I love kids and the potent love and curiosity they have for the world. I've been trusted with neighbors', friends' and strangers' children and pets for 10 years. I'm certified in infant and adult first aid/CPR (up to date). I have some experience with infants. I'm a kind, creative person and I have a lot of patience and imagination when it comes to helping children navigate the ups and downs of a day in our crazy world. I also love pets and am happy to care for animals. I also have experience as a companion for seniors (mostly family in my case) and am happy to provide that service.

Booked by 4 families in Hawthorne, CA

Hi my name is Celeste and I received my bachelors in Elementary and Special Education at Grand Canyon University. I’m fully bilingual and I’m really passionate about making an impact on children and helping them grow. I have many years of childcare experience, including four years in elementary school settings. My specialized skills are in special education, caregiving infant, toddlers, and elementary school children and specialized tutoring in Spanish, but have worked with all ages. I’m allergic to cats, but would be ecstatic to work with families with dogs and willing to cook, clean and run errands.

Celeste did a great job when I needed a last-minute sitter for my eight-year-old. I’m always very reluctant to hire last-minute sitters, but she made us feel right at ease from the beginning. She was attentive, and my son really liked her. She’s also an awesome person. My sisters and I really enjoyed talking to her while we were getting ready for our night out!

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
