Meet Tessa
- Comfortable with pets
- Has a car
I have been working with all ages of children, in one capacity or another, for well over 20 years. I’ve done everything from nannying; to tutoring in public school and privately; to teaching riding; to supervising campers and group home residents; and more. I am a far better nanny now than I was before I was a parent. Now it is as much about facilitating for the family as it is about engaging the kids. First aid and CPR training Degree in education Pristine driving record (and lifestyle) Exceptional references I was at my last job for 2 1/2 years and became attached to the whole family, including the dog. It was very hard to see them go off to Maine. I was invited too, but I have my own adult children here. Are you my next great match? 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
