About Tess

I began helping with child care around 12 years old (over 15 years ago) for cousins and neighbors. I was a camp counselor in college and worked with special needs kids in high school. I work in fitness and like to stay active, so have no trouble keeping kids busy. Arts and crafts, sports, games, and being outside are some of my favorite activities, but I'm really open to anything. I'm CPR/AED certified and will always be current as I also instruct trainings. On the personal side, I love yoga, running, reading, tending to my plants, crocheting, and hiking. I'm currently pursuing a masters degree in public health and have degrees in exercise science and student affairs. I have 2 dogs, love cats, and the only creature I'm not a fan of is sharks. All in all, I love kids. Since I do not currently have any of my own, being able to babysit and provide childcare is such a joy for me. I'm happy to provide any other information and/or references upon request.
