Find experienced child care providers in Portland, ME

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.

Hello! I am an experienced caregiver who has participated in childcare for over 22 years as a nanny, babysitter, and in center based environments. I have experience with infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school aged kiddos; I have cared for children up to age 16. I have done numerous overnights for families, so I have experience with that! I put emphasis on learning through play, and, being a nature lover, try to find ways to incorporate nature in our activities. When with your child, we can sing, read, dance, do art projects, listen to music, go for walks, and take field trips to farms, the museum, playgrounds, and other fun places. I have taken child development classes, so I am pretty aware of where kids are developmentally. Respecting others is important to me, so I try to find teachable moments to convey this. I am first aid/CPR certified. I have reliable transportation, and consider myself to be very reliable as well. I am looking to work in Portland, or within 25 miles of it. I am also fully vaccinated and boosted.

I’m 25! I have worked as an instructional assistant in kindergarten and nannied for multiple families! I have my bachelors in early childhood education. I have my own transportation. I love animals and children and hope to make a difference in every child’s life! I love coming up with developmentally appropriate activities for the children as well as engaging activities!

Hello! I currently have 9 years of experience working with children with various needs and abilities. I graduated in 2020 with a bachelors degree in Elementary Education and am currently in school for my masters degree in Occupational Therapy. I am currently working in a specialized preschool for children with autism and developmental disorders. I am trained in CPR and First Aid and I also have all vaccines updated. I am very passionate about working with kids and love to meet new people! I am available after 5 on weekdays and anytime on the weekends. I would be happy to FaceTime or meet in person before. Let me know if you have any questions thank you for viewing my profile!

I love spending time with children because they bring so much innocence, wonder and curiosity to the world. I enjoy slowing down, being present, and encouraging creativity through art, music, crafts, pretend play and time outdoors. I believe childhood is a time to explore, learn, and feel safe, and I strive to create an environment where kids can do just that. I have over 13 years of experience caring for children of all ages through babysitting and professional caregiving. I also worked as a pediatric CNA, where I cared for children with special needs. That experience strengthened my patience, adaptability, and ability to provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each child's unique needs. I am CPR certified and take safety seriously while making sure children have fun, stay engaged, and feel supported. I believe that one of my greatest strengths is how deeply I care for others- I bring that same compassion to every family I work with. Outside of childcare I consider myself an artist who loves music, community, learning new things, and spending time outdoors no matter the season. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy building lasting, trusting relationships with the families I work for. My goal is to be a dependable caring presence that both children and parents can feel comfortable with.

I have been around kids my whole life and grew up helping care for my twin younger brothers, which gave me a great foundation before I started mother’s helping at age 10. Since then, I’ve worked with several families consistently for up to eight years, as well as families who occasionally need help for date nights or busy evenings. Through these experiences I’ve become very comfortable with children of different ages and enjoy everything from playing games and doing crafts to helping with routines like meals, homework, and bedtime. I truly love spending time with kids and creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for them. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks, meal prep, or driving kids to activities. I’m currently looking to help a new family this summer if my schedule allows (I’m still deciding whether I’ll be completing an internship), and I’d love to connect with families who need reliable and caring help.

Hi! My name is Emma, and caring for children has been a big part of my life for over 13 years. In addition to babysitting, I've spent the past 6 years as an elementary school teacher, where I've had the privilege of helping children learn, grow, and build confidence every day. I'm currently preparing to start law school, but I still love working with children and families. I truly enjoy getting to know each child's unique personality, whether we're reading books, doing crafts, playing outside, helping with homework, or just having fun together. My teaching background also allows me to provide tutoring and academic support in a way that's encouraging and engaging. I'm happy to help make life a little easier by preparing meals, assisting with light housekeeping, and keeping routines running smoothly. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your children, and I strive to provide the same care, patience, and attention that I would want for my own family. I look forward to meeting your family and creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where your children feel comfortable, supported, and excited to learn and play!

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.
