Find experienced child care providers in Wells, 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

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!

I live in South Berwick, Maine. I worked full time at a childcare in York for the past 11 years. I just recently switched jobs to become a nanny. I currently work part time for two different families. Starting in mid November I will have availability for nannying two days a week. I have no children myself, but I love kids and I love spending time with them. I have been working with children for about 15 years both as a babysitter and in a child care setting. I have worked with children between the ages of 6 weeks and 12 years. I am both CPR and First Aid certified. I also have my CDA.

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!

I love being a sitter because I enjoy spending time with kids and helping them feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I have a lot of experience since I’m a senior in high school and come from a big family I have 4 younger siblings plus nieces and nephews, so I’m always around kids of different ages. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I’m responsible, patient, and good at keeping kids entertained while also making sure they follow routines. I’m available any day after 2:30 till 10 except Sundays but I can make some exceptions , and I always try to be someone families can trust and rely on.

Hi! My name is Brady Salvail and I live in South Berwick, Maine. I am 23 and am currently in my second year of grad school at the University of New England. I have been babysitting for multiple years now for different families and have experience with all ages. In my free time I love to workout, be outdoors, and cook! If you are in need of a babysitter I am looking forward to meeting your family!!

I have several years of hands-on experience working with children across educational, healthcare, and caregiving settings. As a former assistant teacher at a preschool, I guided young learners through creative play, structured lessons, and daily routines, ensuring they felt safe, encouraged, and understood. I also work daily with children as a trained dental assistant, helping them feel comfortable during appointments and explaining procedures in a gentle, age-appropriate way. My experience as a dance teacher has also strengthened my patience, communication, and ability to connect with children of all personalities. I am a college student majoring in dental hygiene with a minor in public health, and I am seeking flexible part-time work that fits my academic schedule. I truly miss being around children and enjoy creating fun, safe, and engaging environments. Caring for kids has always brought me joy, and I would love to continue building meaningful experiences while supporting families in the community. I am responsible, warm, and reliable, and I genuinely love helping children learn, grow, and feel supported.

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!

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.
