I have worked  with Elizabeth Sage for 12-years as a nanny for Portland Nannies.  During that time I have found Elizabeth to be professional, and exceptional at what she does for people.  Caring not only about the families that she helps, but also about her nannies that she values.   She is an excellent communicator, she has a true talent for “matchmaking” bringing families and nannies together for the love, care and development of the children.  She works tirelessly, always.  She is open, honest, and a joy to work with.  It is a true honor to be a Portland Nanny.

Elizabeth’s application process is extensive, a 10 page thorough evaluation of each nanny’s philosophy on childcare, along with their personality, temperament and skill set education and experience.   After that, she has a thoughtful and insightful interview.  Next she completes background checks, both criminal and driving.  She follows through on calling recommendations.  The nanny packet that she sends each family with nanny information, application, resume, cover letter, is nothing short of STELLAR!  She updates her family postings weekly, they are well written, and capture the heart of each family and what their needs are perfectly.  This helps a potential nanny to know right up front what the job consists of, if it meets the needs of what the nanny is looking for, the location, the job expected, and the package a family will offer.  She sends these postings to her nannies weekly, and she also posts them on her website.  If you are a family looking for a nanny, a household manager, or a babysitter, you are in the right place.

If you live in Maine, or are moving to Maine, Elizabeth Sage, at Portland Nannies, is your go to person to find qualified and exceptional help.   Whatever your need is, Elizabeth will find you the perfect nanny for you.     If you decide, as a parent, to work with Elizabeth, you will know that she is passionate about her agency, she is kind, thoughtful, meticulous and a wonderful connector of people.

If you are lucky enough to be selected as a Portland Nanny (she rejects 75% of applicants) then Elizabeth will always look out for your best interests to find you a family that will truly value you and the important work you do, one that will offer you a complete professional package with both remuneration, holiday pay, bonus pay, sick and vacation time, and she will find a family that respects you and the work you do. Because helping to love and raise someone’s child, IS the most important work that can be done.

Elizabeth Sage is a person that makes everyone feel like the most important person in the room, and that, in and of itself, is a priceless gift.
