About Tessa

Experience: 3 yrs

Nice to meet you, I'm Tessa! I am new to care. com but love working with kids and have worked with kids in the past clinically, as babysitter, and as a temporary teacher. I am currently pursuing my Master's in Social Work (MSW) to specialize as a children's counselor. I am looking for part-time babysitting and nanny opportunities while I complete my graduate studies. I love creating an environment of whimsy, play, and fun, while naturally maintaining the healthy routines, safety, and deep structure that children need to thrive. My Childcare Experience: Clinical Therapy Assistant (Outpatient Hospital Clinic): Specialized in working directly with children with disabilities, neurodivergence, and injuries. Substitute Teacher (K-6th): Spent 6 months managing full classrooms of up to 25 students. Private Home Childcare: Built a trusted history of in-home care throughout high school and college. Most recently provided consistent care for a professor's 18-month-old toddler.

Tessa has been caring for our 2 daughters (4 and 5) for 2 years now. She is patient, consistent, and attentive. She really goes the extra mile to make the day fun for the kids and is great at communicating with us if anything is needed. Highly highly recommend!
