CELESTE 2 reviews
$20 per hour for 1 child

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.”

"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!"
