Boomer B. - Seeking Work in Portland

Nanny Boomer

Portland, ME

Full-time
< 1 year experience

A little bit about me

Hello, I am Boomer, I am from a small village in Central Pennsylvania. My upbringing was unique because I was raised with 10 other children. Growing up around many younger children inspired a strong sense of responsibility for their well-being. I learned to be patient with them, taught them to do tasks independently, and helped them understand their emotions and those of others around them. As a result of my care for others, I find the well-being, education, and ethics of future generations of utmost importance. I am empathetic and generous, but I run a tight ship. My main goal is to leave a positive, lasting impression with the kids I meet and care for.

Hi! My name is Zephyr, I'm 20 years old and I was born and raised in Maine! I’ve been a nanny and babysitter for about four years. I’m a responsible, motivated, and dependable individual who genuinely enjoys working with children and being a positive, stable presence in their daily lives. I’m calm, organized, and very respectful of household routines and boundaries. I understand how important trust, communication, and consistency are when welcoming someone into your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m looking for a live-in position because I value structure, reliability, and being fully present and supportive for the family I work with. I’m happy to help with childcare, daily routines, light household tasks related to the children, and maintaining a safe and positive environment. I’m flexible, quick to learn, and always willing to step in where help is needed! If you have any questions or are interested in speaking more, feel free to reach out! :)

Portland, ME

Full-time
7 years experience

A little bit about me

I found at a very young age that I have a love for communion with people but that love is rooted in the quality time with family. I loved spending and taking care of my younger siblings growing up, and I have been taking care of my little nieces and nephews for 7 years and every moment spent with them allowed me to grow as a person and mostly taught me how to be patient. can write so much more about why I love kids but the main reason why I cherish spending time with them is that I see their infinite potential and I feel honored being part in their growth.
