I love babysitting! I always helped my mom when she babysat and then started on my own in high school around 16. I have had my driver’s license for 5 years. I love sitting because I can form connections with the kids and make them smile. I am CPR and First Aid certified — I’m a Lifeguard and Nursing Assistant — also certified in infant CPR. In college, I babysit 2 twins and a toddler. I have experience with pre teens, infants, toddlers, and young children. I love going on walks, playing outside, and playing games with the kids. It’s a great side job to have, especially getting to know the kids!

We hired Abigayle to watch our 3 boys (ages 1, 3, and 5) for a couple of days during a family vacation to the Boothbay area. Let mommy and daddy have at least a little vacation. She was great! The boys warmed up to her quickly, and she kept them busy playing in and around the house we rented. We’d definitely get in touch again on a future trip!

Hi, l'm a mom of 4 who now has all grown children. I ran my own daycare for awhile while my children were young. I was trained in childcare through the department of defense and have had extensive background checks through the military due to running a daycare facility on base housing when my children were little. I have also been a nanny for a family and I have had my own home daycare as well. I have worked with children of all ages.

I've spent a lot of time around kids since I grew up in a huge family of 5 kids and 6 stepsiblings. The first thing I did to make money was babysit, I started when I was eleven and have babysat for so many different families since. I'm a trained babysitter with American Red Cross and have been certified in CPR for children, toddlers, and infants. I did this training to ensure that I could handle emergency situations. I play the guitar and love singing along to nursery rhymes with kids I'm babysitting. I love doing art and making sure that kids are having fun and being creative. I've also tutored many different age groups and grew up with a teacher as a mother. This makes helping kids learn a lot easier. Trust in me to take care of your children and keep them happy and healthy under my watch.

-I am well qualified as I am a mother myself. My son is grown and does not plan on having children. I miss spending time with children. I think children remind us that life is good. I have worked in a daycare facility years ago. I also have worked as a substitute teacher. I have some college my major was nursing. I spent many years working as a caregiver in Assisted Living comma private care and caring for my own family. I currently do not have a certificate for CPR and first aid although I have had the courses and do you know how to perform CPR on the adults and children. I am looking to care for some children after school in my home part-time. School bus comes right by my house on McKeen Street I'm pretty much close to everything in town. I am a flexible person so coming to person's home is not out of the question.

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.

Shemi B., Child Care in Harpswell, ME 04079 with 3 years of paid experience

As one of six children, my childhood was loud and energetic. That upbringing taught me how impressionable those years are and inspired a genuine passion for helping kids grow, learn, and have fun in a safe environment. Being in a large family meant that I became a built in babysitter! I've been officially babysitting for family and friends since the age of 13. I have continued leadership and fostering roles for college students as an RA and in my job as an art instructor— which has honed my problem-solving and conflict resolution skills. My approach when babysitting is to be a reliable but fun figure for kids. With my artistic background, you can count on me to bring creativity, patience, and fun to the table. A few fun activities I love to do are flip-book animations, hands-on arts and crafts, story making, etc. My philosophy is: safety first, imagination in a close second, and boredom never (although naps are permitted after a hard day of work)
