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 30 hours a week this fall.

Hi! Since graduating from Brandeis University in 2022. I've been a pre-k teacher in Honolulu, HI. My first babysitting gig was watching my younger sister for my mom growing up. I babysat for others throughout high school and worked as a nanny while in college. I am excited to transition back to working with a family (or families) on a more personalized level again as I look for a position here. I am currently pursuing my PhD in Occupational Therapy and am lucky enough to currently have a relatively flexible schedule upon moving to Maine in July!

I became an early childhood educator because I want to leave the world better than I found it. More often than not, children are my best teachers because of how vulnerable, emotional and honest they are. I started working as a nanny in 2013 while I was taking classes at Middlesex Community College, and knew then that I wanted to work with primarily with young children. While earning my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and Care at Bridgewater State University I discovered and became passionate about mindfulness. Mindfulness is “focusing one's awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations”. My goal is to use mindfulness to help raise more compassionate and empathetic people. I have developed and implemented mindfulness curriculum, teaching infants, toddlers and preschoolers at The Children's Center at Groton, Concord and Wellan Montessori Schools & as a private nanny for several families. 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!

Hello! My name is Ashley. I am a mother to two amazing children and have been a nanny for the past 13 years. I have absolutely enjoyed every little moment of it, big and small, and couldn’t imagine spending my life any different. I am a natural born nurturer and have always loved caring for others. I first began babysitting for my neighbors and my cousins children and it was all over from there! I just knew I was meant to continue that path and make a career as a nanny. I attended Great Bay Community College where I received my ECE certificate and just recently received my certification as a Newborn Care Specialist. A little more about me: I am a happy, positive and energetic person! Aside from being a caregiver, I love to be creative. I have my own “she shed” where I love to create and build all sorts of things from furniture, signs, toys and even a goat barn! My family and I are very close and we spend a lot of time outdoors doing all the fun activities. We are animal lovers and have have 3 goats(why I built a barn haha), a dog and a cat! I am so excited to meet new families and be a supportive, positive, nurturing and crucial role in their lives. I don’t take my work or role lightly and realize the impact it has in the lives of the children and their families in which I care for. I am forever thankful to be given the trust and opportunity to make a difference. Thank you for your time and I look forward to meeting and learning all about you!
