Sitter in Portland, Maine

Dear Reader, I am Shawn Elayne, an elementary educator from Maine with over 19 years of experience in working with children. My background is diverse and unique, with roles ranging from a live-in private educator/nanny on a sailboat in the Adriatic Sea, a Kid wrangler on small cruise ships in Alaska and Hawaii, to a tour nanny for traveling musicians, and a live-in nanny for a private estate. I have also provided babysitting services for various events all around the world, such as hotels, weddings, birthday parties, festivals, sick days, overnights, and after-school hours. Besides childcare, I have extensive experience in the education field. I have worked as a teacher in various countries such as Malawi, the Czech Republic, Bali, and the United States. My diverse experiences have provided me with unique insights into the needs of children from different backgrounds and cultures. Spending time with children ultimately means you are given the opportunity to inspire them to invent, discover, and lead. When spending time with children, rain or shine, I never forget to bring my creativity, stories, and magic. If you're looking for an adaptable sitter who possesses an unmatched experience of working with children, sing out.
