Find experienced babysitters in Waterville, ME

I love working with children because every day brings a new discovery for them. As a retired educator, I miss watching their faces as they master a new skill, experience a new activity, and use their creativity to make something extraordinary out of simple objects. I am also a grandmother to six grandchildren, though most of them are grown or live in the South. I would welcome the opportunity to bring my passion and experience to caring for your children.

My name is Ainsley Burke, and I’m excited to offer my babysitting services. I’m currently a junior in college, where I play collegiate lacrosse and am pursuing my passion for finance with an internship at an Investment Bank this summer I've been babysitting for close family friends for years and absolutely love spending time with kids. Whether it's playing games, reading stories, or baking some delicious treats together, I always strive to create a fun and safe environment. In my free time, I love the beach or swimming in a pool. I look forward to the opportunity to meet your family and provide a caring, engaging, and reliable babysitting experience

Hi! I’m Gwyn, and I just recently relocated from Maine to Vermont. I am CPR certified! I am looking to get back into childcare. I have extensive experience working with children. I started at a daycare with ages 3 months to 4 years. I mostly worked in the preschool room where I ensured safety by supervising the kids, cleaned the space, and assisted with meal preparation. I also changed diapers and made sure the kids got their nap in during the specified time. I also worked at an after school program with ages preschool to 7th grade. This is where I was able to use my creativity to ensure a fun experience for the kids. I initiated a tie dye festival with t-shirts, and we had a mini duck scavenger hunt on the playground! We worked on lots of conflict resolution with peers. Some of my favorite memories there was the relationships I was able to build with the kids there, whether it was bonding on the swing sets, singing Taylor Swift, or making slime. Another place I have worked was the YMCA summer camp. I had a class of about 30 2nd graders. Part of the job was doing attendance regularly to ensure every child is accounted for. I created a way to incentivize good behavior and kindness towards peers by creating Lucky Duck. This is where if a child shows good or kind behavior, they were given a slip to write their name on, which would then be put into a jar. Every morning, I would pick a name out of the jar, and they would get a mini duck to keep, and get to be line leader, or carry the cooler (which they loved!) This was super helpful because we were able to incentivize being kind and respectful rather than punishing them when were not being kind or respectful. It also prevented conflicts about who was line leader or bring the cooler for us. Another part of the job was making sure we got the kids to the next activity on time. One of the activities was swim time, where we brought the kids down to the pool outside and they had the chance to swim for a couple of hours. I did so much more at these jobs, but these are just some of my favorites that I chose to highlight. I love childcare because I truly believe that the experiences you have as a child shape you into who you are as an adult, and I want to be that positive impact! Please feel free to reach out to me! I can’t wait to meet you and your kiddos!
