Hi! My name is Natalie. I am a 25-year-old mom of a newborn, born in December 2025. We looking to have some little friends join us on our daily adventures starting April 2026! My vision was to have 1 to 2 children come to our house in Gorham to have a fun and education filled day with me and my daughter. I have been a childcare provider for the past 6 years and have loved every step of the way. Being a mom has only enhanced my love of caring for children and I'm excited to start working with parents again! I am CPR and first aid certified. I have a lot of experience with swimming supervision and take child safety very seriously. As well as child development. My goal is to form a meaningful relationship with parents where you feel safe and confident leaving your child in my care. As a parent myself, I take my role as a childcare provider very seriously. Please reach out in you are interested or have any questions!
Natalie is incredible! Partnering with her was such a dream. I needed someone who was a direct communicator, self-aware, structured, safe driver, dependable and also able to hold space for where I was at in order to work together 3 days a week with all the hand offs and problem solving. I felt like my kids needed a calm caregiver able to lean in and connect when they were having a hard time, validate their feelings and help redirect (Conscious Parenting stuff!). Natalie was just right for us. She wasn't phased at all by taking my 2 & 4 year old swimming at the pool, the river, the beach (and deal with all the sand!!), The Children's Museum and more. Natalie had an incredible capacity to be present with my kids as they played and got into normal sibling rivalry stuff (aka fighting over toys) and she helped my oldest, especially, express how she felt leaning into creative outlets like drawing it out. If I could, I'd hire Natalie as full-time, in-home care!
