I have 24 years of experience taking care of children. Love working with children seeing them grow and shine. I believe every child learns differently depending on what they like and personality. I'm creative love doing art projects, playing using imagination and always learning with everything they do. I'm patient and outgoing, enjoy playing sports. I have been a second mom but also a teacher. I'm fun, responsible, compassionate and caring. I have worked with multiple kids at once. I have experienced caring newborns, toddlers, preteens and teenagers. I enjoy animals (have some of my own). As a mom and a nanny, I treat the kids how I want my own kids to be treated. I treat kids as my own. I can also help with Light Housekeeping and family assistance. I love to be organized.

I am delighted to provide a glowing reference for Celina, my five-year old son’s exceptional nanny. As our family prepares to relocate from Palo Alto to New York, it is with a heavy heart that we bid farewell to Celina, who truly embodies the essence of an outstanding caregiver. Celina’s devotion to her role is unwavering. She approaches her job with boundless love and warmth, treating our son as if he were her own. Her reliability is unmatched; she consistently arrives on time in the mornings and ensures our son is punctually engaged in his activities. Not once has she left us in a lurch. Her responsibilities extend far beyond the ordinary. Celina oversees every aspect of our son’s care: from preparing his meals to shuttling him to and from school and extracurricular activities. She orchestrates playdates, fosters a delightful playgroup at the local playground, and ensures our son’s room and toys remain impeccably organized. Even during his school hours, Celina remains proactive, assisting around the house and efficiently managing family errands. Celina’s sense of humor and sociability are contagious. Rather than merely observing our son at play with others, she actively engages with him, creating an environment of joy and laughter. Their bond is evident, and their shared moments are filled with fun and delight. I see how she’s helped my son grow, as he’s become more confident, curious and kind under her care. She has created a wonderful community of other children and caregivers for him, which I’ve been fortunate enough to participate in on occasion. We will miss Celina dearly, and any family fortunate enough to have her as their nanny in the future is truly blessed. Her dedication, warmth, and genuine care have left an indelible mark on our hearts.
