About Tess

Experience: 10 yrs

I have spent more than 4 years as a teacher in a daycare setting and almost 6 years as a private nanny . I've spent much of my time caring for infants and toddlers, but I love working with older children as well. Kindness is key. Here are some things I focus on while nannying: -Establishing and maintaining a schedule -Large and fine motor skills -Good sleep practices -Learning without fear -Emotional regulation and understanding -Individual and group play.

Tess is caring, loving, and kind. She is a gentle person who has a natural talent for nurturing children. My children love her and always ask for her when she leaves. I would highly recommend her in a heartbeat. She is a gem.
