A little bit about me

Hey families! I am a UNCW public health major (currently a junior). I have been babysitting for many years and have a lot of experience with all types of kids! (Special needs, new horns, and older kids). I love being outdoors and creative, so if your child spends a lot of time on devices, it probably would not be a good fit.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Tess. I graduated highschool in 2008 and went to a community college for a while and then began college for dental assisting in 2011; I passed 2 of the 3 National boards and then had a beautiful little girl. After I had my daughter in 2012 I decided I wanted to stay home with her and began nannying! I now have 2 sweet children, I'm a mother of a 6 year old daughter, who’s soon to start 1st grade and a 1.5 year old son, who stays home with me. Both of my children mean the world to me so I know just how important and precious your children are to you, too! I would treat them with plenty of love and respect as if they were mine. I have babysat and nannied for about 4 families over the past 6 years, whom would be happy to give references. I also previously worked at an elementary school (while pregnant with my daughter), in after-school care, for 2 years, with K-5th and I loved it! While working there I was responsible for supervising my own group of 14+ children and keeping us on a routine after-school schedule. I interact well with children of all ages. My son is very easy going, he normally goes with the flow without a fuss and he adores his big sister. My daughter is a great big sister and little helper. She loves to play and interact with children, from babies to big kids! She’s becoming more independent the older she gets and does a good job of taking care of herself! We’re a very clean family and a fun, personal fact about myself, I truly have a passion for all things natural or organic. I enjoy being a “green” mom, making better food choices and choosing to use healthier everyday products for myself and my family. :) Thanks so much for taking your time to read my bio!
