My name is Tess! I love being around kids and tapping into my childlike wonder and excitement! This summer, I worked for an overnight summer camp as an office manager but had the pleasure of working directly with the campers on occasion. Seeing children thrive and grow as human beings was incredibly fulfilling, and reignited my passion for working with kids. Most recently, I have been working as a full-time contract nanny for three children ages 2, 4 and 6. We love engaging in creative play, learning activities and outdoor recreation. In addition to the physical and emotional needs of the children, I am also responsible for the children's laundry, lunch preparation and light housekeeping. I have a personal vehicle for school, activity and playdate transportation and some wonderful kid approved and appropriate playlists! My interests include nature walks, reading, listening to music (mostly folk and acoustic), and painting. I am not competitive by nature, but I still get excited by sports and board games! I look forward to connecting with you and your family!

I have worked with children and youth in numerous capacities and am interested in furthering my experience. From 2016-2021 I was swimming instructor, working closely with children of all ages and abilities. During 2018 I worked for two months as an au pair in Italy. The three girls were ages 4, 6 and 8. From 2021-2024 I was an administrative assistant for a child protection lawyer and mediator. Most recently, I was an office manager for an overnight summer camp catering to children and youth with serious illness and childhood cancer. This position reignited my passion for working with children. Most recently, I have worked as a full-time contract nanny for three children ages 2, 4, and 6. I would be thrilled to discuss any of my experience further.
