A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Abby, I’ve been a nanny for about 5 years with 8 1/2 years of experience, caring for kids from newborns to early school age. I’m patient, calm, and hands-on, and I love creating a warm, fun, and predictable environment for the children I care for. I enjoy helping kids reach their milestones, supporting their routines, and making each day feel both safe and happy. I also value good communication with parents so we’re always on the same page and working together! I am excited to meet a new family to work with long term! I am moving to Portland, Maine from Boston in January 2026! I look forward to connecting soon!

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Rachael, I am an online college student pursuing a career in elementary education. I love working with children of all ages and am infant/toddler/preschool teacher certified. I currently work with toddlers aged 18mo-2.9yr at an early education center. I love art and music, and value freedom of expression. I believe healthy eating and plenty of physical activity should be a consistent routine implemented as early in life as possible. I love watching children learn and grow, and have a deep appreciation for silliness. I have 6 nieces (#7 on the way!) with the oldest being 10 year old twins. My girls, my fiance and my cats are my whole world!

A little bit about me
I'm 42 and a mother of 3 children ages 24, 15, and 11. I'm a full-time student online getting my BS Degree in Business Management and I'm a wife of 4 years. I can cook, bake, clean, laundry, and help with homework. I have a cat and small dog at home. I take the city bus system or walk everywhere. I've never gotten paid for watching my own children so this would be a first for watching someone else's children.
