Hi families! My name is Claudia and I live in midcoast Maine. I have a degree in Early Childhood Ed and Visual arts, and have been an after school art teacher teaching k-5 and a substitute teacher for this past year. I have 10 years experience in childcare including nannying, babysitting, teaching, daycare work, with kids from newborns-11 years old. I love making art with kids, crafts are my speciality and I'm a big believer in the benefits art has to all other developmental areas. I love playing games, reading together, music and song, taking walks into the community for libraries, parks, or playgrounds, and I'm excited to do all of this and more with your family!

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 Families! I am a conscious babysitter/nanny that loves to engage! My heart is full when I have a connection with both the parents and the children that I'm working with. My flexible schedule makes me available to do random babysits or to be your regular sitter. I bend to your needs. Need me to do some cooking, cleaning, shopping? You got it! Want your child to feel loved, supported and engaged? You've come to the right place!

Being a sitter lets me support children as they grow, explore, and learn through play, which is something that genuinely makes me happy. I love building trusting relationships where kids feel safe, understood, and excited to be themselves.​ I have hands-on experience as a student teacher at Community Preschool, actively supervising children ages 2½–5, guiding conflict resolution, and planning engaging activities. I also volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters as a big sister, providing one-on-one mentoring, comfort, and care.​ My Early Childhood Education program at Region 10 prepared me to work professionally with children ages 0–8, and I hold CPR certification, MRTQ 6-hour Health and Safety Training, and DHHS Mandated Reporter training. Families can count on my strong communication, organization, problem-solving, and conflict-resolution skills to keep their children safe, supported, and having fun.

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.

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!

I am living in Topsham, ME and have my own car for transportation. I have been babysitting since I was 16-17 years old and have been certified through the Red Cross to do so since I was 12 years old. The ages of the children have ranged from infants to 11-12 years old. It has been a very meaningful and valuable experience for me as I want to have my own family someday. Through Endicott’s academic program, I completed Risk Assessment and Special Population classes where I learned about first aid and working with children. Last year I was a nanny for a 3-year-old boy and was responsible for transportation to and from school/activities, snack and meal prep, laundry and housekeeping, potty training, nap time, and playtime I am an animal lover as well, and have cats of my own.
