Find experienced babysitters in Cumberland, ME

Hello! I am an experienced caregiver who has participated in childcare for over 22 years as a nanny, babysitter, and in center based environments. I have experience with infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school aged kiddos; I have cared for children up to age 16. I have done numerous overnights for families, so I have experience with that! I put emphasis on learning through play, and, being a nature lover, try to find ways to incorporate nature in our activities. When with your child, we can sing, read, dance, do art projects, listen to music, go for walks, and take field trips to farms, the museum, playgrounds, and other fun places. I have taken child development classes, so I am pretty aware of where kids are developmentally. Respecting others is important to me, so I try to find teachable moments to convey this. I am first aid/CPR certified. I have reliable transportation, and consider myself to be very reliable as well. I am looking to work in Portland, or within 25 miles of it. I am also fully vaccinated and boosted.

Hi, My name is Bella, and I would love to get to know you and your children! I grew up with 5 siblings, so I love running around with the kids. As an older sister, I quickly learned how to be responsible and tough while still being fun and interactive. I also have experience being a camp counselor, so I know of lots of fun activities, both indoors and outdoors! I currently own 2 cats, and I grew up with dogs, so I am familiar with animals as well. I think it's very important for children to be comfortable with their babysitter, so please feel free to reach out and ask me any questions you have about me.

Hello! My name is Katherine Clancy, and I'm 22, almost 23 years old living in North Yarmouth. I just finished my first year of graduate school for Communication Sciences and Disorders (Speech Pathology) and am looking for a summer job. I have many years of experience working with kids of all ages through coaching soccer, becoming a behavioral health professional, becoming a nanny for 2 families, nursing aid, and also a childcare associate. At my behavioral health professional job, I provided the students, ages 3-6, with support and direction, helping them get through their day, taught different types of learning, consisting of sight words, prepositions, peer play, following direction tasks, behavior management, coping skills, and appropriate communication. I also created a friendly, comfortable environment for them to feel welcomed and supported throughout their day. Similarly, working as a nanny for two families, I watched after and provided care for an infant and toddler, and provided care for a 3-month-old for the other family. I created age-appropriate activities for mental and physical stimulation. I also completed housekeeping duties of preparing milk/formula, cleaning dishes/bottles, laundry, and picking up around the house. As a soccer coach, I coached ages 3-15, around 8-15 kids, teaching soccer techniques, drills, foot skills, good sportsmanship, and teamwork. As a nursing aid, I worked in a health and rehabilitation center for older adults but I learned many valuable things that help my ability to be a great babysitter such as providing all residents with everyday care and support, making sure all their needs were met, creating a warm, safe environment for all residents to feel at home and comfortable by showing kindness, compassion, and individual service to each resident’s own needs, and providing all residents with bathing, grooming, dressing, and feeding as well as transferring and changing linens. During my first year of graduate school I worked with 6 clients of all different ages, providing supervised speech therapy. Specifically I provided therapy and support to individuals with communication disorders, evaluated clients' communication skills and identifying specific areas of need, developed individualized treatment goals and strategies, documented assessment findings and treatment progress and educated and supporting families about their child's communication needs. Overall I love working with kids and have lots of experience! Thanks!
