A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Maxine, and I am a dedicated and loving nanny with years of experience in child care. I specialize in the social and mental development of infants and toddlers, with a leaning toward the Montessori style of educating. I love giving children safe opportunities to engage their natural curiosity while also adhering to a schedule and routine. I also used to work as a dog trainer and love all animals, so pets are a plus! I am fully-vaccinated, I have reliable transportation with a clean driving record, I am CPR & first-aid certified, and I am more than happy to help with cooking, cleaning, and drop-offs/errands while on shift. Let's talk more about how I can best support you and your family!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I've also worked as a summer outdoor school counselor (ages 8-10) and a theater class instructor (ages 7-12).

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

So many things, but ultimately anything that sparks a joy for life! I find living to be a magical adventure, and it is a passion of mine to instill that wonder and love into kids. This can mean anything from exploring outside, creating something new, making fun (and safe) messes, moving our bodies, singing too loud, and feeling anything that needs to be felt.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Is to help families thrive and to encourage children to chase their joy in the world.

My experience with special needs children...

While I have not worked with any neurodivergent children, I have worked closely with children that were considered "problem" kids during that summers that I was a camp counselor. These were elementary school aged children from a school district in South Portland that were already in "gangs", skipping school, cussing - the whole gambit. While a select few kids never warmed up during our weeks together (some trauma is too deep to be undone by a handful of days in the woods), the majority of kids responded so well when they felt Seen. Just talking to kids at their level, trying to understand where they are at and what they are going through, made such a huge difference, and I will hold those kids in my heart forever.
