A little bit about me

Hello! I have two decades of child care experience as well as a bachelor’s of science in psychology. I have been a preschool teacher, a nanny and a mom. I love working with children and their families. In order for a position to work, my 3 year old son will need to accompany me. I am hoping to find a placement where all the children benefit from the positive socialization.

"Teresa worked with our family for almost 5 yrs, caring for our three children from the time they weee 6 months, 2 years, and 8 years old. She is dependable, professional, warm and friendly and truly became a part of our family. She provided our kids a safe and nurturing, environment because of her motherly nature and years of experience She planned engaging age- appropriate activities, did amazing arts and crafts with kids, helped with homework and managed pick ups and drop-offs. We had complete peace of mind when we are away knowing that she was always conscious of their safety and well- being. She traveled with our family on occasions. She has been nothing short of a godsend- my kids still stay in touch with her. It will be a blessing for any family to have her as a nanny!"

A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Libby! I am an undergraduate student at the University of Maine; I am studying Communication Sciences and Disorders, as well as Neuroscience and Psychology. I currently hold certifications in CPR (pediatric and adult), First Aid, Health & Safety, as well as my Behavioral Health Professional Certification. I love working with children, and hope to become a Speech-Language Pathologist in the future. I feel that one of my greatest strengths when working with children is my ability to meet them where they are at- whether on a day-day basis, or at their developmental level.

"Having Anastasia in our home was an absolute delight. She is a caring, responsible, and reliable nanny who I can’t recommend enough. In the year she was employed with us our two boys developed a firm understanding of level one piano from scratch. Her experience working at the boys and girls club also made her patience communication, first aid, tutoring, and homework help valuable assets. Anastasia was also a huge help with the cleaning around the house. My kids especially loved her because she made it a point to make every activity (even cleaning) fun for my kids. Having Anastasia as our nanny took such a load off of my shoulders and I will never forget what she has done for my family."
