About Tess

Experience: 10 yrs

** I am unfortunately/fortunately leaving for the Air Force and am no longer seeking employment. Best of luck in finding the perfect caregiver for your family!** My name is Tess and I have been caring for children since, well, since I was one myself. With 3 brothers and 19 cousins on one side alone, I can't remember a time when I didn't have a little one on my hip. I pride myself on caring for others' children with the protection and affection I would need my own future children to be cared for with. I have been volunteering my entire life; everywhere from children's hospitals, to special needs therapeutic horseback riding, and everything in between. Due to the fact that I am constantly surrounded by children, I make a point to make sure I am always up to date with CPR courses. I am always teaching myself sign language/researching ways to be even better at working with special needs. So if you're ever in need, I would love to meet you and your little one!

There is NO ONE better than Tess! She has been such a blessing in our lives and a true game changer. She goes above and beyond every single day, is never late, and my kids truly love and adore her. She is always thinking of fun activities to do with the kids, she helps them along in their development more than any caregiver we've ever had (night and day difference with my son talking), and I have never once heard her complain. She was even able to potty train our daughter for us- and proactively volunteered to do so! Something my husband and I were struggling to find the motivation to do! Tess- we will miss you so much when you leave! You have been so, SO, SO special to us! Thanks for all that you do!!! You will never regret hiring Tess!
