Hi, I’m Celia! I’m a nursing student at Marymount University and a member of the swim team. I’m also a certified lifeguard with CPR, AED, BLS, and First Aid certifications. I have a passion for working with children and have been babysitting since I was 12. Caring for others has always been second nature to me, and I love bringing energy, responsibility, and compassion to everything I do.

I'm so glad we met Celia! She's wonderful with my kiddo, communicative and flexible with me, and generally so caring and thoughtful! I'm very selective with who I leave my kid (3yo) with and I feel very confident and comfortable leaving them with Celia.

We were a little hesitant to leave our baby with anyone but family, but were thrilled to find Celia who we instantly felt comfortable with. She was mature and responsive and clearly an experienced sitter. Both our daughter and our high-energy dog were at ease with her right away, which made us feel better.

One of our favorite sitters. Always on time and great with babies and toddlers. My kids always look forward to seeing “ms Celia” which is a huge relief as a parent. Super knowledgeable about kids and recognizes when to flag any sickness or allergies if it arises.

We hired Celia twice now to babysit our 6 month old baby in the evening for date night and would definitely love to have her sit again in the future. She has a lot of experience, is trustworthy, and was warm and affectionate with our baby. When the baby woke up wailing after we had left, Celia patiently attended to her and rocked her back to sleep, all the while keeping us updated so we didn’t have to worry. We can’t recommend her highly enough!

Celia is wonderful - confident and competent with little ones! She was so helpful with my 6 month old son and I could tell she has great experience with caring for infants. She stuck to our schedule and kept me informed about what was happening with my baby which made me feel comfortable while she was watching him. After her first time watching my son, I booked with her again for several future dates and would again!

It's been a real pleasure to have Celia watch our 1-and-change-year-old. Her greatest strength is that being a nursing student, Celia is utterly unfazed by any situation, including sudden unexpected symptoms that spooked Mom+Dad. She stays calm, and knows exactly what to do. But equally important, Celia is delightful, and our kiddo always has a grand time with her! I can't recommend her highly enough.

Celia was great with our kids and they are already asking to have her come over again. Can’t recommend Celia enough!
