Meet Tessa

Hi! I’m Tessa — a compassionate, experienced, and reliable caregiver with over six years of babysitting experience, including seven years volunteering in my church's nursery. Caring for children has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and over the years, I’ve had the joy of working with children of all ages, from infants to young adults, including those with special needs. My caregiving experience ranges from entertaining energetic toddlers and managing sibling pairs to providing personalized, attentive care to individuals with disabilities such as Down syndrome, autism, and cerebral palsy. I’ve worked with both verbal and nonverbal children, and I’m experienced with feeding assistance (bottle, spoon, and tube feeding), administering medication, wheelchair transfers, and using communication aids like talking pads. Every child is unique, and I pride myself on adapting my approach to meet their specific needs while creating a safe, fun, and nurturing Read more environment. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have completed training in Recipient Rights, Basic First Aid, and Infectious Disease Safety. Beyond certifications, I bring empathy, patience, and a deep commitment to the well-being and growth of every child in my care. Whether you're looking for a babysitter who can keep up with high-energy play or someone who understands the care routines of children with special needs, I’m here to offer support, peace of mind, and trustworthy care you can count on.
