I just finished my 20th year as a second and third teacher. l graduated 8 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 20years. 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 2025 calendar. I worked over 20 weddings in Maine the last two 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!

Hello! My name is Katherine Clancy, and I'm 22, almost 23 years old living in North Yarmouth. I just finished my first year of graduate school for Communication Sciences and Disorders (Speech Pathology) and am looking for a summer job. I have many years of experience working with kids of all ages through coaching soccer, becoming a behavioral health professional, becoming a nanny for 2 families, nursing aid, and also a childcare associate. At my behavioral health professional job, I provided the students, ages 3-6, with support and direction, helping them get through their day, taught different types of learning, consisting of sight words, prepositions, peer play, following direction tasks, behavior management, coping skills, and appropriate communication. I also created a friendly, comfortable environment for them to feel welcomed and supported throughout their day. Similarly, working as a nanny for two families, I watched after and provided care for an infant and toddler, and provided care for a 3-month-old for the other family. I created age-appropriate activities for mental and physical stimulation. I also completed housekeeping duties of preparing milk/formula, cleaning dishes/bottles, laundry, and picking up around the house. As a soccer coach, I coached ages 3-15, around 8-15 kids, teaching soccer techniques, drills, foot skills, good sportsmanship, and teamwork. As a nursing aid, I worked in a health and rehabilitation center for older adults but I learned many valuable things that help my ability to be a great babysitter such as providing all residents with everyday care and support, making sure all their needs were met, creating a warm, safe environment for all residents to feel at home and comfortable by showing kindness, compassion, and individual service to each resident’s own needs, and providing all residents with bathing, grooming, dressing, and feeding as well as transferring and changing linens. During my first year of graduate school I worked with 6 clients of all different ages, providing supervised speech therapy. Specifically I provided therapy and support to individuals with communication disorders, evaluated clients' communication skills and identifying specific areas of need, developed individualized treatment goals and strategies, documented assessment findings and treatment progress and educated and supporting families about their child's communication needs. Overall I love working with kids and have lots of experience! Thanks!

Hello parents! I am a 26 year-old single mom with plenty of childcare experience prior to becoming a parent myself. As the oldest of 6, I grew up caring for my younger siblings, and then later went on to begin babysitting kids in the neighborhood, starting at 12 years-old. I continued to babysit and pick up nannying gigs (ages ranging from 8mo-12yrs), until I went into the food industry and housekeeping the last few years. I’m looking for a part-time gig to fill in a couple weekdays I’m currently not working, ideally something I could work around my child’s school schedule, and potentially could bring them along on occasion when school is out. I have reliable transportation and a clean driving record, and I’m willing to drive kids to and from school/extracurriculars. I can offer homework help when needed, though I admit I’m not great at math! Housekeeping for additional pay as well. Looking forward to hearing from you, and being back in the child care industry!

Hi, my name is Alexandra. I am 23 years old and live in Brooklyn. I graduated in 2021 from Middlebury College in Vermont. I have been babysitting since I was 13 and have also worked at various summer camps. I love spending time with kids and working on creative projects with them or helping them with homework. I also speak Spanish and have served as a Spanish tutor/or babysit immersively by speaking Spanish with the kids I am babysitting and can do this with your kids if it is something you are interested in! I recently left a job at a podcast production company and have very flexible availability (days and evenings).

Excited to spend my evenings and possible weekends with a wonderful family. Working with children brightens my days! I’m looking forward to connecting with more children outside of my classroom.

Hi! I’m Matt — a dependable, positive, and patient sitter who loves helping kids learn, explore, and have fun in a safe and supportive environment. I’ve always enjoyed connecting with children and creating experiences that keep them engaged, whether that means reading stories, playing outside, or helping with creative projects. I have experience babysitting and raising over 15+ cousins and three nephews over the years. I love being a sitter because every day is different — kids have such a natural curiosity and sense of wonder. Being part of their growth, even in small ways, is incredibly rewarding. I take pride in being someone families can rely on and kids can truly look forward to spending time with. I have a reliable, safe car, I am great with housekeeping and organizing, love to cook and teach little one's kitchen safety, and am great at coming up with a variety of activities and entertainment beyond watching TV or playing with electronics.

Energetic, Montessori-inspired caregiver helping children grow with play, learning, and healthy routines. I’m Lisa — a mom of four and grandmother to a 3-year-old I’ve cared for since birth. I bring a warm, reliable, and energetic approach to childcare, with experience from newborns to school age. My background in Montessori learning helps me create fun, hands-on activities that encourage independence and curiosity. I also love preparing healthy meals, keeping routines consistent, and making sure children feel safe, nurtured, and happy while in my care. My Credentials & Qualities Proven Experience: Raised four children through all stages of development, plus three years of part-time care for my toddler granddaughter.

I love my profession because children have been my life, from raising my own two and 20 years as a teacher. I'm warm, friendly, organized, fun, and sensitive to various personalities and needs. Fingerprinted, background checked, certified Infant/Child CPR/1st aid, member of nanny organizations, and I have references from several families I have "nannied!" My specialty is birth to 12 mo. but have enjoyed all ages. My hourly rate is $24-25 for 1 child depending on what is needed, $27 for 2 children, $20-25 for single events. Included: simple meal prep for the baby, dishes, tidying toys at day's end, minimal pet care. Nannying is my sole income, so like a daycare, I am paid a weekly salary to hold that timeslot for the duration of the assignment. I am currently available some Fridays and weekends, and in May my schedule will open up more! I typically look for 4 8-hr days but can flex. Please reach out with any questions! I'd love to talk with you!
