Find experienced child care providers in Shapleigh, ME

I grew up in Illinois but recently moved out to Maine. I used to work for Presence Marketing as the National Senior Data Lead for 10 years but got laid off during COVID. Before moving out to Maine I completed my general education courses at Harper College in Illinois to graduate as a science major. My ultimate goal is to move forward and become an ultrasound technician. Looking back, my greatest achievement in high school was volunteering for a program called Best Buddies. We worked with students who had mental disabilities, and I personally worked one on one with a student who was mute. In the end, I believe he taught me more in those 3 years than I could ever teach him. I’ve been babysitting on and off for about 12 years, but my favorite experience by far was babysitting twins (a boy & a girl) for a little over a year and a half. When I first started the twins were only a couple of months old, so it was definitely a learning curve but extremely rewarding in the end. I grew very close with the family but unfortunately had to leave for my job opportunity. I’m CPR & first aid certified. If you have any questions or need references, please feel free to reach out!

I’ve worked with children and adults of all ages and find that sharing creative play and activities builds strong relationships. I am a mom, with a grown up son. I enjoy nature, learning, music, crafting and writing. I’ve been successful with book clubs with special needs adults, and with teaching healthy cooking and movement along with mindful meditation. Through my professional years, I’ve been and am certified in first aid/cpr. I have worked in behavioral health services for both children and adults. Please contact me if you feel I would be a good fit for your family

Hi, my name is Ali Machinski and I have been working with children since I was a child myself. I grew up in a daycare and my love for kids began there. I’ve been a nanny for a family of three, worked 5 years as a counselor, sub teacher, and many other tasks within that position as well as running an infant classroom. Infants personally have my heart and I am a college student who is on the nursing track to become a postpartum/labor and delivery nurse.

I am a fun, creative and nurturing person. I strongly believe in the power of play, as well as reading to children. I have been a nanny for several families and have babysat for numerous families. I am a special education ed. tech and BHP. Since I received my associates in Early Childhood Education and my bachelors in Early Childhood Administration. I have worked in several preschools as a Lead and Assistant Teacher. I have been BHP supervisor and trainer for over 5years. Since I work in a school a background check, fingerprinting and mandated reporter certification is required. It also required that my CPR and First Aid certification is updated. I am trained in several other areas in childcare. Please feel free to ask for references.

The reason I am choosing to be a sitter is because I feel children thrive with one on one time. I love being a sitter because I can watch them grow and thrive into their personality. I have 6 years experience in childcare, I have worked with aged 6 weeks - 12 years. I have cpr, first aid, Aed training and I have my certifications to show.
