About Tess

I'm a compassionate, easy going caretaker that loves to encourage curiosity and creativity. I adore working with kids because I learn from them, laugh with them and get the privilege of watching the wonder of them discovering their world. I like to help kids develop emotional awareness and regulation. I love to plan outings and activities, explore nature or just follow the kids lead and dive into imaginative playtime. I also love to read to children and help them wind down when it's time to calm down or rest. I have experience with a range of special needs. I have worked with children from 3 wks to 19 yrs. I value finding a family that feels like a natural fit. I enjoy being part of a family team and thrive in easy-going homes that embrace open communication and mutual respect.
