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!

Hi, I’m Abby! I have 9 years of nanny and babysitting experience, and caring for children has always been something I genuinely love. As the oldest of four sisters and now a stay-at-home mom to my daughter, nurturing little ones has been such a natural and joyful part of my life. I’m currently looking for a part-time nanny position where I would bring my daughter along. I truly believe this creates such a sweet opportunity for friendship, social development, and shared play. I’m intentional about keeping days structured, engaging, and full of creativity — whether that’s crafts, outdoor time, story time, or fun little outings. I have reliable transportation, am comfortable with dogs (just allergic to cats!), and am happy to help however I can to make your days run smoothly. I’d love to meet ahead of time to make sure we’re a great fit. References are available upon request — I can’t wait to connect with your family!

Hi there! I'm Hailey, a 26-year-old living in Blackstone, Omaha. I’ve worked with infants, teens and every age in between, including children who have physical and developmental disabilities. I’m fully vaccinated and CPR, First Aid, AED and MANDT certified. I enjoy the finer things in life — playing and snack time! My specialities include outdoor adventures, coloring, Mario Kart, dolls, board games and more. I also love recreational outings! I’m not the type of babysitter who will throw on a movie and play on my phone. I’m currently seeking occasional babysitting jobs because I have the time and love kids! I work full time as an art instructor for adults with developmental disabilities. Additionally, I’m a poetry slam coach for high school students. In the summer, my Saturdays are spent swinging in the trees as a zipline instructor. My childcare experience includes working at two daycares, as a kindergarten para, as a swimming lesson instructor and as a camp counselor. When I'm not working you can usually find me at church, on a hike, writing slam poetry or standup comedy, or spending time with my friends. As a creative, high energy individual, I'll be able to keep up with whatever your children are up to each day.

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!

*Background check available to be sent upon request* Working with children and gaining their (and their parent's!) trust is a huge privilege. It's an honor to work with families and teach, lead, and inspire kids to become their best selves. I love developing relationships with children and watching as their personalities develop, and their resilience and confidence grow. I have been providing childcare since I was 14 years old and have been working as a full-time nanny since the beginning of the year for a sweet little girl. I have experience with infants, toddlers, and elementary aged children. I have also worked with children in a professional setting as a case manager and child advocate. In this role I worked with children to make sure their physical and emotional needs were being met, and I also promoted normalcy and play while the children were living at a shelter. I planned and led many weekly activities, events, and holiday celebrations for the children. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have received gold standard training from the Center on Children, Family and the Law which focused on many topics such as child development and safe sleep. I am excited to work with families one on one and help them in feel confident and at peace about their childcare!
