About Zien Celeste

Experience: 5 yrs

Hi, I'm Zien - but most call me Auntie Z or Z! I'm a calm and grounded caregiver with five years of experience supporting families with children ages 6 mths. to 14 yrs. My approach is gentle, intuitive, and joyful. I've worked as a nanny, doula, tutor, mentor, and youth culinary instructor, and I bring a blend of creativity and steadiness into each home. With a background in psychology, somatics, and conflict facilitation, I prioritize emotional safety alongside play and rhythm. Whether I'm guiding a bedtime routine, offering art-based activities, or simply being a consistent presence, I'm here to support your child's growth with care and integrity. About Zien (Z): I'm a Louisiana native with a vibrant background - a former farmer, neuroscientist, culinary artist - my work and art often blends science, storytelling, and nourishment into joyful learning. Fun facts: I enjoy swamps, decorating cakes with tons of edible glitter, and making scavenger hunts for everyday life.

Zien is such a gentle, playful and curious caregiver! We are foster parents, and Z has cared for our kids across ages and needs. I trust her fully and highly recommend her services.
