Maria Celeste is an incredible nanny who worked for us for over 12 months and we are now relocating overseas. We would have loved her to come but alas she can’t!! She has looked after our now 2 and 4 year old. She has been absolutely amazing for our family- with the right balance between being warm, kind and disciplined. Particularly through lockdown she was brilliant at keeping the kids entertained and mentally stimulated at home. The kids adore her and also have developed a lot under her care, responding well to the routine, eating well, and behaving well. She is an asset to any family and we will all miss her greatly.

Celeste has looked after our 3 small children for the past year for 3 days a week. She has been absolutely extraordinary and we can't believe how lucky we are to have her in our lives. She is incredibly kind and loving towards the children, who all adore her. She is constantly thinking of new activities to interest them and stimulate their development. As parents, we find her highly professional - she is 100% reliable, always punctual and unbelievably organised. She is a brilliant communicator with both adults and children. She is always smiling, positive and calm. We never cease to be amazed when we come home every day to find calm, well-behaved children and the flat looking immaculate - this never happens when we are looking after them! We are devastated to lose Celeste as our nanny (this is due to our relocation - sadly we have not been able to persuade her to come with us but we have all tried!). Any family would be extraordinarily lucky to have her in their lives.

We have known Celeste since 2016 when she started as our nanny for our son and daughter who were both 1 and 4 at the time. When I stopped work, Celeste continued to work for us as babysitter and still does now.
The children adore her and always look forward to her coming. She is very engaging with them. The best thing is you don’t have to worry about anything when you leave, Celeste is really experienced. Everything is taken care of and Celeste is always thinking ahead about what the children need.
I’d say she is great with all ages from babies to older children always finding activities that match their interests and helps them develop.
We would highly recommend Celeste to any family.
