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!

Hi! I’m currently 24 years old and I became babysitter certified at the age of 12 to be able to properly care for my younger cousins/siblings and I’ve been at it ever since. I also took an early childhood learning class in high school. I absolutely adore children and I care for every one as if they were my own. I have experience as a behavioral technician in a clinical setting working with children on the spectrum from ages 2-5. I have experience with infants, toddlers, elementary age & pre-teens. I also have experience with multiples. I love encouraging children to engage in activities that help them learn/grow but I also love bringing them places to relax and have fun or just simply coloring together and listening to music. I also like cooking and what not so meal prep is always on the table if you need it. I always respect parents boundaries/wishes and I adapt to whatever approach they prefer with anything. Most importantly; I will protect your child with my life, scouts honor!

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.

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.

Hi! I’m a reliable, patient, and organized sitter with experience caring for both children and pets. I grew up helping care for my younger brothers and currently live with a 4-year-old, so I’m very comfortable with young children and busy routines. I also work in healthcare doing 12-hour shifts, which means I’m CPR certified, calm under pressure, and available multiple days throughout the week. I’m well versed in autism, learning challenges, and creating a supportive environment where kids feel safe, understood, and encouraged. I’ve always loved school and enjoy helping with learning activities, crafts, story time, and outdoor adventures. Whether your child loves imaginative play or your pet needs extra patience and care, I always aim to create a fun, safe, and positive experience for every family I work with! I do work full time, doing 12-13 hour shifts. But that means I have 4 days a week available to accommodate your needs! I look forward to meeting you (:

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.
