Hello! My name is Celeste. I am a former teacher, experienced nanny, caregiver, and CPR-certified professional with over 20 years of experience working with children and seniors. I have taught in private and international schools, including Shorecrest Preparatory School and Montessori environments. I have cared for newborns, toddlers, school-age children, teenagers, and older adults, always providing compassionate and dependable care. I enjoy reading, arts and crafts, nature exploration, educational games, and creating meaningful experiences that help children learn and grow. As a bilingual English-Spanish educator, I naturally incorporate learning opportunities into daily routines. I also have several years of experience providing companion care for seniors, assisting with daily activities, meal preparation, transportation, companionship, errands, and emotional support. Families describe me as patient, trustworthy, nurturing, and reliable. My goal is to create a safe, positive, and caring environment where everyone feels supported and valued
“We were so lucky to have Celeste as our sitter for a couple of years. She was wonderful with both of our kids; always patient, compassionate, responsible, and caring. She truly treated them with love and kindness, and they absolutely adored her. When we moved to another state, our kids were heartbroken that they wouldn’t get to see her anymore, which says so much about the bond they built with her. We will always be grateful for the care, support, and positive impact she had on our family. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely amazing with children.”

I am a 4th year Optometry Student and Nova Southeastern University. I have some experience children more so from a clinical optometry and vision therapy standpoint. I believe this to be a unique skill set that allows me to more observant of your child. I am CPR certified as it is required for my profession. I have five younger cousins that I’ve had the privilege to watch and help take care over the years. I have a little bit of experience as a caretaker as I was briefly my grandmother’s caretaker up until her passing. My boyfriend and I have a dog so I’m comfortable taking care and being around them. I believe I would describe myself as dedicated and passionate. With children, I can be very fun but I also know when it is necessary to be serious.
