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!

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!

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!!

I have worked in child care centers for 7 years now! I have been a lead teacher for 4 years. I am CPR trained and have my certification in child development from Metropolitan community college. I have worked with 6-week-olds to 4-year-olds, but I'm willing to work with older kids too. I absolutely love children. It's so amazing how fast their skills develop and how much wonder they have for the world. They always keep work interesting! I would love to help keep your little one safe, happy, and well cared for.

☆♡Hello! My name is Stephanie J Palma. I'm a 2025 Wayne State College graduate with a bachelors degree in Communications, Arts, and Film. As moving from a small town to a big city, I yearn for community. Being the eldest out of 4 in a Hispanic household is where my experience started. My parents worked all the time so it was up to me to take initiative and responsibility to be their primary caretaker. I have also done independent babysitting, and experience in Daycare. Those experiences made me into the caring, independent woman I am today. I went into college undecided, and took classes from psychology, business, education, to broaden my choices and expand my knowledge. I'm eager to learn and that has not changed even after graduation. I took it upon myself to be FIRSTAID and CPR certified in March. I love to cook, bake, clean, craft, read, bike, walk, DOGS AND CATS, hangout with friends, watch movies, play video games, dress up, go swimming and always open to trying new things! ♡☆
