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

Danielle K., Babysitter in Portsmouth, NH 03801 with 12 years of paid experience

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!

Kathleen G., Babysitter in Portsmouth, NH 03801 with 19 years of paid experience

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.

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!

Ava I., Babysitter in Portsmouth, NH 03801 with 4 years of paid experience

I have a lot of experience with babysitting from ages <1 year to around 12 years old! I have also had experience with tutoring kids around the 9-13 years old which gives me good experience to help with homework, etc. I am a freshman in the College of General Studies at Boston University and am looking for some part time work on weekends or possibly one weekday (around 5-6 hrs a week). I recently had a gap semester where I spent most of it (32 hrs a week) nannying for two different families (one boy - 1 y/o and the other family 2 girls - 2 and 4 y/o) and I really grew to love the work and the kids so much so I’m hoping to find that here as well! I love working with kids and really enjoy the work I have been able to do with them in the past which makes me very hardworking on the job and fun for the kids!
