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!
