Find experienced babysitters in Portland, ME

Hello! I am an experienced caregiver who has participated in childcare for over 22 years as a nanny, babysitter, and in center based environments. I have experience with infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school aged kiddos; I have cared for children up to age 16. I have done numerous overnights for families, so I have experience with that! I put emphasis on learning through play, and, being a nature lover, try to find ways to incorporate nature in our activities. When with your child, we can sing, read, dance, do art projects, listen to music, go for walks, and take field trips to farms, the museum, playgrounds, and other fun places. I have taken child development classes, so I am pretty aware of where kids are developmentally. Respecting others is important to me, so I try to find teachable moments to convey this. I am first aid/CPR certified. I have reliable transportation, and consider myself to be very reliable as well. I am looking to work in Portland, or within 25 miles of it. I am also fully vaccinated and boosted.

Hi! Do you need a nanny who is experienced with infants? Do you want peace of mind with your first child? I’d love to help. For starters, I can babywear, purée food, handle washing cloth diapers, take stroller walks, read books, sing lullabies, and rock to sleep. I believe play-based learning helps children develop crucial skills, and keeps them active and inquisitive. If you want a crunchy/ granola nanny, let’s chat.

Hi! My name is Emma, and caring for children has been a big part of my life for over 13 years. In addition to babysitting, I've spent the past 6 years as an elementary school teacher, where I've had the privilege of helping children learn, grow, and build confidence every day. I'm currently preparing to start law school, but I still love working with children and families. I truly enjoy getting to know each child's unique personality, whether we're reading books, doing crafts, playing outside, helping with homework, or just having fun together. My teaching background also allows me to provide tutoring and academic support in a way that's encouraging and engaging. I'm happy to help make life a little easier by preparing meals, assisting with light housekeeping, and keeping routines running smoothly. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your children, and I strive to provide the same care, patience, and attention that I would want for my own family. I look forward to meeting your family and creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where your children feel comfortable, supported, and excited to learn and play!
