Hello everyone, my name is Tessa and I am currently attending BGSU. I am a junior and am majoring to become an intervention specialist. I am 22 years old and I already have a tremendous amount of experience when it comes to babysitting and caregiving for others. My current job while I am at home is a caregiver for one of my brothers group homes in his business. I am in charge of taking care of 4 low-functioning autistic men and my oldest brother also has low-functioning autism. Just from growing up with him, I have had so many real-life experiences that have shaped me into the person I am today. I have also babysat for one family for about 5 years in my hometown that had 3 children (ages when I went away to college were 9,5,2) Babysitting is something that brings me joy and it’s right up my alley when it comes to all the experience that I have. Other experiences I have had are: - volunteering in a first grade classroom - volunteering my whole senior year at an autistic center for children in the k-3 classroom (had all low-functioning nonverbal autistic boys) -assisting as a student aid in various elementary, middle, and high school classrooms (required field work for my major at bgsu) -babysitting for multiple families in the area (ages 1-12)

I’m an experienced nanny and babysitter who genuinely loves working with children! Over the years I’ve cared for kids of all ages and supported families with everything from cooking and cleaning to school drop-offs, activities, and keeping the household running smoothly. I bring a calm, kind energy and always try to create an environment where kids feel safe, inspired, and encouraged to explore their curiosity. Creativity is a big part of who I am, I’m currently studying architecture, and in my spare time I love painting, reading, and designing furniture. I enjoy sharing that creativity with kids through crafts, outdoor adventures, and hands-on learning moments. Family is important to me, and I bring that same warmth, reliability, and patience into every home I work in. If you’re looking for someone who is responsible, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping your children grow and thrive, I’d love to support your family.
