I am a Kindergarten teacher in the Seattle area! Through my position, I have a clear background check. I am creative when it comes to keeping kids busy and engaged! I also pride myself in keeping a clean house and classroom, so I can help with cleaning as well. Cat care available as well!
Hello, My name is Celeste, I’m new to this app but not new to working with kids! For the last sixteen months, I’ve worked for the University of the Pacific. Those kids loved me! Many tears when I left, I even have letters from students that I’m more than willing to share! I worked with elementary and middle school kids going from Kindergarten to Eighth grade. That’s my professional background. On a personal level, I’ve babysat my three nephews and two nieces by myself when my sisters would leave town or just needed a date night. Currently, the oldest is fifteen years old and the youngest is seven but I’ve babysat them since they were babies. I have also tutored students. I usually help out with light housekeeping while I’m there. If driving is needed, I’m 20 years old and I’ve never gotten a ticket or so much as even been pulled over. I do not text and drive, I would never put anyone’s life in danger like that. As for pets, I’ve pet sat for family friends in the past including different dog breeds and cats. I do not fear bully breeds, they deserve just as much love as others. I’m not afraid of reptiles, I have a bearded dragon myself. I’m open to any and all animals and will treat them with much care! For seniors, I help my grandpa out a lot. He’s 78 years old and is very stubborn but I still help him in any way he needs. He is the only one I have experience with however I’m a quick study. I’m also a very good listener so whatever you tell me, I will apply to my work. For household services, I grew up going to clean houses with my mom. I’d go almost every day after school to help her. I have no problem cleaning places we all dread. If you give me a time limit, I will make sure to have it done before that time!

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
