About Keira

Experience: 5 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I've been watching kids for as long as I can remember and I love doing so. In 2017 I graduated from a boarding school and while I was there I was the go-to babysitter for many of the faculty families on campus. In 2021, I graduated with a BA in biology and anthropology. I am currently attending UMA as part of their nursing program. For the past 5 summers I have been a full time nanny and for 3 years before that I was a camp counselor/horse back ridding instructor. In my experience I have watched kids for over two dozen families with the children's ages ranging from newborn to 14-year-old. Most recently I have cared for children under 4 years of age with a heavy focus on their development love animals and being outside. I'm not one for just letting kids sit around and use technology I'd rather do crafts or play with them especially in the beautiful weather we have up here. Ideally I am looking weekend work this fall/winter. Please do not hesitate to each out with any questions!

Keira is the absolute best. My children adore her, she has been watching them since my daughter was just barely 1 and my son was 4. She has been with my family through my cancer diagnosis, treatment and recovery. She has been so thorough with her care of the kids, flexible with her schedule, going above and beyond with playtime and keeping the house in order, she steers clear of technology and lets them use their imaginations and energy instead. The kids ask to see her when she isn't here and look forward to her every visit. She is attentive to their physical and emotional needs, gentle and softspoken, fun and smart. She feeds them nutritious foods and helps their minds grow. I feel beyond lucky to have found her. I'd hire her again in a heartbeat.
