Childcare & Nanny Care

Thoughtful, dependable in-home childcare built around each child's unique personality, developmental needs, and family routines. Whether your family needs occasional support, regularly scheduled care, or an extra set of hands during a busy season, White Mountain Nanny provides a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, respected, and supported.

Grounded in trauma-informed, strengths-based practices, care emphasizes meaningful connection, emotional regulation, positive guidance, age-appropriate activities, and consistency with your family's preferences and parenting approach. Services are available for infants through school-aged children, including those who benefit from additional behavioral, emotional, or developmental support.

Flexible scheduling includes part-time, full-day, short-term, and occasional care for local families and visitors throughout the Mount Washington Valley and western Maine.

Vacation & Seasonal Childcare

Whether you're visiting the White Mountains for a family getaway, enjoying ski season, attending a wedding, or navigating school vacations and holiday schedules, White Mountain Nanny offers dependable childcare that fits into your plans.

Care is provided in private homes, vacation rentals, hotels, and other appropriate accommodations, allowing children to remain comfortable in familiar surroundings while parents and caregivers enjoy some well-deserved time to themselves.

From a few hours on the slopes or an evening out to extended vacation coverage, services are thoughtfully tailored to your family's needs, children's ages, and daily routines. Local families, seasonal residents, and visitors are equally welcome.

Infant Care & New Baby Bundles

The early weeks and months with a new baby can be beautiful, exhausting, emotional, and full of adjustments. White Mountain Nanny offers gentle, individualized newborn and infant care to help families feel supported as they settle into this new chapter.

Support may include feeding assistance, diapering, soothing, supervised contact naps, developmentally appropriate interaction, establishing flexible routines, and providing attentive care while parents rest, attend appointments, or tend to other responsibilities.

New Baby Bundles offer flexible blocks of care designed around your family's changing needs, whether you're looking for occasional relief, an extra set of experienced hands, or consistent support during the postpartum transition.

With an emphasis on responsive caregiving, safe sleep practices, bonding, and respect for each family's choices, the goal is simple: to help parents feel supported, babies feel secure, and everyone find a little more breathing room.

Pet Care & In-Home Pet Sitting

Because pets are family, too.

White Mountain Nanny provides dependable, compassionate pet care that allows your animals to remain comfortable in their own homes while you're away. Whether you need a quick check-in, daily visits, extended daytime companionship, or overnight care, services are tailored to your pet's personality, routines, and individual needs.

Care may include feeding, fresh water, walks, outdoor breaks, playtime, companionship, medication administration as directed and within the scope of non-veterinary care, and regular updates for peace of mind.

With extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including seniors and animals who benefit from extra patience and reassurance, the focus is always on safety, consistency, and treating every pet like a valued member of the family.

Sick Day & Household Support (Non-Medical)

Sometimes, when you're not feeling your best, even the smallest responsibilities can feel overwhelming. White Mountain Nanny offers practical, compassionate assistance to help individuals and families manage everyday essentials while they focus on resting and recovering.

Support may include pharmacy and grocery pickups, essential errands, pet care, light household tasks related to immediate needs, and brief wellness check-ins.

Whether you're recovering from an illness, managing a temporary setback, or simply need an extra set of hands, the goal is to ease some of the day's responsibilities without adding to your stress.

Services are strictly non-medical and do not include nursing, medical assessments, or clinical care.

Respite Care for Children, Teens & Adults (Non-Medical)

Caring for someone who requires ongoing supervision, individualized support, or additional assistance can be deeply meaningful, but it can also be demanding. Every caregiver deserves opportunities to rest, attend to personal responsibilities, and recharge, knowing their loved one is in capable, compassionate hands.

White Mountain Nanny provides individualized, one-on-one, non-medical respite support for children, adolescents, and adults, including individuals with developmental disabilities, emotional or behavioral challenges, and other support needs.

Drawing on extensive professional experience in child welfare, therapeutic foster care, and community-based support services, care is grounded in trauma-informed, strengths-based practices that prioritize dignity, safety, meaningful engagement, emotional regulation, and personal choice.

Services are tailored to the individual's abilities, preferences, established routines, and supervision needs, while encouraging independence and maintaining a respectful, supportive environment.

Whether respite is needed occasionally or on a recurring basis, the goal is to provide caregivers with meaningful relief while ensuring their loved one feels valued, understood, and supported.

All respite services are non-medical and subject to an individualized assessment to ensure needs can be safely and appropriately supported.

Parenting Support & Coaching

Parenting doesn't come with a universal instruction manual, and even the most devoted caregivers encounter challenges along the way. Sometimes, a fresh perspective, practical strategies, and a little encouragement can make a meaningful difference.

As a certified provider of Triple P (Positive Parenting Program), White Mountain Nanny offers evidence-informed parenting support designed to help parents and caregivers strengthen relationships, build confidence, and navigate everyday challenges with greater understanding and consistency.

Support may focus on positive communication, setting developmentally appropriate expectations, establishing routines, responding to challenging behaviors, encouraging emotional regulation, and building on the strengths already present within the family.

Drawing on professional experience supporting children and families through complex circumstances, the approach is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and respectful of each family's values, circumstances, and goals.

The purpose isn't to tell families how to parent. It's to help them discover practical tools that work for their children, their relationships, and their everyday lives.

Parenting support is educational and coaching-based and does not replace mental health treatment or family therapy.
