Meet Matthew

  • Comfortable with pets

Hi there! My name is Matthew, and I’m a dependable, compassionate caregiver with experience in family nannying, babysitting, daycare support, and Pre-K classroom assistance. Originally from Maine, I grew up as the fourth of five siblings, and caring for children has always been a natural part of my life. My background includes musical theatre, dance, yoga instruction, and wellness coaching, which helps me bring a creative, engaging, and thoughtful energy into childcare. I love creating an environment where kids feel safe, encouraged, and genuinely supported, whether we’re working on homework, doing imaginative activities, spending time outdoors, or simply making day-to-day routines feel positive and calm. I’m CPR, AED, and First Aid certified, have training in child safety and medication administration, and am comfortable working with children of many different personalities, abilities, and support needs, including neurodivergence and behavioral challenges. I also have a valid Maine driver’s license and reliable vehicle Read more for transportation to school, activities, and appointments when needed. Families often describe me as friendly, communicative, patient, reliable, and easy to work with. I value clear boundaries, consistency, and creating a respectful atmosphere where children can thrive while parents feel confident their kids are in safe hands. I’m also happy to help with healthy meals and snacks, light tidying and errands, pet care, and keeping the household running smoothly where appropriate. I have experience with children ranging from infants through teens and am most comfortable working with one or two children at a time (with an extra or two under special circumstances or for play dates). I currently have weekday availability, with occasional evenings, weekends, and overnights possible depending on scheduling. Outside of childcare, I enjoy reading, writing, performing arts, and spending quality time with friends and family. I’m proud to have built strong relationships with the families I’ve worked with and would be happy to provide glowing references upon request. Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my profile. I’d love the opportunity to connect and see whether I might be a good fit for your family! -Matthew
