Tessa is a Kirkland Governess because she loves being a mentor to a young child!

“I’m a fun loving and trustworthy person. I love to draw, paint, and create; this helps a child to use their imaginary skills. I wanted to be a Kirkland Governess because I love being around children. They have a lot to offer this world, and we are the ones to teach them to do the right thing. I have been serving in some form of childcare experience for over 6 years and can honestly say I love what I do! I feel the children are fun to be around. My goal as a Nanny is to ensure the safety of the children. I am willing to do housekeeping that includes children’s laundry, cooking & dishes for the children, cleaning up after the children. If I had to describe myself in five adjectives I would say that I am responsible, reliable, trustworthy, team player, and patience. Activities that I would like to incorporate in the daily plan for the family I care for would include doing art, play dates, trips to the park, museum, etc. If asked to describe the perfect family seeking a Nanny like me, I would hope they would be loving and fun.”

“Tessa is a wonderful remarkable person. I am amazed at the ease at which Tessa can fulfill a variety of tasks. She has worked for me not only as a Kirkland Governess, but also as a tutor to my children. She even helped out the mothers in my building with their nannies were not available. I am confident in Tessa’s intelligence and maturity will be a great asset in any position.”

“Tessa was my Kirkland Governess for almost four years. I believe that she is well qualified and experiences to accept the challenge of being a nanny. Tessa originally came to care my older son, but we then welcomed another baby boy into our family that she also cared for. Tessa was fully responsible for the two children alone; changing diapers, bottle feeding, meal preparation, bath time. She also took them on outings – to the park, library, etc. That is not the only quality that makes a good childcare provider. Tessa is able to walk the fine line between “The Fun One” and “The Disciplinarian.” That is not an easy task, but Tessa manages it with ease, and I able to retain the children’s respect. I have the utmost confidence in her judgment and maturity, and have always felt comfortable leaving my children in her care.”

“I have known Tessa in a variety of capacities for many years. I first met Tessa shortly after she began working for a family in the same area that I worked in, and we quickly became very good friends. She is organized, efficient, extremely competent, and has an excellent report with people of all ages. Her communication skills are excellent. In summary, I highly recommend Tessa for any position or endeavor that she may seek to pursue. She will be a valuable asset for any family as a Kirkland Governess.”

“Tessa is a creative, hardworking, dependable and honest Kirkland Governess.”
