I am elementary educator seeking weekend, school holiday and school vacation employment. 

I routinely care for babies and young children, and come with excellent references.

I am a fit, healthy responsible, empty nester comfortable caring for individuals across the age spectrum.

My work in Vermont public education requires that I have been fingerprinting and background checked via the Vermont Crime Information Center (VCIC) and FBI Criminal History Record Information.

Let me know what your family's needs are and we can see if we're a good match!

Maggie watched our daughter during a wedding weekend and was wonderful. She was communicative, proactive and great with our baby. They played outside, went for walks and followed our preferred schedule. She made us feel very comfortable and we would hire her any time we’re in VT! 

Maggie was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable and at ease, which meant so much to us as parents leaving R. with a sitter while we attended a wedding.

It was immediately clear that Maggie is a seasoned pro when it comes to working with children of all ages. She was thoughtful, attentive, and incredibly prepared. She asked all of the right questions before we left — including things we honestly hadn’t even thought to mention ourselves — which gave us so much confidence that she had everything covered.

Once we left, we were able to truly relax and enjoy the wedding because we knew R. was in such good hands. Maggie was communicative without being overwhelming, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure R. was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of.

She was warm, kind, responsible, and so easy to trust. You can tell that she genuinely loves working with kids, and that experience really shines through. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for little one made the whole experience even better.

We would absolutely recommend Maggie to any family looking for someone dependable, caring, experienced, and trustworthy. We feel so lucky to have found her and would happily have her watch R. again anytime! ❤️

I have know Maggie for going on 20 years; she is an incredibly thoughtful, reliable, hard-working, and caring person who brings much attention to detail. I trust her entirely! 

Ms. Maggie was fantastic, our 4 yo twins had a fantastic time hanging out with her while we vacationed/worked. She brought books and games. She took our girls to a lake for a swim. She fully engaged with them. She was very professional and has excellent emotional intelligence. She knew all the right questions to ask and gave us a download afterwards. We had full confidence and can recommend her without qualifications. We will use her again when we are back in VT.

Maggie was wonderful! She babysat our two children (3yo and 1yo) on two separate evenings during a vacation to Vermont. From the moment she arrived we felt 100% comfortable leaving the kids with her - and they took to her immediately and my 3yo talked about all of her adventures with her when we came back. She was very communicative, both in the days leading up to our stay and during. Would 100% call her again on our next trip! 

Maggie was absolutely wonderful with our son, T. We were traveling from out of state for a wedding, and this was the first time we had ever left him with anyone outside of his grandparents, so finding the right sitter felt like a very big deal to us.

From the beginning, Maggie was warm, kind, prompt, and incredibly easy to communicate with. She immediately put us at ease. It was obvious that she genuinely enjoys spending time with children, and T. had a great time with her. She took him to a local park, kept him busy and happy, and even sent us photos throughout the evening, which meant so much to us as first-time parents navigating a new experience.

Because she was local to the area, she thoughtfully let us know ahead of time that our wedding venue would likely have limited cell service and helped us come up with an alternate contact plan if needed. That level of professionalism and foresight was incredibly appreciated.

What could have felt like a stressful situation—leaving our baby with a new caregiver while traveling—ended up feeling completely seamless thanks to Maggie. We were able to enjoy the wedding knowing T. was safe, cared for, and having fun.

Our only disappointment is that we don’t live closer. We would hire Maggie again without hesitation and highly recommend her to any family looking for a caring, trustworthy, and dependable sitter.

Maggie watched my 8 month old son and another 6 month old while we attended a wedding as well as a half days while we worked from our Airbnb since we were in VT from out of town. She handled caring for 2 kids beautifully. I appreciated her willingness to do contact naps and spend lots of time outside playing and being actively engaged. Would definitely work with Maggie again next time we’re in VT. 

Maggie watched my 3 year old while we went skiing.  She was perfect.  She put our daughter at ease and played with her all day.  She sent pictures to show that the day was going well. She was on time, responsible and the ideal caregiver.   Highly Recommend.   

Maggie watched 4 young kids while we were here on vacation -- she was with us for a day but we wish we had her for the week. So warm, so capable, and clearly prioritized safety. We would be happy to use her again and highly recommend her. 

Maggie saved us last minute when our sitter canceled a few hours before our dinner plans. She was kind, communicative and very sweet with our children. We really appreciated her updates and photos. She was amazing! Would definitely recommend her. 

Maggie did an amazing job caring for our 4 little ones (all 5 and under)! She was very communicative throughout the day. She made us feel very comfortable leaving our kids with her. Highly recommend! 

Maggie was exactly what we needed! Responsible, communicative and caring! Our 1.5 year old loved her and we would hire her again in a heartbeat! She’s a gem ❤️

Maggie was absolutely awesome. She was professional and so engaging with the kids.

As a caregiver for my son when he was young and had some complicated behaviors, Maggie's patience and even- keeled, gentle but firm, sensitive, caring, and attentive nature helped him so much! She built a strong relationship with him due to her way of connecting to him. We have maintained a relationship and later worked in the same school, where those same qualities have given her a reputation of being a phenomenal and effective guide for children's development. She's just an incredibly rock- solid human being and I can't recommend her enough.
