Hey, I’m Tessa,

I’m a mum of two school aged children, a partner to Sol, a Mobile Nanny, a Childminder, Diploma Qualified Educator and I see myself as a nurturing, kind, calm and playful creative.

I live in the beautiful Adelaide Hills, surrounded by paddocks, nature and bush, I wake up to chirping birds most mornings and can sometimes spot a koala in the gumtrees.

I founded Calmplay back in January 2022 , after working in a busy childcare centre and running an online children's store it was time to follow my passion for caring for children in a more mindful and meaningful way holding on to my strong family values.

Magill Family

Tessa comes to the door with boxes of fun activities and my kids (1.5 and 4) just run to her with excitement. Tessa builds trust and rapport in seconds.

I feel 100% comfortable when my babies are with Tessa, nothing is too much for her and she has the confidence and experience to go with the flow and work everything out.

Hiring Tessa for childminding at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. Having 2 young children under 4 (plus 2 young nieces at the wedding), it put our minds at ease that our children were well looked after and allowed us to enjoy the night. The kids loved the activities that Tessa had set up and her calm and gentle nature made the kids feel so comfortable with her. We highly recommend Tessa!!
