I will be finishing my 21st year as a second and third teacher. l graduated 9 years ago with my Master's in Education. I have had 20+ years of childcare experience. I have been a nanny or babysitter for over 20 years. I was a babysitter starting in high school and continued on the side until college. While in college I was a nanny through Beacon Hill Nannies and lived in New York as a live in nanny. The following summers I have been a nanny in Falmouth, Yarmouth, Cumberland, Cape Elizabeth,Freeport, Kennebunkport ,Scarborough and Boothbay Harbor. I have also done multiple nanny jobs in New York and throughout New England. I have been a nanny for children ages new born twins to twelve years old. I have great references as well. I currently have open availability for after-school care, school vacations, and date nights. I also will travel for weddings, events or ski resorts. I am currently starting to book traveling families for the 2026 calendar. I worked over 20 weddings in Maine the last five summers and worked for many families on vacation in hotels or homes they rented. I do have my calendar ready to start booking for next year if you know your vacation dates! I look forward to hearing from you!

We hired Aliza to be our wedding weekend nanny this past June. The first night was our rehearsal dinner and we just had Aliza get to know everyone. She did a great job of introducing herself to the parents as well as the kids. My nephew has Asperger's Syndrome and can be very challenging, especially around new people, new places and new situations. Aliza immediately connected with him and made him feel super special. We had a kids table set up with art supplies and kids activity books and Aliza was there to facilitate and oversee. She was super responsive, very professional and incredibly flexible offering to assist with anything else we might need over the course of the weekend. Everyone loved her. Thanks Aliza!

Hello families! I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to introduce myself. With a background in healthcare, I've had the privilege of caring for individuals across different age groups, from seniors to younger clients with intellectual disabilities. Prior to this, I spent my formative years watching over infants, a role I still cherish today, albeit without the state paycheck. What sets me apart is my unwavering dedication to my role as a sitter. I don't just see this as a job; I see it as a responsibility that can profoundly impact someone's life. I take great pride in providing compassionate care and ensuring the safety and well-being of those under my watch. It's not just about earning income for me; it's about making a positive difference in someone's life journey. I'm excited about the opportunity to bring my experience, passion, and commitment to your family. Let's create a nurturing and supportive environment together!

Hi there. I am a recent grad of the University of Maine and am looking for part-time opportunities as a nanny or babysitter. I have a long history working with children which started in 2019 while I was finishing high school. In college I worked part-time at the Children's Dyslexia Center of Bangor, and more recently I worked as a Prevention Educator for one of Maine's Domestic Violence's Resource Centers. I prioritize the physical and emotional safety of every child I work with and always remain engaged and patient. I'm also an animal lover and am willing to help out around the house. Please reach out to me if you have any questions.

I truly love being a babysitter because it allows me to make a meaningful difference in children’s lives while supporting busy families in their day-to-day routines. Caring for children isn’t just a job to me—it’s something I’m deeply passionate about. I enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where kids can grow, learn, and feel supported. I bring a wide range of skills to my role, including meal preparation, school drop-offs and pick-ups, and managing appointments. I’m also experienced with light housekeeping, helping keep the home organized and running smoothly. I take pride in being dependable and trustworthy, so families can feel confident knowing their children are in good hands. My personality is energetic, positive, and engaging. I love staying active with children, whether it’s through play, learning activities, or simply spending quality time together. I’m highly reliable and always strive to be someone both parents and children can count on. Being a nanny gives me a sense of purpose, and I’m grateful to do work that I genuinely enjoy every day.

Hi, l'm a mom of 4 who now has all grown children. I ran my own daycare for awhile while my children were young. I was trained in childcare through the department of defense and have had extensive background checks through the military due to running a daycare facility on base housing when my children were little. I have also been a nanny for a family and I have had my own home daycare as well. I have worked with children of all ages.

My name is Julia! I am 24 years old and currently in Bath Maine. I have my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Mental Health and Rehabilitation and am currently working on my Master’s degree in School Counseling. I have been working with young children in various ways, as a summer camp supervisor, a long-term guidance counselor in Lewiston Public Schools, and currently I am employed as a Behavioral Health Professional in Lewiston Public Schools. As a Behavioral Health Professional, I do have experience working with children who have disabilities. As I work during the regular school year, I am looking for a consistent summer job while school is out for the summer. Preferably a family who wants childcare for the duration of June-August on a set schedule. I am flexible with hourly timing on weekdays, and am available to start on June 15th (but can also be flexible with a start date). My rate and hourly timing is also flexible.
