Headline: Dependable Professional | Childcare, Senior Support, Pet & House Sitting About Me: Hi, I’m Celene! I hold an Associate of Arts in Business Administration, which has deeply influenced my organized, dependable, and detail-oriented approach to caregiving. I am proud to offer a versatile range of support for families in my community, spanning across childcare, senior care, pet care, and house sitting. My childcare experience is extensive and hands-on. Having raised four daughters—navigating everything from the toddler years through middle school and all the way into adulthood—and now as a grandmother of three, managing a busy household is second nature to me. Beyond childcare, my professional background in healthcare customer service and my work providing specialized senior concierge services have given me a wealth of compassionate experience assisting seniors with their daily routines. I am also a huge animal lover and a proud dog mom to two large-breed Boxers, so handling big, energetic pets is absolutely no problem! Furthermore, as a state-commissioned Notary Public, I am extensively background-checked, highly organized, and trusted to handle sensitive situations, making me a remarkably reliable choice for house-sitting and keeping your home secure while you travel. I truly love caregiving because I have a deep passion for supporting families. I know firsthand how challenging it is to juggle professional duties with household management, and I find immense joy in providing the peace of mind and an extra set of capable hands that families need to thrive. On a personal note, when I am not working, I absolutely love cooking and am currently having a blast developing my own signature spice blend! My Summer Availability: With the school year wrapping up on May 22, I will be shifting to a highly flexible, full-day schedule. Whether you need dedicated daytime coverage while the kids are out of school, a multi-family Nanny Share, an afternoon pet sitter, or a reliable Friday date-night caregiver, my schedule is wide open to support your summer plans!

$23 per hour for 1 child

Hello. I'm a retired Children's Social Worker and Reading Specialist who moved to AZ just last year. I have a Bachelor's degree in Social Work with a minor in Spanish and my grad school work was in Psychology. I have 30+ years of experience in multiple Child Development settings: Birth - 3, preschool, and school age settings. Bilingual (Spanish) - I held an Interpreter contract (federal) for 13 years in the Puget Sound/Greater Seattle area. Experience with ranges in age from 0-5 in Early Head Start/Head Start programs and Home Visitor program; middle school Resource (Mainstream Special Education) classroom and ESL (English as a Second Language) program, elementary school all grade levels in Resource classroom and ESL program; high school age Test Administrator (program eligibility determinations) for ESL programs. I was a certified WA state instructor for parenting classes ordered by the legal system - for 2 years, I taught a rotating 10 week course that was mandatory for divorcing parents, with an emphasis on its impact on children. I have raised my own 2 children and both are successfully adulting 20-somethings. I have experience with infants and toddlers with seizure disorders and motor skills therapies, fine motor concentration. I've had cats and Labrador Retrievers for decades. I also am a very active participant regarding the care of my mother, a long ago diagnosed dementia patient. I have extensive knowledge of a variety of reading curriculum and language acquisition practices. I am well versed in what is considered developmentally appropriate practice and consider myself to possess a good amount of patience. I am very active - a workout enthusiast, played competitive soccer for many years, rowed on the crew team at a D1 college, and have been an active snow skier and snowshoer since childhood (benefit of living by Mt Rainier in WA). I raised my own children to love hiking and kayaking and the thrill of the outdoors in general. I'm not a "device" person (while I understand that cell phones, computers, and iPads are necessary in today's world, I did my time with them and taught during the COVID years, etc - I'm not a fan and I always promote time spent outdoors or playing old fashioned games or learning in any other way besides the "digital" way). There's probably a lot more I could say about myself, but honestly I'm just looking for occasional or part time work in the field/arena in which I am the most experienced. Thank you for considering me.

Booked by 3 families in Maricopa, AZ

Hi, my name is Adela! I’m 52 years old and offer both child care and senior care services. As a proud mom of three (all grown now!), I homeschooled them all the way through high school, so I’ve spent many years caring for and guiding children through all stages of development. I truly love being around kids, playing age-appropriate games, reading together, doing crafts, or even heading out to classes or appointments. I’m happy to prepare simple, healthy meals and I’m also very comfortable with pets, so I’d be glad to help care for them too. While I don’t have professional senior care experience, I’m a kind, attentive, and compassionate person who is happy to offer companionship and support when needed. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I always keep safety as a top priority. I’m also a Christian and attend Central Christian Church, and I try to bring patience, honesty, and a warm heart into every home I enter. I’d love the chance to support your family and bring a sense of calm, care, and consistency to your daily routine. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to chat or ask any questions!

I would recommend Adela to anyone who needs a caring and kind person to look after their babies. She was punctual and brought a very calm presence to my household. She’s knowledgeable and patient. I am happy she was able to watch my 10 month old.
