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!

I am a childcare professional with a passion for caring for children. I have a degree in early childhood education and have dedicated the last 30+ years to working with children. I have experience with children in many settings, including childcare centers, preschools, and home care, as well as having raised two children of my own. I have many years of nanny experience, working with children from infancy through school age. I especially love spending time with and caring for infants and toddlers. There is nothing I find more rewarding than getting to know a child at the beginning of their young life and being a part of helping them grow and develop. I have a quiet, calm, caring and confident way with children that I believe puts both children and parents at ease. I would love to make the time your child must spend away from you fun, loving, engaging and educational. I have recently moved back to Maine and am looking for a part time nanny job in the Gray/Raymond area.

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!
