Hello and thank you for checking out my profile. My Name is Tess and I have been a Childcare Provider for more than 15 years in the Foothills area. I have two grown children of my own, and I was a stay at home mom for most of their childhood. Once my youngest went to Kindergarten, I decided to open my own In-Home Daycare. I specialize in little ones aging from birth-5 years old. We do a lot of pre-school learning activities including: story time, arts and crafts, free play, quiet time, etc. I practice a consistent schedule to help the children know what to expect each day, which they love and helps them feel comfortable away from mom and dad. I love watching the children grow, learn and have a great time doing so! I provide a safe, loving, encouraging home away from home environment for your little ones. I have references available upon request, and I am happy to answer any questions you may have. I believe in open communication and trust to ensure the very best childcare for your little ones. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones. My number is (530) 334-3803. LIC# 313620461

Best and most caring childcare I've ever used. They make you feel like family and treat your children like their own. Plenty of activities and educational toys are on hand all the time. Very clean and organized environment lets you feel good about leaving your children in their care during the day. Highly recommended by me ten times over.

I've known Tessa personally for 20 years and have never met anyone more gifted with children than her. She possesses a strong maternal instinct to care for all children as if they are her own. Any child would be fortunate to have her as their daycare provider. Both of her grown children are exceptional people in large part because of her complete and balanced care. Her home is a loving home with a very warm feel.

She is always calm, patient, and involved with the children. My kids are always eager to return and at ease while there. I would highly recommended lil monkeys childcare to anyone looking for a reliable interactive childcare.

I have known Tessa personally for over 13 years & while I have never found my self in need of childcare personally, I do know parents who have and they absolutely love the care she provides for their child. She loves children & is devoted to giving the best care possible to these little ones, while keeping it fun & entertaining.

If you are looking for a professional, caring and intuitive childcare provider that will treat your little one like her own - look no further! Tessa is amazing (not to mention affordable). She is a natural with children and understands each child - and parent - have their own personalities. Tessa has helped me with my little one off and on since my little one was born. She was extremely flexible and accommodating as I transitioned from working part-time to becoming a stay at home mom. She would watch my little one during conference calls to four-hour client meetings. My little one is very attached, as we are still breastfeeding, so I was extremely nervous leaving for any period of time. Tessa's calm and caring demeanor and dependability helped both mom and baby tremendously. Every time I'd return, Tessa and my LO were always playing and happy. I felt assured that Tessa was giving 110% attention. I'd highly recommend Lil' Monkey's Childcare to anyone.
