Hi, there, My name is Caroline, and I'm looking for opportunities in Greater Portland to apply my 10 years of babysitting and nannying experience to caring for children and early teens. Highlights of my nannying "career" include caring for a family of four children daily for three years, from 2011-2013, and providing after-school care for a fifth grader and an eighth grader for a year. I'm skilled at providing homework help, facilitating basic needs care, like arranging mealtimes, maintaining tidy surroundings, changing diapers, playing in groups, setting down for naps. I'm also eager to provide homework help, and other resources to older children needing supervision. As a former writer with the Portland Phoenix, and a recent college graduate with two bachelor's degrees in Sociology and in Women & Gender Studies from the University of Southern Maine, I'm eager to apply my excellent communications skills to caring for families, but also Read more to helping children develop at whatever stage they may be. I genuinely enjoy caring for children, and have always found caregiving a rewarding refuge from working environments where children may be absent. I'm at an exciting time in my life where I'd like to begin working with kids again, and to forge the connections similar to those I've developed with families, and continue to curate with them.
