About Tessa
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I have been working with one family for three years now with a 13 y/o girl wand 10 months with her two younger brothers - aged 13 months and 3 years. In addition, I have had loads of previous experience with other families and close friends with babysitting, both with kiddos and adults with autism (high and low needs) and those that are neurotypical - from newborn to teens. I prefer to be engaging and have kiddos be mentally stimulated or get some physical/tactile play in rather than sitting them down in front of a screen! I also am very big on allowing kiddos space to talk about their feelings big and small to help navigate them through regulation so they can have tools when self soothing. Please reach out if you'd like to learn more about me as there is only so much I can write here!

I wish I could give her ten stars! She is very kind, patient, and responsible, and clean! She played with my kids all the time, rather than sitting them in front of a screen and took them to the park often with my permission. She cared for my 7 year old son who has ADHD and occasionally my 2 year old daughter when we needed. She was very respectful of my house rules and my parenting style and upheld them when I was not home. My son and daughter adore her and we miss having her around. She doesn’t care for our kids anymore because we changed our schedules around in a way so we wouldn’t need childcare anymore to save money, but we would hire her back in an instant!
