"Lucy still babysits for me from time to time, and I have worked with her at the daycare I am an assistant director of. She is kind, gentle, and has such an imagination. She is a person who shows that she genuinely loves the kids she is working with and she can find joy in all of the silly things that kids do. Lucy is creative and comes up with fun games or art activities to do. My two children love when Lucy comes to our house and she is one of their favorite people to spend time with.
While she won't say no to working with any age, she has a heart for working with the kids who are 3 and under. In the past year that I have known her, she has grown so much in her ability to care for young children. I have only seen her confidence continue to grow."

A little bit about me
I have lived at boarding schools my whole life, so I would babysit other faculty kids all the time. I also babysit my little cousins quite often, when their mother has doctors appointments and such. I am great with children because I am creative and light hearted. I have reliable transportation and will always be on time! I a proficient French speaker. I lived in Canada for the first ten years of my life and I am half French-Canadian. So, if you're looking to introduce a new language to your child, I may be able to help. Currently, I am looking for flexible work because I am starting my sophomore year of college this fall. Classes are online right now though, so I am able to complete work whenever I am not busy! I will have a flexible schedule like this for the foreseeable future. I would love to meet and maybe nanny for you!

Hello! Former live in nanny in Rye NH. I was full time care for an adorable toddler named Henry who was full of life! I also tended to housework, and their three dogs. We spent a lot of times outside, reading, or doing arts and crafts. I moved to Maine this past summer while I put my real estate career on hold, and am looking to get to know families and the area better. Being a nanny was my favorite career and I am excited to get back to it. I am available week days and can start asap! I would love to chat. I have a wonderful referral from the family I worked for, a safe 2017 insured vehicle, and a professional, kind and curteous demeanor.

A little bit about me
My name is Mandy and at work, I love to have fun, plan out activities and crafts, and get outside! My biggest strengths are my creativity, knowledge of childhood development, communication, and compassion. I’ve dedicated the past 5 years of my life to childcare, having worked with infants, through middle schoolers. I love to join in, and make every learning experience engaging, and exciting. My first 3 years being at a preschool accelerated my skills in lesson planning, quick problem solving, and having eyes on every part of the room. Through working at an ABA company, I’ve been safety care trained, learned how to identify the function of a behavior, and how to respond in a way that promotes trust, safety, and happiness. Regardless of the behavior being good, or maladaptive, I find a way to work through that makes everyone happy. I would love to hone in on my skills to help a families life become a little bit easier, and happier.
