Hi I'm Tessa! I am currently an occupational therapy assistant in the school setting with plans to further my education in the near future. I have always pursued my passion of working with kids. Whether it is playing with them outside at the park, or helping them learn a new skill, I thrive when surrounded by the smiles and energetic faces of children. I have worked with children in many capacities including as a personal nanny, a paraprofessional in an Autism room, an intern at a children's home, and a summer camp counselor. I worked as a full-time nanny for a newborn and toddler and most recently I've spent several summers nannying 2 elementary aged boys who are now too old for a nanny. Why do kids grow up so fast?! I love planning fun activities for kiddos and going on outings to the zoo, library, or fun new parks! I firmly Read more believe there is no such thing as being bored! Interests: I love being outside whenever possible-hiking, picnics, lake days, hammocking. Crafting, game nights, audiobooks, Disney, music/singing, and cooking are also things I love. My faith is most important to me, it's why I do what I do! Looking for a part time nanny job during the summer. Hours available: M-Thurs. mornings-3pm, Friday: all day References given upon request
