Find experienced child care providers in Buckfield, ME

Hiii! My name is Elana! I’m 22 I have 5 years of experience as the head teacher in a toddler room, along with 2 years of experience nannying and babysitting before that. I also come from a big family with lots of kids, all with different personalities, needs, and abilities, so I’d say I’m very adaptable and experienced in caring for and having fun with all kinds of kiddos! I love getting outside and exploring with little ones—whether that’s hiking, swimming, playing at the playground, catching bugs, or collecting rocks. I believe in creating a safe, caring, and fun environment where kids can be themselves, explore, and enjoy their time while you’re away. 💛

My name is Alfaye, I am 29 years old and originally from the Philippines. I recently moved to the United States last year. I hold a degree in Medical Technology, but I pursued my passion for teaching and worked as an educator for children aged 3 to 10. In addition to classroom teaching, I also have experience working with children online, where I supported kids through virtual learning sessions. This helped me develop strong communication skills, patience, and the ability to keep children engaged in a remote learning environment. As the eldest child in my family, I naturally gained early childcare experience by helping care for my younger sibling and looking after my younger cousins while their parents were at work. These responsibilities helped me build a strong sense of responsibility and caregiving from a young age. I have always loved working with children and find joy in helping them learn, grow, and feel safe and supported in both in-person and online settings.

I am certified in CPR and first aid through red Cross. Along with babysitting children since I was about 15 years old (9 years) I have also worked several years in a daycare, worked as a nanny, and helped out in several different children's programs. Most of my babysitting jobs included doing a bedtime routine so I am used to reading bedtime stories, making sure the children get baths, and so on. I have also worked a couple jobs cooking and like to involve the children with making food as well. Working with children is what gives me the greatest joy. I would love the opportunity to work with your family.
