About Tela

Experience: 1 yr

As a caretaker, my passion lies in positively impacting children's lives and supporting families. With a year of experience, I am adept at caring for up to three children, aged between one and 11. My patient and creative nature, coupled with my friendly demeanor, allows me to connect effortlessly with children. I ensure open communication with parents, providing regular updates and adhering to their preferred communication method. Regarding household rules, I am comfortable enforcing them to maintain a structured and safe environment. From outdoor sports to educational games, I enjoy a variety of activities that promote physical, mental, and emotional development. I can help with homework, after school duties and whatever else is needed of me. Working with children brings me immense joy, and I look forward to the opportunity to care for your family.

I’ve never been more impressed , more satisfied, and calm about a single person. When she came into my life I was going through a rough patch being in between houses , unemployed etc…. I just got me some employment, and locked down a new apartment and my last issue was child care, my baby was very young so I didn’t feel comfortable with her being anywhere but in my house where I can monitor her to make sure she was safe. I needed a trusted environment that I created for my child and I needed whoever that will be with my child & to be okay with being recorded, a person who can respect my rules and follow them. Tela did just that, she cleaned , she cooked , she was punctual , never hurt my baby and she worked so good with my baby. And my daughter just loved her to pieces I could tell. She made it so I could work and provide for my child, on days I was late she stayed with her. Sometimes she would stay over night with her. She was my rock I depended on her , she made everything so easy for me, tela was truly heaven sent during a rough point in my life , she became family to me so of course when she got accepted to college, I was so proud & sad at same time, because I knew I would have to start making other arrangements, but i was so happy for her, happy to have known her. She deserved to excel. So even though it was hard to let her go because she made my life so much easier, I had to ….. in all Honesty knowing her , having her help is whats made me open minded about having my child in a daycare setting, I’m pretty sure we all have heard the stigmas about daycares, but if not for tela being the awesome person she is I for sure would of been back to struggling. I thank her virtually for her help & if you have the chance to select her to watch your children or child , i personally know that you just FIRST HAND made the best DECISION you’ll ever make towards your future. Thank you
