About Colleen

Experience: 7 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I am a 27-year-old female with many years experience as a care taker for all kinds of individuals. Everyday I push myself to be as patient and creative as possible with the people I am working with. Currently, I am working as a nanny to two boys (6 and 8). I have been working with them since my move to Maine two years ago. I love keeping active and creative at work! Prior to my current employment, I spent 5 years working with children ages 8-22 residential at a special needs school. While here I planned and coordinated many after school programs involving science and art. I took care of all aspects in the home such as cooking, cleaning and hygiene. I also took part in many off campus activities. I was even chosen to go to Disney World 1:1 with a student! I have also worked as a caretaker for an elderly client. On top of this, I also currently work part time as a dog walker! I am a very well rounded, caring and reliable caretaker!

Colleen was a wonderful caretaker for our two kids (ages spanned 2-6). She is patient, kind, responsible, on-time, crafty, safe, and caring. She worked 2 days a week for about a year for us and we were sad to see her move on. We would have her watch the kids again for date nights. She was a great help for our family.
