About Tessa

Experience: 10 yrs

Caring for children is truly my passion, and I bring a warm, bubbly, and creative energy into every home I work in. With over 10 years of experience caring for children from newborns through teens-along with a background as a Pre-K teacher-I offer a strong foundation of knowledge paired with a fun, engaging approach. I'm confident caring for up to four children at a time and love creating a nurturing, structured environment where kids feel safe, happy, and excited to learn. From outdoor adventures to imaginative play and educational activities, I enjoy keeping children engaged while supporting their development. I'm patient and calm, while also consistent with boundaries and household expectations. I value open communication and provide thoughtful updates in whatever way works best for your family. My goal is to bring both peace of mind to parents and a joyful, supportive presence to the children in my care.
