Oriah M.
- 7 years paid experience

Hi my name is Oriah and I am very passionate about kids. I love kids of all ages but especially love babies. I have recently graduated from UNH with a degree in Human Development & Family Studies and a minor in Anthropology. I have an array of experiences working with children. I have newborn experience, and have had long term nanny positions with multiple families. I also have experience working at a preschool. I am patient, energetic and goofy. I love art and being creative as well as the outdoors. I think it is extremely important for children to develop a loving relationship with nature and the outdoors. I think the most important factor for a babysitter and a family is to have open communication. I hope you consider hiring me as your babysitter because I truly enjoy working with children. Please message me if you need help! I am currently looking for 25-30 hours a week this Spring/Summer

Oriah was wonderful. Prompt and communicative, asked thoughtful and thorough questions about our daughter's care. Our daughter took to her immediately and we felt very confident with her care while we were out. We would not hesitate to use Oriah again.

Rita did a fabulous job caring for our 7 month old while we were visiting Ogunquit, Maine. Rita communicated well with us leading up to and during the babysitting gig, and she was very playful and caring with our baby. We look forward to hiring Rita again for the next time we are visiting the area!

Shay spent two days sitting our 5 year old while we were in town for a wedding. She was incredible- thoughtful, anticipatory, engaging, and fun. Shay planned a full itinerary in downtown Portsmouth keeping our son entertained. Highly recommend Shay!

Hi! My name is Eve, and I’m currently a sophomore at UNH. I am looking for a babysitting position. I’ve been working with kids since I was 15 at a summer camp and babysitting here and there in between, so I have lots of experience with kids of all ages. When I’m home during school breaks I work at a daycare so I would love to continue working with kids while at college! I also have plenty of experience house-sitting and pet-sitting, and I’m comfortable with all animals (no allergies!). I’m responsible, reliable, and I’d love to find a great family to work with while I’m at school!

Sagia was nothing short of amazing! Highly recommend. She was able jump right in when my childcare fell through and keep my two year old entertained while I worked from home. My daughter had separation anxiety at first knowing I was in the next room but Sagia was able to calm her. By the end she was happy as a clam and giving Sagia hugs!

I have a lot of experience with babysitting from ages <1 year to around 12 years old! I have also had experience with tutoring kids around the 9-13 years old which gives me good experience to help with homework, etc. I am a freshman in the College of General Studies at Boston University and am looking for some part time work on weekends or possibly one weekday (around 5-6 hrs a week). I recently had a gap semester where I spent most of it (32 hrs a week) nannying for two different families (one boy - 1 y/o and the other family 2 girls - 2 and 4 y/o) and I really grew to love the work and the kids so much so I’m hoping to find that here as well! I love working with kids and really enjoy the work I have been able to do with them in the past which makes me very hardworking on the job and fun for the kids!

Kathleen was wonderful in providing care to our infant and our friends' infant, while we were in town for a wedding. Kathleen was warm, communicative, and gave us full confidence to go out and enjoy our evenings with the babies well taken care of. Would definitely work with Kathleen again!

Hi everyone! My name is Kyra, (Keira) and I’m 23 years old (24 soon!). My partner and I recently purchased our first home in New Durham, and I’m so excited to become part of this community and connect with local families! I have several years of professional childcare experience, including working in a daycare/preschool setting with children ranging from just 6 weeks old through age 6. During my time in childcare centers, I helped with daily routines, developmental activities, lesson planning, circle time, arts & crafts, outdoor play, and creating a nurturing environment where children felt safe, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. For the past 2+ years, I’ve also been a full-time nanny for two wonderful young boys, which has given me extensive hands-on experience with infant and toddler care, emotional development, behavior guidance, meal prep, outings, learning-through-play, and maintaining a structured but loving routine. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, dependable, patient, creative, and truly passionate about working with children. I love planning engaging activities, spending time outdoors, encouraging imagination and independence, and becoming a trusted, reliable support system for families. I’m also comfortable helping with light housekeeping, children’s laundry, meal prep, transportation, pet care, errands, and helping keep the household running smoothly. Some bonus things about me! I am a dual licensed hairdresser and barber. I make my own music and play multiple instruments, I am very hands-on and crafty, and love exploring, and finding new things to do!

Hello! My name is Aubrey. I just moved back to the New Hampshire area from Key West in June. I have 8+ years of experience in childcare/caregiving. I am a fun-loving, compassionate and creative person. I work part-time as a nanny for a lovely family in Exeter, and would like to find a couple more hours in the morning and at night to fill in my schedule! I’m currently available weekday mornings 7-9am and weekday nights 6-11pm. I always ensure that everyone I care for feels important and heard. I am very attentive and patient, and I make every experience memorable! I enjoy the arts, so I am always having the kids involved in projects and crafts. We usually listen to music while we play. We are constantly dancing, singing and laughing. I have many positive references and they will be furnished upon request.

Over the past seven years, I've gained extensive babysitting experience, caring for children ranging from infants to preteens. I've developed a keen understanding of each child's unique needs and preferences, ensuring a safe and nurturing environment. My responsibilities have included meal preparation, bedtime routines, and engaging in age-appropriate activities to foster creativity and learning. I prioritize open communication with parents to provide updates on the child's well-being and address any concerns promptly. My commitment to creating a positive and enjoyable experience for both the children and their families has been a cornerstone of my babysitting approach.
