A little bit about me
Hello, I am Boomer, I am from a small village in Central Pennsylvania. My upbringing was unique because I was raised with 10 other children. Growing up around many younger children inspired a strong sense of responsibility for their well-being. I learned to be patient with them, taught them to do tasks independently, and helped them understand their emotions and those of others around them. As a result of my care for others, I find the well-being, education, and ethics of future generations of utmost importance. I am empathetic and generous, but I run a tight ship. My main goal is to leave a positive, lasting impression with the kids I meet and care for.

A little bit about me
Hi there! I just ended my nannying time with a family who have 2 boys - one 3 and the other 6 years old. Unfortunately, the boys schedules won’t provide the hours I need with them being in full-time summer camp now, so I’m looking for a new family that I can be with long term. We have a great bond and I have a letter of recommendation if you'd like. I love children and have some years beyond my paid experience. I was a ballet instructor for ages 4-9 and previously was a step-mom for 3 years. I’m very good with pets as well. I have a background in the holistic industry as a Licensed Massage Therapist, Polarity/Reiki Practitioner and current Sound Healer. I'm from Falmouth and can navigate driving around Maine well. Ideally, I would love to help with drop offs and pick ups for school, activities/camp and then help around the house in-between to fill in hours - laundry, grocery shopping, dishes, errands etc. Please reach out if you'd like to know more and see if we'd be a good fit!

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Zephyr, I'm 20 years old and I was born and raised in Maine! I’ve been a nanny and babysitter for about four years. I’m a responsible, motivated, and dependable individual who genuinely enjoys working with children and being a positive, stable presence in their daily lives. I’m calm, organized, and very respectful of household routines and boundaries. I understand how important trust, communication, and consistency are when welcoming someone into your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m looking for a live-in position because I value structure, reliability, and being fully present and supportive for the family I work with. I’m happy to help with childcare, daily routines, light household tasks related to the children, and maintaining a safe and positive environment. I’m flexible, quick to learn, and always willing to step in where help is needed! If you have any questions or are interested in speaking more, feel free to reach out! :)

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!
