About Tessa
Experience: 10 yrs
Hello, my name is Tessa. I have over 15 years of experience nurturing and caring for children of different ages (ranging from infancy to school age). I excel at creating engaging, developmentally appropriate, screen free activities tailored to children's interests. I provide a safe, fun, child-led approach in a natural home setting which includes my two pre-schooled aged children. We frequent parks and I prioritize learning through play and hands-on experiences. This approach emphasizes self-directed learning, creativity, and critical thinking from an early age. My ideal family would have one pre-school aged child that could seamlessly join us in our fun filled days. I am dedicated to providing safe, reliable, fun, attentive care that meets the unique needs of each child and family. My goal is to foster an environment that supports learning through creative play and educational experiences. If this is what you are seeking, please reach out - I look forward to hearing from you!

Tessa is absolutely wonderful! She watched my 2-year-old girl and sometimes also my 5-year-old girl extensively over the past year. She actively engages my children, drawing with them and reading to them. She does not stick my kids in front of the TV, as other babysitters have. She is firm but loving, and very mature. I fully trust Tessa. My only reservation in writing this reference whatsoever is that I may have to share her. :) I recommend Tessa wholeheartedly.
