Oriah M.
- 7 years paid experience
- 10 miles
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.

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!

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 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 rising junior at Boston University studying neuroscience and am looking for some part time work. 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!

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!

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!

As a caregiver, my passion lies in nurturing children's growth and development, with 5 years of experience in caring for kids of various ages. I am patient, calm, and friendly, and believe in open communication with parents. I follow their lead regarding household rules and prefer their preferred method of communication. I enjoy playing educational games with children and am comfortable caring for up to four children at a time. I have completed some college and have taken early childhood development courses, as well as First Aid and CPR training.

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 !
