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!

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.

Excited to spend my evenings and possible weekends with a wonderful family. Working with children brightens my days! I’m looking forward to connecting with more children outside of my classroom.

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.

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. In college I worked part-time at the Children's Dyslexia Center of Bangor, and more recently I worked as a Prevention Educator for one of Maine's Domestic Violence's Resource Centers. 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.

Hello families! I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to introduce myself. With a background in healthcare, I've had the privilege of caring for individuals across different age groups, from seniors to younger clients with intellectual disabilities. Prior to this, I spent my formative years watching over infants, a role I still cherish today, albeit without the state paycheck. What sets me apart is my unwavering dedication to my role as a sitter. I don't just see this as a job; I see it as a responsibility that can profoundly impact someone's life. I take great pride in providing compassionate care and ensuring the safety and well-being of those under my watch. It's not just about earning income for me; it's about making a positive difference in someone's life journey. I'm excited about the opportunity to bring my experience, passion, and commitment to your family. Let's create a nurturing and supportive environment together!

Hi! I’m a first grade teacher who truly loves working with young children. I spend my days helping little learners grow academically, socially, and emotionally. I have experience working with children ages 3–7 through both classroom teaching and tutoring. I’m especially comfortable supporting early learning skills like reading, writing, and foundational math, and I love finding fun, engaging ways to help kids build confidence. Families I work with can expect someone who is patient, reliable, and attentive. I value creating a warm, safe environment where children feel comfortable, have fun, and continue learning through play and curiosity. I’m also very comfortable around dogs and happy to be in homes with pets. Whether you’re looking for occasional childcare, a date-night sitter, or some extra academic support for your child, I’d love to connect!
