Hello! I am a college graduate and preschool teacher. I am currently looking for occasional or one-time childcare jobs. I have about 5 years experience working with kids of all ages. I also have professional and educational experience working with kids with autism and other developmental disorders. I have a passion for working with children and can assure that my care would be exceptional and professional, but most importantly fun and enjoyable for your children! Please reach out with any questions.

We were visiting friends in Saco over the weekend and Amanda sat with our kids a couple of times. She was flexible (our times changed a few times), arrived on time, was a quick communicator, and most importantly, was totally unfazed by our rambunctious 5-year old. I'd strongly recommend her and hope to have her sit for us again when we are back in Maine!

Hello, My name is Alexandra, I’m 51 a semi retired masters level social worker. I have about 30+ years of experience. focused jobs and be able to work with kids in a more organic way. I am known to be silly, conscientious, reliable and very compassionate. I truly enjoy being with kids of all ages and find it meaningful to help them experience the world in thoughtful, creative, playful and secure ways. I try to make things seem like an adventure and address conflicts as opportunities for growth. I am also very good with infants and have experience with sleep training. I see my job as being both a coach and a mama bear. If anything does arise I am extremely well trained, calm and focused in an emergency. I’ve been CPR and First Aid trained for over 30 years. As a parent and family social worker I have learned many effective behavior management techniques for kids ages birth to 100. I believe it's extremely important to provide each family the specific care they want and to honor the norms, needs and values of the household.The most important thing to know about me as a childcare provider is that I will take care of your children, pets and household the way you want me to. I believe taking responsibility for the well-being of any child means you always put them first. Choosing the right person to care for your child and trust them in your home is the most important decisions a person can make. I welcome any and all kinds of questions or requests and can make myself available for online interviews at your convenience. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Alexandra Sagov MSW

Hi! I recently graduated from Saint Joseph's College of Maine with a Bachelor's degree in Accounting and Finance. During my time in college, I was able to connect with and meet a bunch of families in need of helping take care of their kids! The ages ranged from as young as 1 year old to as old as 11 years old! With 3 years of experience, I was able to help kids out by helping them with meals, bus pick-ups, sports event drop-offs, etc. As a babysitter, I was super easygoing with the tasks the parents asked of me!

With going on 4 + years of experience, I think it’s safe to say that I love spending time with kids. I’m here to provide them with a safe and fun caregiver so you guys can go out and get things done! Kids are so silly and I love learning all about their individual personalities. I’ve done childcare in almost all aspects, I coached gymnastics for 3 years, was a camp counselor, preschool substitute teacher, and as of more recently I am a nanny for a lovely family. I love keeping busy and having my schedule filled which is why I’ve come on here to find some more families to connect with! I am CPR certified and have taken a multitude of childhood education coursework and certification classes which I would be happy to provide you with! Again, I’m here to make you feel comfortable and to provide your kids with a safe and happy environment. Let me know if you think that I would fit the job and I would be more than happy to connect with you about this position! Thank you.

Hi! I’m a reliable, patient, and organized sitter with experience caring for both children and pets. I grew up helping care for my younger brothers and currently live with a 4-year-old, so I’m very comfortable with young children and busy routines. I also work in healthcare doing 12-hour shifts, which means I’m CPR certified, calm under pressure, and available multiple days throughout the week. I’m well versed in autism, learning challenges, and creating a supportive environment where kids feel safe, understood, and encouraged. I’ve always loved school and enjoy helping with learning activities, crafts, story time, and outdoor adventures. Whether your child loves imaginative play or your pet needs extra patience and care, I always aim to create a fun, safe, and positive experience for every family I work with! I do work full time, doing 12-13 hour shifts. But that means I have 4 days a week available to accommodate your needs! I look forward to meeting you (:
