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 :)”
I have two adult children. I currently work as an RN/paraprofessional for individuals with disabilities ages 5-22. When my children were younger I coached several sports teams. I also watched children in my home for several years.
I have experience in childcare as an employee at a summer camp. I have also worked with adolescents with special needs and taken care of my 8 month old niece. I also have plenty of experience caring for animals. I have taken animal science courses and even been employed at an animal hospital. Lastly, I have experience keeping houses tidy and caring for plants.
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 :)
