Find experienced child care providers in Wells, ME

Hi! I’m Lorelei. I just moved back to Maine after spending the past three years living in Japan. Right now, I’m teaching art at the Middle School of the Kennebunks and working toward my master’s degree in Art Education. I’ve worked with kids of all ages, from four months to teenagers. I’ve been a nanny for several families and have also done lots of date night and event babysitting. Over the years, I’ve worked in several daycare settings, special education classrooms, and directed summer camps. I love working with kids and bringing creativity into everything I do. I’m currently available for occasional babysitting opportunities and am open to some more regular hours during the summer before the school year begins. I’m reliable, patient, and always happy to jump into crafts, games, or anything your kids are into. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to chat or see if it’s a good fit!

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 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 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 loved children since as far back as I can remember. I enjoy having fun and watching the young minds grow and learn from everyday activities. I love doing projects and experiments with the kids as well as playing outside and reading books.

Hi! I’m a junior in the Dental Hygiene program at UNE, and I’m looking to connect with families in the Old Orchard Beach, Biddeford, Saco, Portland, and surrounding areas who may need a babysitter or occasional childcare help! I have several years of experience working with children in educational, healthcare, and caregiving settings. In high school, I worked as an assistant preschool teacher with children from infants through age 5, helping with daily routines, creative play, activities, meals, and creating a safe and positive environment. I’ve also worked as an assistant dance teacher, which gave me experience working with a wide range of ages and personalities. I’m also a formally trained dental assistant and work with children in a dental setting. This has helped me become patient, attentive, responsible, and comfortable helping children feel safe and comfortable in new or stressful situations. I genuinely love working with kids and miss being around them! I enjoy getting creative, staying active, and creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment where children feel supported. I’m comfortable helping with meals, activities, homework, routines, bedtime, and light tidying related to the children. Because I’m in school and have clinic, my availability is generally after 5 PM on weekdays (except Wednesdays), with more flexibility on weekends. I’m open to occasional babysitting, date nights, weekends, or something more consistent. I also have reliable transportation and regularly travel to Biddeford for dance team practices, so families in that general area would be especially convenient. I’d love to find a family I can become a trusted and dependable part of! Feel free to message me with any questions or if you’d like to chat about your childcare needs. 😊
