Hello! My name is Celia, I've worked as babysitter/nanny for several years, and have experience with a wide range of children of various ages (4 months - 13 years). I've worked for families with both only children and multiple children, and have also worked as a personalized educator for a group of multiple families during their children's summer and winter breaks. My academic background is in literature, art, and child development. My professional background is in childhood education, care work, and art therapy. I love working with children, and find this work to be fulfilling, meaningful, and extremely important. I teach and care to promote a broad sense of wonder, joy, and possibility in lives of young people, as well as to create an environment of comfort and safety. I love to explore the natural world, arts, culture, and bring science and children's topics of interest into age-appropriate play and Read more projects, where their personal curiosities can be encouraged, explored, and fed. I've developed curriculum and activities that are fun, engaging, and thought provoking and am adept at adapting projects tailored to meet individual kids in their particular taste and interest. I have a car and driver's license, have taken CPR and first aid classes, and have experience working with infants (4+ months) toddlers, elementary and middle school aged kids. I am very comfortable with caring for babies who are on feeding and sleeping schedules, providing verbal and nonverbal care and comfort. I'm warm, alert, sensitive to children's explicit and implicit communications, engaged, energetic, imaginative, organized (love to keep places tidy and clean), and truly enjoy cooking and preparing meals and healthy snacks. I have a flexible and open schedule.
