My Summary
About Me
Hello! I'm Tess, a dedicated caregiver with a passion for nurturing young minds and creating a positive and structured environment for children to thrive in. With a background in childcare spanning several years, I bring a wealth of experience and a genuine commitment to the well-being and development of the children under my care.
From January 2021 to December 2023, I had the privilege of working with a family, where I established and maintained structured daily routines to promote stability and consistency. I provided comprehensive care for two delightful 9-year-old girls, ensuring their safety, happiness, and academic growth. Collaborating closely with the parents, I maintained open communication and provided regular updates on the children's progress and well-being. Whether it was dropping off and picking up from school, assisting with homework, or preparing nutritious meals, I approached each task with enthusiasm and dedication.
Prior to my role with that family, I provided part-time nanny care from December 2019 to December 2020. Here, I balanced the needs of a 3-year-old boy and a 7-year-old girl with flexibility and adaptability. I supported the older child with homework assignments and school projects while organizing diverse activities to encourage creativity and physical activity.
In addition to my nanny roles, I've also been engaged in ad-hoc babysitting since 2018, providing evening care for various families. This experience has honed my skills in household management, meal preparation, arts and crafts, homework help, and complaint resolution.
My approach to childcare is rooted in patience, empathy, and a genuine love for fostering positive growth and development in children. I believe in creating a nurturing and stimulating environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore their interests and talents.
With skills in household management, meal preparation, arts and crafts, homework help, and a natural ability to resolve any challenges that may arise, I am confident in my ability to provide exceptional care for your family.
I am excited about the opportunity to bring my passion for childcare and my proven track record of excellence to your family. Let's create a nurturing environment where your children can thrive and flourish together!
