Find local nannies in Standish, ME

Hello! I am an experienced caregiver who has participated in childcare for over 22 years as a nanny, babysitter, and in center based environments. I have experience with infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school aged kiddos; I have cared for children up to age 16. I have done numerous overnights for families, so I have experience with that! I put emphasis on learning through play, and, being a nature lover, try to find ways to incorporate nature in our activities. When with your child, we can sing, read, dance, do art projects, listen to music, go for walks, and take field trips to farms, the museum, playgrounds, and other fun places. I have taken child development classes, so I am pretty aware of where kids are developmentally. Respecting others is important to me, so I try to find teachable moments to convey this. I am first aid/CPR certified. I have reliable transportation, and consider myself to be very reliable as well. I am looking to work in Portland, or within 25 miles of it. I am also fully vaccinated and boosted.

Hi! I'm a 27-year-old with a master’s and doctorate in acupuncture, currently taking a step back from practicing. I’ve been working with families since I was 14—as a mother’s helper, babysitter, and later a nanny. I have nannied in MA and CO and the past few years and have great references. I also have experience dog sitting, cat sitting, and house sitting for several families. I'm happy to provide housekeeping, transportation, and meal prep as part of my care!

I have been babysitting since 2014 and nannying since 2018. I have also been subbing for the past three years and I recently graduated with a bachelors degree in elementary education. I am a travel nanny in the summer for a family based out of NYC and during the school year I am teaching currently. Summer of 2021, I was a part-time nanny for a 14 month old girl where I had many responsibilities including putting her down for her nap, feeding her, and entertaining her for the duration of our day. I have learned a lot about working with babies and toddlers on things like motor skills, developmental milestones, and emotional understanding. For older children, I have learned many strategies pertaining to supplemental learning inside and outside of the classroom. I love going on adventures and making the best out of any situations, so rain or shine I can guarantee we will have a lot of fun!

I have also worked many part time babysitting jobs over the years. I studied psychology and early childhood education at Lehman college and am represented by nanny agencies all over the world including adventure nannies, Westside nannies and VIP nannies. I have also worked as a lifeguard as well as a day camp and sleep away camp counselor. I spent time living in South Africa working at a school for children with special needs as a facilitator and teachers assistant. I absolutely love working with children in all different environments. I enjoy creating a space that allows children to explore their imagination and while enhancing their development and education. I love sports/outdoor activities, running, swimming, hiking yoga and soccer. I am very responsible, caring and flexible.

Hello! My name is Sophia. I am 20 years old and live in Gorham, Maine. I have Nannied for multiple families over the past few years, and have worked as an early childhood educator at a center in Portland for the past year where I helped teach curriculum, facilitate activities, provide basic childcare, such as potty training, and worked closely with families. I have always loved working with kids, it is so rewarding to me and I would love the opportunity to work with your family!

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 enjoy how kids are continuously learning and growing, and teaching them and watching them change and learn is why I am so passionate about working with kids. I consider working with kids to be a lifestyle and not a job!
