Find experienced child care providers in Springvale, ME

Hello, My name is Alexandra, I’m 51 a semi retired masters level social worker. I have about 30+ years of experience. focused jobs and be able to work with kids in a more organic way. I am known to be silly, conscientious, reliable and very compassionate. I truly enjoy being with kids of all ages and find it meaningful to help them experience the world in thoughtful, creative, playful and secure ways. I try to make things seem like an adventure and address conflicts as opportunities for growth. I am also very good with infants and have experience with sleep training. I see my job as being both a coach and a mama bear. If anything does arise I am extremely well trained, calm and focused in an emergency. I’ve been CPR and First Aid trained for over 30 years. As a parent and family social worker I have learned many effective behavior management techniques for kids ages birth to 100. I believe it's extremely important to provide each family the specific care they want and to honor the norms, needs and values of the household.The most important thing to know about me as a childcare provider is that I will take care of your children, pets and household the way you want me to. I believe taking responsibility for the well-being of any child means you always put them first. Choosing the right person to care for your child and trust them in your home is the most important decisions a person can make. I welcome any and all kinds of questions or requests and can make myself available for online interviews at your convenience. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Alexandra Sagov MSW

I would love to help your family! Hope to hear back from you soon!

Hi, my name is Makayla I have been babysitting for 20 years now. I absolutely love it. I love going for walks doing arts and crafts, almost anything! I grew up raising my two youngest siblings and have babysat my entire life. It’s something I have always enjoyed.

I love babysitting kids and pets because they're the best kind of company anyone can ask for. Kids are innocent, pure and can make you laugh with the things they do and the imagination they have. I currently work as a line Cook and a behavioral health professional. I work hard in the heat and stress of a kitchen while keeping a calm head. I also work with children and teenagers with neurodevelopmental disorders as a BHP, getting to know them and assisting them to achieve their life skills, and help manage behavior. I have many skills that I can bring to babysitting your kiddo! I like to get to learn about them first by observing or hearing about them from you parents or them, themselves! It gives me a chance to best understand how they tick, what they're limitations are and where I may notice some push back with chores, homework or such. I also can provide guidance to the older kids and teens with a path for independence, strong work ethic, cooking healthy foods and taking on leadership roles. And I know I didn't talk much about pets but I am very good with animals. I am stern but passionate about them. Big dogs do not scare me away so don't be afraid if you have a big dog! I'd love to chat more one on one to see what I can provide you and your family!

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 have two younger brothers, ages 12 and 10, and had other babysitting jobs throughout high school, so I am experienced with children of all ages. I am also fully vaccinated for COVID. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi! My name is Sarah and I teach 3rd grade in Lawrence, MA. Prior to teaching 3rd, I was a "Pod Teacher" for 12 students in Amesbury, MA from 2020-2021, and a graduate student while working as a 1st grade teacher from 2019-2020. Before my teaching career, I was a nanny and I absolutely loved it! The last family that I nannied for I met in February 2017 before graduating with a bachelors degree in Spanish from Saint Michael's College. The mother and father had a 15 month old daughter and a son on the way. I began nannying for them full time (Monday-Friday 7am-6pm, sometimes weekends, sometimes traveling on vacations with them). When I began my journey to become a teacher and pursue a graduate degree at Merrimack College in 2019, they fully supported me. This family has become a 2nd family to me, and I to them. I'm hoping to find a new family to work with this summer (June-August) while I'm not teaching. I hope to hear from you soon!

I’ve had my license for two years now and have never received traffic violations or warnings. I graduated high school in honors and am now going to be attending southern new Hampshire university in the fall.
