Oriah M., Babysitter in Portsmouth, NH 03801 with 7 years of paid experience

Hi my name is Oriah and I am very passionate about kids. I love kids of all ages but especially love babies. I have recently graduated from UNH with a degree in Human Development & Family Studies and a minor in Anthropology. I have an array of experiences working with children. I have newborn experience, and have had long term nanny positions with multiple families. I also have experience working at a preschool. I am patient, energetic and goofy. I love art and being creative as well as the outdoors. I think it is extremely important for children to develop a loving relationship with nature and the outdoors. I think the most important factor for a babysitter and a family is to have open communication. I hope you consider hiring me as your babysitter because I truly enjoy working with children. Please message me if you need help! I am currently looking for 25-30 hours a week this Spring/Summer

I live in South Berwick, Maine. I worked full time at a childcare in York for the past 11 years. I just recently switched jobs to become a nanny. I currently work part time for two different families. Starting in mid November I will have availability for nannying two days a week. I have no children myself, but I love kids and I love spending time with them. I have been working with children for about 15 years both as a babysitter and in a child care setting. I have worked with children between the ages of 6 weeks and 12 years. I am both CPR and First Aid certified. I also have my CDA.

Aimee B., Babysitter in Portsmouth, NH 03801 with 3 years of paid experience

Hi there! My name is Aimee and I am 26 years old. I began my childcare experience working at Miss Joanna’s Daycare, where I often cared for a dozen children at a time. During my time there, I learned valuable lessons in multitasking and conflict resolution, but most importantly I learned the joy of working with children and helping them grow! I’ve worked babysitting and part time nanny jobs over the years, and am looking to return to it as I’ve been missing the value and connection that caring for children offers!

Eve H., Babysitter in Portsmouth, NH 03801 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Eve, and I’m currently a sophomore at UNH. I am looking for a babysitting position. I’ve been working with kids since I was 15 at a summer camp and babysitting here and there in between, so I have lots of experience with kids of all ages. When I’m home during school breaks I work at a daycare so I would love to continue working with kids while at college! I also have plenty of experience house-sitting and pet-sitting, and I’m comfortable with all animals (no allergies!). I’m responsible, reliable, and I’d love to find a great family to work with while I’m at school!

Erin C., Babysitter in Portsmouth, NH 03801 with 15 years of paid experience

I started working as a nanny in 2013 while I was earning my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and Care at Bridgewater State University. I have 10+ years of professional childcare experience working in both private families homes, and as a teacher in various classrooms. I taught toddlers for 5 years at Wellan Montessori School before shifting back to nannying in 2022. The last family I nannied for had twin 3 month olds who I cared for full-time until they were 1.5 years old. I have a passion for social-emotional development, and implement Mindfulness teaching practices to foster secure relationships with the little ones I care for. I love reading, being outside, doing yoga and having dance parties with kiddos! I am currently looking for occasional & part-time babysitting/nannying gigs. Please reach out if you think I'd be a good fit to work with your family!

Aubrey S., Babysitter in Portsmouth, NH 03801 with 8 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Aubrey. I just moved back to the New Hampshire area from Key West in June. I have 8+ years of experience in childcare/caregiving. I am a fun-loving, compassionate and creative person. I work part-time as a nanny for a lovely family in Exeter, and would like to find a couple more hours in the morning and at night to fill in my schedule! I’m currently available weekday mornings 7-9am and weekday nights 6-11pm. I always ensure that everyone I care for feels important and heard. I am very attentive and patient, and I make every experience memorable! I enjoy the arts, so I am always having the kids involved in projects and crafts. We usually listen to music while we play. We are constantly dancing, singing and laughing. I have many positive references and they will be furnished upon request.

Emma D., Babysitter in Portsmouth, NH 03801 with 4 years of paid experience

Hi! I have worked in various different classrooms and other babysitting jobs! - I had so many lovely minis that would rely on me to help them understand their homework, help them with their hair , show me their art work and project from class and of course you cannot forget the piggyback rides! ! I have also worked with baby’s who are just hitting milestones - tummy time is always fun ! Helping them step a couple steps never gets old ! And just I love the routines babies have ! Play, eat , sleep and grow up strong and smart ! Keeping that in mind I adore toddlers ! And previous twin toddlers I helped take care of really won my heart over ! Soo smart soo strong already but soo little ! I have experience with difficult kids as well ! And I always use redirection or sometimes they just want someone to understand them ! So with autism and other behavioral issues I am comfortable ! Older kids seem to get along great with me and usually don’t mind having me around anyways ! I can help them with their homework as well and also keep track of where they are going and keeping them out of trouble haha! I know you as parents work hard and just want to come home to your littles- so I don’t mind helping cleaning up or whatever you guys need to be comfortable when you get home !
