Find experienced nannies in North Waterboro, ME

I have a true passion for shaping the minds of young children! I have 4 years of experience working in a daycare facility with children of various ages and abilities. I hold my Bachelor’s degree in Special Education for ages 0-5 and grades K-8. I am first aid and CPR certified and hold my water safety certification as well. I am on Maine Roads to Quality to ensure that I am up to date on professional development opportunities. I love planning fun activities and adventures for children! I have lots of experience in planning around pre-k curriculums and building activities that are developmentally appropriate and challenging. I am a mom to a 4 month old boy! My schedule would ideally be Monday-Thursday during the day but I am flexible!

I have extensive experience working with children and teenagers, from infancy through seventeen years, across a wide range of educational and care settings. As a Special Education Technician, I support students with diverse learning needs through individualized instruction, adaptive strategies, and encouragement. I have also served as a nursery school lead teacher, fostering early childhood development through play-based learning, social-emotional guidance, and consistent routines. As a middle school classroom teacher, I guided students through academic progress and the social development that defines this pivotal stage. In addition, I maintain a private studio as a piano and voice instructor, where I design lessons that emphasize both technical mastery and creative expression. Beyond the classroom, I have engaged with children in roles that combine mentorship, care, and leadership. As a youth group leader, I built meaningful connections with middle and high school students through activities, Sunday dinners, and informal gatherings. As a camp counselor, I supervised children ages five to twelve, ensuring their safety at the archery range, pool, and ropes course while also creating a spirited and supportive environment through music, chants, and games. I also worked as a live-in nanny for four children (ages 10, 13, 15, and 17), supporting them with academics, teaching life skills such as driving, and managing the dynamics of a busy household—an experience both challenging and rewarding. I hold bachelor’s and master’s degrees in music, having studied at The Juilliard School and Bard College. As a professional opera singer, I have performed internationally, experiences that shaped my discipline, creativity, and ability to communicate across cultures. While the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted my performing career, it opened the door to a deeper commitment to education and child development, where I now find tremendous fulfillment working with students of all ages. Outside of my professional work, I remain passionate about music, tennis, and lifelong learning. Tennis has been a favorite sport since childhood, and I continue to play regularly. I practice mindfulness and meditation and find balance through hiking and camping. Growing up in Maine gave me a strong connection to nature that I carry with me. I am also passionate about food and cooking and enjoy exploring the diversity of cuisines available today.

I have over 6+ years in experience in nannying/babysitting and I'm always excited to create new tight-knit relationships with parents and safe, rememberable experiences for kiddos. I'm an upbeat and reliable babysitter, who's most comfortable with ages 0-5 but I have experience with children up to 13, as well as children on the autism spectrum. I am currently making efforts to get CPR and First aid certified. When I'm not working with kids, I have a full time job as a hairstylist, and am able to find creativity and flexibility in both worlds. I love doing out door activities and try to refrain from screen time, trying to find the fun in everything.

With going on 4 + years of experience, I think it’s safe to say that I love spending time with kids. I’m here to provide them with a safe and fun caregiver so you guys can go out and get things done! Kids are so silly and I love learning all about their individual personalities. I’ve done childcare in almost all aspects, I coached gymnastics for 3 years, was a camp counselor, preschool substitute teacher, and as of more recently I am a nanny for a lovely family. I love keeping busy and having my schedule filled which is why I’ve come on here to find some more families to connect with! I am CPR certified and have taken a multitude of childhood education coursework and certification classes which I would be happy to provide you with! Again, I’m here to make you feel comfortable and to provide your kids with a safe and happy environment. Let me know if you think that I would fit the job and I would be more than happy to connect with you about this position! Thank you.

Hi parents, I’m Bella! 😊 I’m an energetic 23 year old mama who’s always had a true passion for early development, babysitting and nurturing. I have my own two daughters, a homeschooled 6 year old, and a 10 month old, so I understand how hard it can be to trust people with your kiddos and how important it is to find someone you feel truly understands and respects your children as well as your parenting. On top of my daughters and lots of nieces and nephews I help care for, I’ve also taken a handful of nannying and babysitting jobs over the last 10 years caring for all different age ranges. Some activities or hobbies i love include hikes/walks, swimming and just being outdoors, reading, dance parties, movie nights, baking and crafty activities such as Playdough, painting and coloring and so much more. I cant wait to hear from you and learn all about you and your littles!
