About Tesa

Hi! I'm Tesa and I'm looking forward to supporting you with your needs! I am a senior at UCSC completing my Bachelors in Legal Studies. My work experience has been child focused, beginning as early as high school. I started working with kids when I was 17 as a volunteer for a girls self defense camp that I attended for years prior. I spent 3 years after that working with the camp as an instructor, empowering young girls and teaching them foundational skills of how to defend themselves. I also have experience working as a tutor for young kids where I supported not only their academics, but also their social skills! I would describe my personality as driven, compassionate and empathetic. These traits manifest in many ways in my day to day life and especially when it comes to childcare. These skills include active listening, patience and sensitivity. In my spare time I love to read, bake & cook, go to the beach, travel and spend time with my loved ones, especially my wonderful dog.
