About Tess

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi families! My name is Tess, and I genuinely love working with kids. Over the past few years, I've had the chance to care for children in a variety of fun and busy environments, including with children programs. I enjoy creating a positive, fun space where kids feel safe, included, and free to be themselves. Whether we're doing arts and crafts, playing outside, building something creative, or reading stories together, I love being engaged and part of the fun. Families often describe me as patient, dependable, and energetic, and I always make sure kids are well cared for while having a great time. I'd love the opportunity to help support your family and get to know your little ones!

Tess is wonderful! Warm, caring, and great with our kids. She’s on time, reliable, and communicative. And the best review of all: our kids LOVE her. Every week they are SO excited for her to come over, and they constantly ask when she will be back.
