Lauryn W., Babysitter in Council Bluffs, IA 51503 with 6 years of paid experience

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!

Hailey S., Babysitter in Council Bluffs, IA 51503 with 10 years of paid experience

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.

Hi! My name is Angela and a little about me is that I am currently a freshman undergraduate student at UNO going into Occupational Therapy for pediatrics with a major in Public Relations!I love to be active and be busy wether it’s hanging out with friends, traveling, working or volunteering, doing some yoga or going on a run to of course hanging out and spending time with my family. A fun fact about me is that I am also bilingual and can speak Spanish and I am learning sign language.A little bit about my background with caregiving is I’ve working in a childcare facility for 3 years with experience with ages 4 months to 12 years although I would say I have the most experience with toddlers to preschool/kindergarten (my favorite ages) and I have been babysitting consistently for two years and also teach kindergartners Sunday school every other Sunday as well. Overall I would absolutely love to look after your littles and make them feel loved, comfortable and safe while with their sitter, I look forward to it!!

Gabbriele F., Babysitter in Council Bluffs, IA 51503 with 5 years of paid experience

Hello Families, My name is Gabby, and I would love the opportunity to care for your child(ren)! I do live in the DMV area despite the location on my profile. I am a school psychologist and have dedicated my career to supporting children's academic, social, emotional, and behavioral development. In addition to my work in schools, I have over four years of experience working in childcare with a variety of age groups. Additionally, I previously worked in behavior therapy as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), providing one-on-one support to children on the autism spectrum. This experience strengthened my patience, adaptability, and ability to meet each child's unique needs while creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment. Families can count on me to be dependable, nurturing, and attentive. Whether it's engaging in fun activities, maintaining routines, or simply being a caring role model, I strive to make every child feel supported and valued. I understand the importance of communication and will always treat your children with the same care and respect I would want for my own family. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and provide dependable, high-quality care for your children.
