An avid lover of art, outdoor adventures, baking, reading, and dance parties. I’m a native Mainer (from mid-coast) but have travelled extensively. I studied for both my undergraduate and masters in Scotland coming home just before the pandemic (great timing). After taking time off from teaching (a co-teacher for Montessori school) to have my own little one and stay home, I am ready to help a family with their own childcare needs! I have much more experience listed on my resume so feel free to ask for it as well as references.

I have three children, ages 20, 23, and 25.I have worked as a "lunch lady" at the local middle school for the past three years.Prior to that I worked at an assisted living facility for eight years.This has allowed me flexibility to raise my children, especially my son who is autistic and does not yet have his driver's license. I have a master's degree in Teaching and Learning, and an undergraduate degree in Social Work.I was out of the work force for many years in order to raise my children so am not currently certified in teaching, but did get a degree from the University of Southern Maine to teach grades K-8, prior to the birth of my first child in 1999. I have worked in a preschool as well as a primary school over the years.My current job hours are 7am-1:30pm, which would allow me to be available for after school care. I absolutely love children and babies and miss having little ones around.I would love to find a position with consistent hours and some flexibility.

I have about two years of babysitting experience, along with many years of caring for my three younger siblings as the oldest child in my family. I have been responsible for supervising daily routines, preparing meals, helping with homework, organizing funactivities, managing bedtime routines, and ensuring a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment.Through these experiences, I have developed strong patience, responsibility, excellent communication skills, and the ability to care for multiple children of different ages and personalities. I am dependable, attentive, and able to stay calm under pressure while creating a positive and engaging environment where children feel safe, cared for, and encouraged to learn and grow.
