Find experienced child care providers in Shapleigh, ME

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 (:

Hi l'm Sadie, I am 25 years old and currently work as a flight attendant . I am certified in CPR and First Aid, and am a Certified Nursing Assistant. I worked at a nursing home as a Recreational Therapy Assistant for about 3 years and as a Certified Teacher at an Early Childhood Education center working with toddler and preschool aged children. Before becoming a flight attendant, I nannied for 2 years for one family with children ages 4 and 1. Since moving back to the city, I am looking for occasional babysitting opportunities on my days off.

I look forward to hearing from you!

I am a preschool paraeducator who would love to provide a fun, safe, and peaceful childcare experience for your family! I have been a mother for nineteen years and have four children ranging from elementary school to a high school graduate. I am an active person and I love the outdoors. For the past year, I have had the opportunity to work as a teaching assistant with our school district's preschool program. I work with children ages 3 to 5, and have experience with group and individual instruction as well as supervision. I am CPR certified and have a Maine DOE background check and Ed Tech 3 certification. I have extensive volunteer experience working with children and teenagers through our local church. I spent four years working as a music leader with children ages 18 months to 12 years. I also taught Sunday school to children ages 7 and 8 for six months, and to teenagers ages 13 to 15 for three years. I have a bachelor's degree in Italian and have a functional understanding of Spanish. My own children are bright, kind, and respectful. My two oldest children are members of Mensa, and three of my children participate in our school district's gifted and talented program. All my children are musically talented, and my oldest two have participated for multiple years in honors band festivals. My children all participate in volunteer service opportunities with our church and community. I believe that the best experiences children can have are not found on screens. I believe in exploration, interaction, and conversation as the foundation of childhood learning and healthy emotional growth. I believe in helping children acknowledge and navigate strong emotions to help them make healthy choices in their actions and words. I strongly believe in the importance of musical education, and to that end, I play three instruments and sing in a choir. I am comfortable singing lullabies and listening to age appropriate music as requested. I work a second job as a housecleaner and have extensive experience in caring for cats, chickens, snakes, fish, and small mammals. I am comfortable with all pets, from large dogs to tarantulas. I do not smoke, drink, or use inappropriate language. I am a meticulously organized person in my personal and professional life. My most available time is between 8:30am and 4pm during the summer.

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.

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!
