Rita did a fabulous job caring for our 7 month old while we were visiting Ogunquit, Maine. Rita communicated well with us leading up to and during the babysitting gig, and she was very playful and caring with our baby. We look forward to hiring Rita again for the next time we are visiting the area!

Hi my name is Oriah and I am very passionate about kids. I love kids of all ages but especially love babies. I have recently graduated from UNH with a degree in Human Development & Family Studies and a minor in Anthropology. I have an array of experiences working with children. I have newborn experience, and have had long term nanny positions with multiple families. I also have experience working at a preschool. I am patient, energetic and goofy. I love art and being creative as well as the outdoors. I think it is extremely important for children to develop a loving relationship with nature and the outdoors. I think the most important factor for a babysitter and a family is to have open communication. I hope you consider hiring me as your babysitter because I truly enjoy working with children. Please message me if you need help! I am currently looking for 25-30 hours a week this Spring/Summer

Oriah was wonderful. Prompt and communicative, asked thoughtful and thorough questions about our daughter's care. Our daughter took to her immediately and we felt very confident with her care while we were out. We would not hesitate to use Oriah again.

Hi! My name is Eve, and I’m currently a sophomore at UNH. I am looking for a babysitting position. I’ve been working with kids since I was 15 at a summer camp and babysitting here and there in between, so I have lots of experience with kids of all ages. When I’m home during school breaks I work at a daycare so I would love to continue working with kids while at college! I also have plenty of experience house-sitting and pet-sitting, and I’m comfortable with all animals (no allergies!). I’m responsible, reliable, and I’d love to find a great family to work with while I’m at school!

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.

Kathleen was wonderful in providing care to our infant and our friends' infant, while we were in town for a wedding. Kathleen was warm, communicative, and gave us full confidence to go out and enjoy our evenings with the babies well taken care of. Would definitely work with Kathleen again!

Sagia was nothing short of amazing! Highly recommend. She was able jump right in when my childcare fell through and keep my two year old entertained while I worked from home. My daughter had separation anxiety at first knowing I was in the next room but Sagia was able to calm her. By the end she was happy as a clam and giving Sagia hugs!

Nurturing young minds is more than a job for me; it's my true passion. I've dedicated much of my career to providing care for children from infancy to age 5. I prefer to work with individual families at this stage of my career because it allows me to provide more individualized experiences. I have a literal trunkload of art:/science/math projects geared for any age. I have a self-designed BS in incorporating the arts into Early Childhood Education, a CDA, and am current in CPR and First Aid. I have a comprehensive portfolio to share with you. I create learning experiences that are engaging and fun. I'm reliable, patient, calm and imaginative. I love to get children outdoors to explore the natural world and assist in physical development. I look forward to speaking with you about the needs of your little one(s)!

Hello! My name is Jessica, and I’m excited to introduce myself. I hold an associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education and am currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree to further expand my knowledge and skills in the field. I’ve most recently worked as a center director, a role that has provided me with invaluable experience in managing programs, overseeing staff, and ensuring that children receive high-quality care. However, since the birth of my daughter in July, I’ve realized that I’m looking for a change. The demands of my current position have made it challenging to find the right work-life balance, and I would love to explore a new opportunity that allows me to be more present with her. Ideally, I’m seeking a position that would allow me to bring my daughter along with me while continuing to contribute to the field I’m so passionate about. I believe this would provide the best of both worlds for me—being able to support my career growth while also cherishing the precious time with my little one. Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about me. I look forward to the possibility of finding a role that aligns with both my professional goals and personal values.
