Delia R.|Portland, ME

$15-30/hr • 10 yrs exp • 33 yrs old

Responsible, Fun, & Caring Nanny

Avg response < 9 hrs

Hello! Are you in need of a responsible, fun, and caring Nanny? Please look no further! I love kids and have experience with all ages, (infant-preteen) as well as twins. I also have reliable transportation and a great driving record. I like to play games, read stories, do arts and crafts, sing songs, and have outside time when weather permits such activities. Other duties I would be willing to help with include running errands, driving children, light cooking, dishes, laundry, and basic tidying as needed. I would love to hear from anyone who thinks we may be a good match for each other. Thanks!

We've had the privilege of employing Delia for eight months to care for our premature twins. She started with our family when the boys were very young and has continued to impress us throughout their development. Delia has been unbelievably consistent, trustworthy, and has never been late. We have an extremely busy, nontraditional schedule and are so lucky to have such a flexible caregiver. She also uses her "free time" to help us around the house. More importantly than her qualities as an excellent employee, she genuinely cares about the wellbeing and development of our children. Delia reads, plays, and walks with them each moment possible. They love seeing her come through our front door each morning! She is an incredible multitasker and is fully capable of taking care of multiple children. She is very attune to any changes in their behavior and always keeps us updated if she has any concerns. We are moving out of state and are sad she can no longer care for our boys!

Linda was the best person we ever could have found to care our Dad. She cares for our Dad who had dementia and Parkinson's disease. He loved her as she has a great sense of humor and is a great communicator. Plus she's been doing this type of work for decades! she helped us through a very difficult time in our lives and truly became part of our family! My dad passed away in August, otherwise we would still have her with us!

Part-Time Personal Assistant or Family Assistant

Avg response < 5 hrs

Working as a nanny for a dual-career family has allowed me to cross the lines as a family assistant and a personal assistant. My experience as a PA or FA include: running errands, organization of household items (such as clothing, photographs, or books), scheduling and reminding of upcoming events, correspondences, packing and preparing for travel, traveling with family (when needed), arranging of the household, preparing for dinner guests, shopping, transportation (such as picking up family or themselves from the airport), and many other tasks asked. I have a car and I am willing to use it for work. I'm an extremely flexible person, who strives to be organized and prepared, as well as a problem solver. Ideally, I love helping people, and working as FA or PA allows me to be not only challenged, but to know I'm a second set of hands to help out.

Hi! I am an easygoing, optimistic 21-year-old; I have been babysitting on and off since I was 16 years old, and always have had the best time doing so! One of my favorite aspects of childcare is the element of creativity possible. Creative expression is so crucial to the development of kids of all ages, and not to mention fun! As an artist, I have no shortage of ideas to bring to the table. With me, your kids will have both a repsonsible, watchful eye, and a fun-loving sitter. In addition to childcare, I am also more than willing to complete other household tasks, care for pets, and/or run errands. Going with the flow & multitasking are my specialty!

Crafty Sitter

Avg response < 24 hrs

For the past 9 years I have cared for children, my strategy being to engage with and create fun memories every day. I love to teach sewing and embroidery, though I am up for any craft. I also look for ways to engage with children who aren't wild about crafting through baking, learning a card game, and really anything that interests them. I understand the importance of keeping up with routines and schedules, and know how to be flexible with last minute changes to plans. I'm fairly confident with cooking, especially if there is a recipe to follow! Additionally, I am happy to help around the house and run errands.
