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 just graduated college with my Bachelor of Science, and I am looking to work with kids until I start my doctorate program. I am patient, hardworking, responsible, fun, caring, and trustworthy. I have a reliable car in case of emergency or transportation needs. I love the outdoors, playing soccer, spending time with friends and family, cooking, cleaning, picking up new hobbies, etc. I have always loved babysitting and have 7 years of experience. I currently have experience working at a daycare program and nannying a 4 month old. I would love to help out as little or as much as needed. I like to be hands on when I babysit and spend meaningful time when a child is in my care. I would love to get in touch and answer any further questions!

I love taking care of my little cousins and playing with them. I’m currently a college student at BGSU for International Studies. I don’t get to see my cousins often, but I visit them whenever I can, often ending up with 4 of them chasing me around the whole day. I enjoy watching movies and reading, sometimes also crocheting. I’d love to help support a family with their kids!
