A little bit about me

I’m Cherish the second oldest of 9 children and a proud mother of 3 amazing kids! I was born and raised in the Kennebunks and am currently moving back to the area to be closer to family and friends.

As I start this next chapter, I’m looking for meaningful part or full-time work in a field I genuinely enjoy—motherhood, growth and keeping a home running smoothly. I love to cook, exercise, be outdoors, create, and plan fun, enriching daily activities for children. My homeschooling experience with my own children has given me a love for hands-on learning, creativity, and making everyday moments meaningful.

I’m a retired local business owner who owned and operated a Kennebunk business for 10\+ years\. I’m now stepping back from the beauty industry to focus on the things that bring me the most joy: family, education, healthy living, nature, home life, helping others.

I’m hoping to find a family where my presence truly makes a difference—a place that feels like a home away from home.

More About Me

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Building things, reading books, gardening, playing games, outdoors time, cooking, arts and crafts, cleaning (my children love to help vacuum, dust, wipe, pick up toys, and more. I make it fun team work and educational!
I enjoy going on adventures and just hanging around the tiny growing free spirits they are!
Typically I’m up for anything.

Kids make messes not to make us mad but to learn about the reactions, responses, repercussions, the concept of control and consequences.. it’s amusing and amazing to be a part of that story.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is ensuring each child feels safe, loved, understood, and supported throughout the day.
As the second oldest of nine siblings, a mother of three, and an experienced caregiver, I understand the importance of listening closely, honoring individual needs, and creating a calm, nurturing environment.

I believe children thrive with a thoughtful balance of routine, structure, freedom, and respect.
I value healthy food and the confidence it can inspire. I love cooking, hosting family gatherings, gardening and inviting children into the process. Preparing meals and including children teaches nutrition, responsibility, direction and reward.

I enjoy offering meaningful experiences beyond technology through outdoors activities , nature, creativity, and hands-on learning.
Supporting children as they explore, grow, and understand the world around them is one of the most rewarding parts of being a mother, sister, daughter, aunt, friend, and caregiver.
