Find experienced babysitters in Winthrop, ME

Hi families! My name is Claudia and I live in midcoast Maine. I have a degree in Early Childhood Ed and Visual arts, and have been an after school art teacher teaching k-5 and a substitute teacher for this past year. I have 10 years experience in childcare including nannying, babysitting, teaching, daycare work, with kids from newborns-11 years old. I love making art with kids, crafts are my speciality and I'm a big believer in the benefits art has to all other developmental areas. I love playing games, reading together, music and song, taking walks into the community for libraries, parks, or playgrounds, and I'm excited to do all of this and more with your family!

I have been around children my whole life and have been working as a summer nanny from 2014-2016 as well as a daycare assistant for the summers of 2018-2020 with children ranging from 4months-11years. I also worked at an after-School program for a year while I attended Husson University in Bangor Maine, where I just graduated with a bachelors degree in Health Sciences. I’m currently working as an Ed Tech in an elementary school in Lewiston and going back to school online for my teaching degree. I love creating special bonds with each child I care for. I’m creative and arts and crafts loving. My biggest goal is to bring a smile to your child’s face.

Hi! My name is Marielle, and I have been caring for children since I was around 12 years old. Growing up, I helped raise my two younger brothers, which gave me a lot of hands on experience with kids of different ages and personalities. I also have experience babysitting and nannying for my stepdad’s sister’s children, ages 8, 4, and 2, and I am comfortable caring for multiple children at once while keeping them safe, entertained, and on schedule. I am CPR certified and very passionate about children’s health, safety, education, and overall well being. I love creating a positive, caring, and fun environment where kids feel comfortable and supported. I am dependable, patient, responsible, and always willing to help with daily routines, learning activities, meals, and playtime. While I do not currently have my own car, I do have reliable transportation.

Parents NEED Breaks! Schedules get full and there's a lot to juggle. Having safe, skilled childcare when you have to work is a necessity and you know you need a date night soon!!!! I have many years of experience caring for children and I also am a pediatric Occupational Therapist. I am currently not practicing because I am a homeschool mom of 3 rambunctious ones of my own!! (This includes twins so if you have twins, I'm your lady!)  I am frequently available to provide childcare evenings and weekends, as well as overnights. Daytime availability is variable, as it needs to include my kids (sometimes, but not always), so let's talk about what you need! I am comfortable with all ages and levels of needs. Very comfortable with children with physical disabilities, autism and have experience and/or knowledge about quite a few medical conditions. Willing to learn anything needed to care for your kids! I have a lot of experience caring for children at weddings, reunions and other special events. Coming from out of town and need a safe, reliable caregiver (with references)? contact me! When I care for your children they have my full attention! I am comfortable with following your routine and style of discipline and can manage baths, bedtime routines, meal prep, household chores, etc. My rates are flexible! My hourly rate is 15-20 per hour, depending on the number of children and level of responsibility. Also totally flexible about pay and will consider jobs with a flat rate for a day or a little less per hour than listed above.
