Noelle M., Babysitter in Portland, ME 04103 with 9 years of paid experience

I have been babysitting since 2014 and nannying since 2018. I have also been subbing for the past three years and I recently graduated with a bachelors degree in elementary education. I am a travel nanny in the summer for a family based out of NYC and during the school year I am teaching currently. Summer of 2021, I was a part-time nanny for a 14 month old girl where I had many responsibilities including putting her down for her nap, feeding her, and entertaining her for the duration of our day. I have learned a lot about working with babies and toddlers on things like motor skills, developmental milestones, and emotional understanding. For older children, I have learned many strategies pertaining to supplemental learning inside and outside of the classroom. I love going on adventures and making the best out of any situations, so rain or shine I can guarantee we will have a lot of fun!

With going on 4 + years of experience, I think it’s safe to say that I love spending time with kids. I’m here to provide them with a safe and fun caregiver so you guys can go out and get things done! Kids are so silly and I love learning all about their individual personalities. I’ve done childcare in almost all aspects, I coached gymnastics for 3 years, was a camp counselor, preschool substitute teacher, and as of more recently I am a nanny for a lovely family. I love keeping busy and having my schedule filled which is why I’ve come on here to find some more families to connect with! I am CPR certified and have taken a multitude of childhood education coursework and certification classes which I would be happy to provide you with! Again, I’m here to make you feel comfortable and to provide your kids with a safe and happy environment. Let me know if you think that I would fit the job and I would be more than happy to connect with you about this position! Thank you.
