Meet Maggie

  • Comfortable with pets

Hi! My name is Maggie! I am a mom with a college degree specializing in early childhood education and family studies from PSU who is looking for part time employment! I am originally from NYC where I worked at places like the Children’s Museum of Art in Soho, educating families about the basics of introducing art into their families everyday lives as well as nannying for a variety of families with differing needs. I have experience teaching in both Reggio and Waldorf schools and find myself applying the practices of both regularly. Most recently I worked at the Opal School, inside the Portland Children’s Museum, where I was an educator with the school as well as a helper with museum engagement and functionality. I enjoy the outdoors, swimming, children’s literature, doing crafts projects, playing pretend, listening and exploring through music and dance, and I love animals! I am confident in Read more my skills and abilities as a fun, safe, and reliable childcare provider and feel good about knowing parents can relax when their children are in my care. I truly enjoy working with families and have a great amount of respect for how hard it can be to find someone you can trust and appreciate in that role. I have been working with children of all ages my entire life and I have also been a mom now for 8 years! I coparent so I have a fair amount of availability. Children are my passion and I am honored to be considered as someone you’d allow to be a part of your families adventure! Thank you!

You absolutely want to use Maggie as your babysitter!! She was available last minute to watch my 14mo and 3yo and went above and beyond to make them comfortable. She is amazing with kids, and my 3yo was instantly comfortable with her. And even though my 14mo is deep in the throes of stranger danger and attachment to mom, Maggie worked so hard to make him comfortable with her as well. She clearly knows how to connect with kids and gets on their level to play and interact with them. It was such a relief knowing Maggie was watching my boys.
