted them with online learning while cooking, cleaning, and caring for them on an emotional level. I was a mental health assistant for kids with developmental disabilities, such as autism. I also was a volunteer at the children's hospital for 6 years. I'm currently doing conservation work on the island. I'd love to work with you and get to know your kids to see if we are a right match!

Tessa has been an extension of our family for most of my children's lives. She became their regular nanny - mostly in the summers but many times during the school year as well - and won over our whole family with her peaceful, fun and loving approach to life. Over their 6 summers together, our boys came to love the many outdoor adventures Tessa would bring them on. These outings have instilled a love of adventure and nature in our boys that will carry them through their lives. Tessa will always be a part of our family, and I couldn't recommend her more to be part of yours as well.
