Find experienced babysitters in Shapleigh, ME

I grew up in Illinois but recently moved out to Maine. I used to work for Presence Marketing as the National Senior Data Lead for 10 years but got laid off during COVID. Before moving out to Maine I completed my general education courses at Harper College in Illinois to graduate as a science major. My ultimate goal is to move forward and become an ultrasound technician. Looking back, my greatest achievement in high school was volunteering for a program called Best Buddies. We worked with students who had mental disabilities, and I personally worked one on one with a student who was mute. In the end, I believe he taught me more in those 3 years than I could ever teach him. I’ve been babysitting on and off for about 12 years, but my favorite experience by far was babysitting twins (a boy & a girl) for a little over a year and a half. When I first started the twins were only a couple of months old, so it was definitely a learning curve but extremely rewarding in the end. I grew very close with the family but unfortunately had to leave for my job opportunity. I’m CPR & first aid certified. If you have any questions or need references, please feel free to reach out!

I am a preschool paraeducator who would love to provide a fun, safe, and peaceful childcare experience for your family! I have been a mother for nineteen years and have four children ranging from elementary school to a high school graduate. I am an active person and I love the outdoors. For the past year, I have had the opportunity to work as a teaching assistant with our school district's preschool program. I work with children ages 3 to 5, and have experience with group and individual instruction as well as supervision. I am CPR certified and have a Maine DOE background check and Ed Tech 3 certification. I have extensive volunteer experience working with children and teenagers through our local church. I spent four years working as a music leader with children ages 18 months to 12 years. I also taught Sunday school to children ages 7 and 8 for six months, and to teenagers ages 13 to 15 for three years. I have a bachelor's degree in Italian and have a functional understanding of Spanish. My own children are bright, kind, and respectful. My two oldest children are members of Mensa, and three of my children participate in our school district's gifted and talented program. All my children are musically talented, and my oldest two have participated for multiple years in honors band festivals. My children all participate in volunteer service opportunities with our church and community. I believe that the best experiences children can have are not found on screens. I believe in exploration, interaction, and conversation as the foundation of childhood learning and healthy emotional growth. I believe in helping children acknowledge and navigate strong emotions to help them make healthy choices in their actions and words. I strongly believe in the importance of musical education, and to that end, I play three instruments and sing in a choir. I am comfortable singing lullabies and listening to age appropriate music as requested. I work a second job as a housecleaner and have extensive experience in caring for cats, chickens, snakes, fish, and small mammals. I am comfortable with all pets, from large dogs to tarantulas. I do not smoke, drink, or use inappropriate language. I am a meticulously organized person in my personal and professional life. My most available time is between 8:30am and 4pm during the summer.

Hi, my name is Ali Machinski and I have been working with children since I was a child myself. I grew up in a daycare and my love for kids began there. I’ve been a nanny for a family of three, worked 5 years as a counselor, sub teacher, and many other tasks within that position as well as running an infant classroom. Infants personally have my heart and I am a college student who is on the nursing track to become a postpartum/labor and delivery nurse.

I am a fourth and fifth grade looping teacher finishing my eleventh year of teaching. I am also currently working towards a master’s degree in special education at the University of Southern Maine. Though I have only taught elementary students, I have experience with many age groups. I nannied two children from ages 4 months to 4 years when I was in college. I am still very close with the family and they would be happy to give a reference. I also worked in the childcare and sports departments at the Old Town-Orono YMCA during college with many different age groups.

I’ve worked with children and adults of all ages and find that sharing creative play and activities builds strong relationships. I am a mom, with a grown up son. I enjoy nature, learning, music, crafting and writing. I’ve been successful with book clubs with special needs adults, and with teaching healthy cooking and movement along with mindful meditation. Through my professional years, I’ve been and am certified in first aid/cpr. I have worked in behavioral health services for both children and adults. Please contact me if you feel I would be a good fit for your family
