Hello Families! I'm a reliable and flexible babysitter with years of experience. I have experience with children as young as 10 months and as old as 16 years of age. I have babysat 4 siblings for about 10 years, until they didn't need a babysitter any more. I enjoy play time with kids, reading kids books and also helping with homework. I like to spend time outside with children especially during nice weather. Light house duties like meal prep, cooking, laundry, bedroom pickup and cleaning are welcome. I own a vehicle. I am a non-smoker. I am usually available Mondays-Fridays after 4:30pm and anytime on weekends. I will be happy to provide references upon request.

We had a fantastic first experience with Donna and are so grateful for the wonderful care she provided for our son! She was very responsive and accommodating with our short-notice request, which I really appreciated. This was our first time using a sitter, so I was a bit nervous reaching out. I immediately felt at ease with Donna from our first interaction. She came ready with books to read and games to play. Our son had such a fun evening with her and is already asking when she can come back! We’ll absolutely be reaching out to Donna again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and engaging sitter. Thank you so much, Donna!

Hey! I'm Lauryn, though I go by Lali (pronounced lolly, like a lollypop:). I absolutely love kids! I'm currently majoring in social work, because I'm really passionate about children growing up in a positive environment, something I would love to help provide for your kids. I'm good at cooking, cleaning, instructing, driving and following instruction. I love to have fun! I enjoy taking kids to the park, doing crafts, eating ice cream and playing imaginary, board and card games. While entertainment is a specialty of mine, I also understand that keeping on schedule is important - dinnertime means dinnertime, not anything else. I look forward to working with you!

I am a very active and fun person and I definitely reflect that when working with kids. I am in graduate school at UNMC currently. I would consider myself a responsible and trustworthy person. I also have experience working with kids through being a soccer coach, nannying, and afterschool care. I have a pretty busy schedule with school but am willing to accommodate your needs as best as possible!

Hi! I’m Hailey, an active, outdoorsy sitter who would love to help your kids have an adventure-filled summer. I’ve worked with children of all ages and abilities, with a strong focus on providing safe, engaging experiences. I recently moved back to Nebraska and now work as a nature-based learning facilitator, supporting kids (ages 1-13) in outdoor exploration on a farm. I also pet sit, so I’m very comfortable with animals. My experience includes managing and guiding high ropes course adventures, coaching youth slam poetry (big on confidence + creativity) and teaching swim lessons. Would love to connect!

Great with my kids, my eldest took to her the most and enjoyed her company. Was on time and gave me updates if anything happened or texted me back quickly if I asked for a update while I was out. My experience with her was overall good and I'd recommend her as a babysitter. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because after her last babysitting job, she said she would be available to babysit one more time and the day before she had to cancel. Which I totally understand, so we re-scheduled. On the re-scheduled day, she canceled again, due to having too much on her plate with a full time job, a competition she was in and an additional job. While this is all completely understandable, this was during my husband's deployment and I depended on her to get groceries every week or so. I tried texting her telling her it was ok and asked further about her schedule to see if she could spare 2 hours for me to get food but I never got a response and haven't heard from her since. If she had told me sooner about not being available (2 weeks prior before her last message), I could have found someone else and gotten things done when I needed them done. I would have loved if we stayed in contact and kept up babysitting whenever she was able but lack of management of the many things she had going on in her life and the foresight of when she might be overwhelmed with all those things, ultimately ended our correspondence sooner than I would have liked.
