I moved from Minnesota to Nashville in June of 2012. I have worked for people through the Sittercity connection since living in Bellevue. Chloe will attest to my excellent connection to her child, should you pursue references. I have raised four of my own and have seven years experience working at a kindergarten center (KC) -- before and after school day care. The KC staffed at 1 caregiver per 10 children. I am a prolific and engaging story teller, reader and game player. I like to teach children skill-based games that enhance their ability to strategise, teaching them math, and showing them how to win or lose graciously. While your children are in my care I endeavor to teach the "golden rule" and positive morals such as not cheating, stealing or lying. I have just had my first children's book published that I also illustrated. It is called "Naughty Nelly" by Celeste Beyer. You can go to You tube and plug in Read more the book for a preview! I am willing to travel domestically, or internationally, and possess a current passport. I am willing to spend the night for several days at a time if need be. I now live in Colorado Spring near the Costco on Barnes.

Celeste worked for me Jan-July 2014, providing after school care and occasional sick day/school break coverage for my 7 and 11 year old boys. She has been a fantastic support, always on time and very communicative about any activities (good or bad) that my boys got into. She's energetic, creative, will even bring her own games to play with the kids. I appreciate that she understands the structure and boundaries kids need but always delivers her messages with a smile and good humor. She will not let the boys put anything over her (much to their dismay) and will enforce the house rules (again, much to my boys' dismay.) My project wrapped up and I no longer needed the after school support but I still use her whenever something comes up. When my work load increases again, I would definitely hire her back (if someone else doesn't snap her up before then!)

Celeste has babysat for my son on a number of occasions starting when he was about 9 months old (now he is 14 months). She is absolutely great with him-is very attentive and actively engages him and he thinks she is a ton of fun. She is also extremely flexible and reliable. She has helped me out in times of short notice and last-minute changes and is always on time. She is extremely warm and caring and has a lot of experience with kids, both through being a mother of four girls and having babysat for years. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for help in the Nashville area!
