Rita did a fabulous job caring for our 7 month old while we were visiting Ogunquit, Maine. Rita communicated well with us leading up to and during the babysitting gig, and she was very playful and caring with our baby. We look forward to hiring Rita again for the next time we are visiting the area!

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

Oriah was wonderful. Prompt and communicative, asked thoughtful and thorough questions about our daughter's care. Our daughter took to her immediately and we felt very confident with her care while we were out. We would not hesitate to use Oriah again.

Sagia was nothing short of amazing! Highly recommend. She was able jump right in when my childcare fell through and keep my two year old entertained while I worked from home. My daughter had separation anxiety at first knowing I was in the next room but Sagia was able to calm her. By the end she was happy as a clam and giving Sagia hugs!

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.

Kathleen was wonderful in providing care to our infant and our friends' infant, while we were in town for a wedding. Kathleen was warm, communicative, and gave us full confidence to go out and enjoy our evenings with the babies well taken care of. Would definitely work with Kathleen again!

Shay spent two days sitting our 5 year old while we were in town for a wedding. She was incredible- thoughtful, anticipatory, engaging, and fun. Shay planned a full itinerary in downtown Portsmouth keeping our son entertained. Highly recommend Shay!

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!

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!
