Hi! My name is Brenda and I graduated from UMaine in 2022 with a degree in Child Development and Family Development with a concentration in Early Childhood Education. I’ve been working in childcare for almost two years. I work with 2-3 year olds mostly. I love what I do and I love children.

Brenda is the best! It’s so nice to know your children are cared for, loved and safe while you are away. Our oldest asked if she could live with us all the time :)

Hi! I’m Cait. I have extensive experience caring for children, especially toddlers and older. I’ve been babysitting my younger sister, who is now six, since she was born, and I also took on many babysitting jobs for family friends throughout high school. I’m currently in a doctoral program for pediatric occupational therapy and am CPR certified. I’m also trained in the use of EpiPens and Narcan, and I hold a HIPAA certification among a few others required for school. I’ve had my driver’s license for nearly 10 years and have a clean driving record. When it comes to activities, I love staying active with kids, whether it’s playing outdoors, creating fun indoor games, or coming up with imaginative ways to keep them engaged. I also have plenty of experience with video games from growing up with my cousins, so I can join in on those too! I’m happy to help with homework, cooking, light cleaning, and general household support. I also have experience with pet sitting, including overnight stays, daily walks, and feeding routines. I used to pet sit through Rover during my undergraduate years. As for household upkeep, I’m comfortable with basic tasks like doing dishes, tidying play and living areas, vacuuming, mopping, sweeping, laundry, making beds, and cleaning up any little messes that may happen. I don’t bring my own cleaning supplies, as I like to follow each family’s preference for natural or chemical products to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety.

Availability: looking for primarily evenings/date nights Hello Parents! My name is Courtney and I'm currently an ICU nurse. I have been working as a nanny off Urbansitter for about 8 years and absolutely I love it! I think my favorite part about being a nanny so far has been being a positive role model for young kids. Currently I am working on finishing nursing school and currently I have my EMT license and am BLS certified. Most recently I worked as an EMT at a summer camp these past two summers. By having many different types of childcare jobs I have had the opportunity to work with all age groups from 4 weeks- 16 years old. I am excited to meet more families in the area and if you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out! Frequently Asked Questions: What do I expect from parents? Good communication and being honest with me. This allows me to do the best job possible taking care of your little one :) Are you CPR certified? Yes! Since August 2021. I also have had my EMT license and BLS certification since March 2022 as well as my ACLS and PALS certifications Are you vaccinated? Yes! I am up to date on all my vaccines including COVID (including first, second, and booster) Will you wear a mask around me and my family? Yes, I can! Just let me know if you would like that What if I come home early? Will I still be charged for the full time? Yes, due to me setting time aside in my schedule for an agreed upon amount of hours I do expect full payment. Please let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to hearing from you :)
