I will be finishing my 21st year as a second and third teacher. l graduated 9 years ago with my Master's in Education. I have had 20+ years of childcare experience. I have been a nanny or babysitter for over 20 years. I was a babysitter starting in high school and continued on the side until college. While in college I was a nanny through Beacon Hill Nannies and lived in New York as a live in nanny. The following summers I have been a nanny in Falmouth, Yarmouth, Cumberland, Cape Elizabeth,Freeport, Kennebunkport ,Scarborough and Boothbay Harbor. I have also done multiple nanny jobs in New York and throughout New England. I have been a nanny for children ages new born twins to twelve years old. I have great references as well. I currently have open availability for after-school care, school vacations, and date nights. I also will travel for weddings, events or ski resorts. I am currently starting to book traveling families for the 2026 calendar. I worked over 20 weddings in Maine the last five summers and worked for many families on vacation in hotels or homes they rented. I do have my calendar ready to start booking for next year if you know your vacation dates! I look forward to hearing from you!

We hired Aliza to be our wedding weekend nanny this past June. The first night was our rehearsal dinner and we just had Aliza get to know everyone. She did a great job of introducing herself to the parents as well as the kids. My nephew has Asperger's Syndrome and can be very challenging, especially around new people, new places and new situations. Aliza immediately connected with him and made him feel super special. We had a kids table set up with art supplies and kids activity books and Aliza was there to facilitate and oversee. She was super responsive, very professional and incredibly flexible offering to assist with anything else we might need over the course of the weekend. Everyone loved her. Thanks Aliza!

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, my name is Amresa. I am looking for some part time babysitting gigs! I used to teach fourth grade and I taught Pre-K for over 6 years! I love kids of all ages. I have been babysitting for about 15 years! My past babysitting/nanny duties have included- picking kids up from school, taking kids to extracurricular activities, making easy meals, bath and bedtime, and playing indoors and having outdoor adventures! I currently am available for evenings as I have a one year old daughter who I am with during the day. So if you need a date night sitter, feel free to reach out!!

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.

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!

Anne H., Babysitter in Durham, ME 04222 with 7 years of paid experience

lam originally from Maine/ Maryland and I just moved to Oregon for college to study Biology! I have babysat all throughout middle and high school and just finished my 3rd summer as a sleep away camp counselor! During the school year, when I'm not going to practice or rehearsal, I help coach a Girls on the Run team and a youth rugby team. From sophomore to senior year, I was a part of my high schools "Childhood Development" program. Under the supervision of a teacher, we planned lessons and taught preschoolers for a portion of our day. I have have just come back from my first year at college where I managed a local daycare part time! I love to cook and have lots of experience in the kitchen so whipping up a quick dinner is no problem at all! I have completed a "Safe Sitters" course with my local hospital and l am a lifeguard who is CPR, AED, and first aid trained. I am keen to spend lots of time outside, going for walks, to the beach, and (of course) building fairy houses!!

Elizabeth R., Babysitter in Durham, ME 04222 with 6 years of paid experience

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.
