Hi, l'm a mom of 4 who now has all grown children. I ran my own daycare for awhile while my children were young. I was trained in childcare through the department of defense and have had extensive background checks through the military due to running a daycare facility on base housing when my children were little. I have also been a nanny for a family and I have had my own home daycare as well. I have worked with children of all ages.

Parents NEED Breaks! Schedules get full and there's a lot to juggle. Having safe, skilled childcare when you have to work is a necessity and you know you need a date night soon!!!! I have many years of experience caring for children and I also am a pediatric Occupational Therapist. I am currently not practicing because I am a homeschool mom of 3 rambunctious ones of my own!! (This includes twins so if you have twins, I'm your lady!)  I am frequently available to provide childcare evenings and weekends, as well as overnights. Daytime availability is variable, as it needs to include my kids (sometimes, but not always), so let's talk about what you need! I am comfortable with all ages and levels of needs. Very comfortable with children with physical disabilities, autism and have experience and/or knowledge about quite a few medical conditions. Willing to learn anything needed to care for your kids! I have a lot of experience caring for children at weddings, reunions and other special events. Coming from out of town and need a safe, reliable caregiver (with references)? contact me! When I care for your children they have my full attention! I am comfortable with following your routine and style of discipline and can manage baths, bedtime routines, meal prep, household chores, etc. My rates are flexible! My hourly rate is 15-20 per hour, depending on the number of children and level of responsibility. Also totally flexible about pay and will consider jobs with a flat rate for a day or a little less per hour than listed above.

I truly love being a babysitter because it allows me to make a meaningful difference in children’s lives while supporting busy families in their day-to-day routines. Caring for children isn’t just a job to me—it’s something I’m deeply passionate about. I enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where kids can grow, learn, and feel supported. I bring a wide range of skills to my role, including meal preparation, school drop-offs and pick-ups, and managing appointments. I’m also experienced with light housekeeping, helping keep the home organized and running smoothly. I take pride in being dependable and trustworthy, so families can feel confident knowing their children are in good hands. My personality is energetic, positive, and engaging. I love staying active with children, whether it’s through play, learning activities, or simply spending quality time together. I’m highly reliable and always strive to be someone both parents and children can count on. Being a nanny gives me a sense of purpose, and I’m grateful to do work that I genuinely enjoy every day.

Hello! My name is Julia. I am 25 years old and currently live in Bath, Maine. I have extensive experience working with young children in a variety of roles, including as a summer camp supervisor, a long-term social-emotional-learning teacher with Lewiston Public Schools, and, most recently, as a Behavioral Health Professional with Lewiston Public Schools. I am also currently pursuing a Master's degree in School Counseling. In my role as a Behavioral Health Professional, I have gained valuable experience working with children with disabilities and supporting a wide range of behavioral and emotional needs. Because I work during the regular school year, I am seeking a consistent summer childcare position while school is out. Ideally, I am looking for a family that needs childcare on a set schedule from June through August. I am flexible with weekday hours and am available to start on June 24, although I can be flexible with the start date if needed.

Hi! I’ve been working with kids for several years, and even grew up in a daycare myself! I absolutely love children and get along nicely with them!! I’m currently a junior at UMF, studying counseling with the hope of becoming an elementary school guidance counselor some day!

Hi there. I am a recent grad of the University of Maine and am looking for part-time opportunities as a nanny or babysitter. I have a long history working with children which started in 2019 while I was finishing high school.

I prioritize the physical and emotional safety of every child I work with and always remain engaged and patient. I'm also an animal lover and am willing to help out around the house. Please reach out to me if you have any questions.

Hi! My name is Marielle, and I have been caring for children since I was around 12 years old.

I am CPR certified and very passionate about children’s health, safety, education, and overall well being. I love creating a positive, caring, and fun environment where kids feel comfortable and supported.

I love babysitting! I always helped my mom when she babysat and then started on my own in high school around 16. I have had my driver’s license for 5 years. I love sitting because I can form connections with the kids and make them smile. I am CPR and First Aid certified — I’m a Lifeguard and Nursing Assistant — also certified in infant CPR. In college, I babysit 2 twins and a toddler. I have experience with pre teens, infants, toddlers, and young children. I love going on walks, playing outside, and playing games with the kids. It’s a great side job to have, especially getting to know the kids!
