Find experienced child care providers in Springvale, ME

Hi! I’m Caroline 😊 I graduated from Keene State College in May 2022 with a degree in Early Childhood Education and Psychology. I bring a wide range of hands-on experience, including serving as a lead classroom teacher, working as a camp counselor and nanny, and completing extensive student teaching and field placements during college. Currently, I am a Lead Provider with TimberNook, where I support child-led, nature-based play and learning. I also work in wedding planning, which has strengthened my organization, communication, and attention to detail. I have a deep love for nature, creativity, and discovering new hobbies alongside children. I’m passionate about creating a nurturing, engaging environment where children feel supported, curious, and confident. I’m currently seeking occasional part-time work and would love the opportunity to support your family. I hope to connect with you soon!

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

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.

For the past 13 years I have been a babysitter for families as a mothers helper, babysitter and morning nanny. Currently, I am first aide and CPR certified. My goal when I babysit is to make your life easier. I have worked with children from newborn to school aged. Please feel free to contact me!

I am a 19-year-old Maine native with art skills and a willingness to collaborate. I am a student and enjoy learning new things. I love nature and reading books to kids, and helping them explore their environments. I’m also good with pets and have patience with both. 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.

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've done little sitting professionally, however, I have much child care experience due to a large age gap between me and my little siblings. I have taken multiple first aid/cpr courses over the years.

Currently I am a substitute teacher for grades 1-5 in Gorham and Westbrook. I have my Educational Technician 2 certificate. In the past I have run home day cares, owned a Montessori school, been a nanny to several families, etc.. I have my Montessori Degree, however my Early Childhood degree was never completed, something I still hope to finish one day. I have worked with children from infant all the way to adults. I am a big fan of the outdoors and enjoy crafts and activities. Exploring is also fun! I am looking for something for the summer. Could turn into more if needed if everything seems to be going well. Pleases contact me if you are interested. Thankyou.

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!
