Oriah M., Child Care in Portsmouth, NH 03801 with 7 years of paid experience

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

Eve H., Child Care in Portsmouth, NH 03801 with 5 years of paid experience

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!

Erin C., Child Care in Portsmouth, NH 03801 with 15 years of paid experience

I started working as a nanny in 2013 while I was earning my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and Care at Bridgewater State University. I have 10+ years of professional childcare experience working in both private families homes, and as a teacher in various classrooms. I taught toddlers for 5 years at Wellan Montessori School before shifting back to nannying in 2022. The last family I nannied for had twin 3 month olds who I cared for full-time until they were 1.5 years old. I have a passion for social-emotional development, and implement Mindfulness teaching practices to foster secure relationships with the little ones I care for. I love reading, being outside, doing yoga and having dance parties with kiddos! I am currently looking for occasional & part-time babysitting/nannying gigs. Please reach out if you think I'd be a good fit to work with your family!

Ava I., Child Care in Portsmouth, NH 03801 with 4 years of paid experience

I have a lot of experience with babysitting from ages <1 year to around 12 years old! I have also had experience with tutoring kids around the 9-13 years old which gives me good experience to help with homework, etc. I am a freshman in the College of General Studies at Boston University and am looking for some part time work on weekends or possibly one weekday (around 5-6 hrs a week). I recently had a gap semester where I spent most of it (32 hrs a week) nannying for two different families (one boy - 1 y/o and the other family 2 girls - 2 and 4 y/o) and I really grew to love the work and the kids so much so I’m hoping to find that here as well! I love working with kids and really enjoy the work I have been able to do with them in the past which makes me very hardworking on the job and fun for the kids!
