Savannah G. - Seeking Work in South Portland

Nanny Savannah

South Portland, ME
$18.23/hr
Part-time
1 year experience

A little bit about me…

Hi! My name is Savannah , and I’m an 18-year-old nanny with a deep passion for working with kids. Growing up in the foster care system, I helped raise my younger siblings from a young age, which taught me not only how to care for children but also the importance of patience, empathy, and responsibility.

I’m active and energetic—I love playing soccer and basketball, and I’m always happy to join in outdoor play or sports with kids. I also have a creative side and enjoy writing, storytelling, and arts and crafts. Whether it’s helping with homework, organizing fun activities, or just being a steady presence, I’m all in.

I'm very down-to-earth, easy to talk to, and fully committed to making sure every child I care for feels safe, heard, and supported. I’m open to doing everything from meal prep to bedtime routines and everything in between.

If you're looking for someone who’s reliable, nurturing, and understands kids from the heart, I’d love to be part of your family's life.

A little bit about me…

Hi, I'm Rachel! I worked as a toddler/preschool teacher for 2 years and have been a babysitter for almost 10 years. In August of 2019 I had a beautiful baby girl so I accepted an administrative position that allowed me to spend more time with her and work on my degree. Recently I have found that I really miss working with children, so I am looking for a position with a Covid-19 conscious family that needs someone 20-30 hrs a week. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, planning activities/crafts for my daughter, connecting with friends/family via facetime, reading a good book, enjoying the local parks/beaches, and exploring the trails in the area!
