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.

Hi, I’m Claudia. I’ve been a babysitter on and off throughout my college career. I consider babysitting to be very rewarding. I enjoy spending time with kids and they always puts a smile on my face. It is great to know I can make a difference in a kid’s life, as well as it gives me the opportunity to gain experience in my field. I acquired my bachelor’s degree in psychology. I have my DCF 40 clock hours as well as First Aid/CPR certification. I have experience as a Preschool teacher working with kids 1-5 yrs of age, but mainly focusing on 1yr olds.

Fast responder, was very reliable and she took care of our newborn and our 2-year-old seamlessly. Thank you so much!

I am a loving and energetic nanny with 15+ years of nanny, certified newborn care specialist, daycare, and babysitting experience. I have worked as both a live-out and live-in nanny. **I am currently seeking only temporary/short term work (ie date nights, nanny coverage, etc.)** Taking care of children is my passion and though I’m good with all ages, I particularly love working with newborns, up to early school aged children. I’m well versed in milestones for social, fine and gross motor, cognitive, physical, and emotional skill development and work with my children to reach them. I have also potty trained the children in my primary previous family. I’m CPR and First Aid trained, a nonsmoker, and have a valid driver’s license. I place a strong emphasis on education, but believe in a holistic approach and include dancing, yoga, meditation, singing/music, arts and crafts, science, and acting in my child care. I love to do extra things for my families, including walking dogs (I love animals!), setting appointments for the child(ren) and dogs, date nights, etc. I have excellent communication skills and have great rapports with my previous families, in part, due to our open and honest dialogues. I am flexible and highly adaptable to accommodate my families when changes arise. References available.

Ashely was spectacular. I don't think I can fully articulate how incredible she was because I might miss things. She set the standard for what I expect from a nanny. Ashley worked with us for three weeks. She was always punctual, stayed late if she could, and was highly communicative and conscientious. Our daughter adored her and thrived under her care. I would have hired her as our full-time nanny without hesitation if Ashley wasn't moving away from DC. She took a tremendous amount of initiative, not just being a caregiver for our child but also helping around the house - one day, she randomly cleaned our stove when our daughter was sleeping. Our daughter talked about her for weeks after she left. I would recommend Ashley to anyone without hesitation.
