A little bit about me
I am a full-time student at SMCC in South Portland Maine earning my degree in Radiology.
I'm looking to nanny part time, as of right now I have class until 11. But when summer comes, I would love a full-time position.
I love to go outside and be active. I am also a member of the women's college basketball team at SMCC, so I understand just how important it is to be active and have fun!
I am 19 years old, I'm also from Vermont. I have been babysitting and nannying for a while now as I use to nanny 4-year-old twin boys all summer, they are now 6! Also, before that I watched two families together. There were two sets of siblings, twin 9 years old boys and an 8-year-old girl with a 9-year-old brother! I watched all four of them every day in summer!
I love kids and enjoy watching them learn and experience new things as their mind grows. I would love to bring the kids to the beach and have lots of time outdoors. Also able to do house day to day chores.

How to Hire a Summer Nanny in Portland, ME

We offer nanny services including background checks, Agency, and nanny payroll. Start by posting a profile with a job description, and soon you can start connecting with nannies who fit your family.
What Is a Summer Nanny?
A summer nanny is a nanny who works during the school break, for the full summer or for part of it. Summer nannies are often teachers, college students, or experienced nannies who prefer seasonal work, so families can find help when school-age children are home during the day.
Common Responsibilities of Summer Nannies in Portland, ME
Summer days are less structured than the school year. A summer nanny plans activities such as park visits, swimming, crafts, and day trips, prepares meals and snacks, and may take children to camps or classes. For younger children, they keep up the usual nap and mealtime routines.
What to Consider Before You Hire
Start your search early, since good summer nannies are booked quickly. Decide your start and end dates, your weekly hours, and whether you need flexibility around camps, vacations, or travel. Be clear about transportation, and about whether you need the nanny to drive. If your dates might change, say so up front.
Summer Nanny Interview Questions
Once you find a promising candidate, invite them for an interview to see if they would be a great fit for your family. Here are some questions you can ask:
- Which dates are you available this summer?
- Are you able to adjust if our dates or hours change?
- What activities would you plan for the children during the day?
- Are you comfortable driving, including to camps and activities?
- Do you have experience with children of our children's ages?
At this stage, request their references and ask their references some questions. After preparing the job offer or contract, we recommend that you run a background check before the start date.
