I have always had a connection to kids. I love having small interactions with the neighbor kids, making their day brighter and making them feel extra loved, and I especially love taking care of them and all of their needs in a more formal way. My mom was a single mother to 4 kids and I have always admired her and how capable she was of every little thing. I want to be able to help a family with personal needs. I want to give them experiences I wish my mom had whenever they need it. I have babysat for a handful of family members. I took care daily for about 2 years a newborn. I took care of a 5 year old in new york city for a year. I also was the older child who had to watch over my siblings and make them food, do their laundry, help them with homework and other activities. I also have babysat for a neighbor, their two children were 4 and 6 and really cute. I have skills in meal prep, as well as cooking and entire dinner aligning with their personal food needs. I have driven the kiddos to appointments and playgrounds as well as other fun activities when instructed to do so. I have potty trained for 2 kids. I also have changed diapers, given baths, and tucked in some kiddos. I have helped a few of them with drawing or learning the alphabet as well as school homework. I am a CNA on the side so I worked with a child who needed memory care. I unfortunately am not CPR or FIRST AID certified anymore but I am willing to reinstate those two. I also am very good with cleaning, it is basically my hobby! I would love to watch your kids! I appreciate you considering me.

Hello, I am Alexis and I just moved from Pennsylvania to the Offutt base with my husband a couple weeks ago and am in search of some families to babysit for in the new area. I have experience with children of all ages and backgrounds due to working within the children's program at a church for four years, working with families using this site and being a lead preschool teacher before moving. I love to keep kids actively learning and creating memories outside of playing on electronics and watching tv. Safety is my number one priority when taking care of kids because I fully understand that they are your whole world. I own my own car so transportation is not an issue at all. I am willing to drive the kids to any events or activities. I am more than willing to help out with any cooking or cleaning needed. I love animals so they will not be an issue either. I look forward to getting to work with you.

Nurturing children and supporting families through compassionate, reliable care has been my passion for the past six years. As a current Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) and children’s ministry volunteer at my church, I have experience supporting children’s individual needs, communication, and development. I am patient, calm, and dependable, and I value creating a safe, positive environment where children feel loved and supported. I enjoy engaging children through games, puzzles, outdoor activities, and educational play while encouraging their confidence and independence. Outside of work, I love cooking, going on long drives, and volunteering at church. I am happy to assist with meal preparation and follow household routines and rules to maintain consistency. I hold current CPR and First Aid training certifications and am a skilled swimmer. I value open communication with parents and look forward to building a trusting relationship with your family!

I like working with kids because I get to see them learn new things and grow into their own person. Kids are fun to work with and bring new surprises everyday! In my spare time, I like to spend time with my friends. We like staying in and watching movies. Our newest thing has been making charcuterie boards while making crafts. One thing you should know about me is I am mainly looking for a summer job. I'm open to working more into the full year, but I will also be a full time college student starting in the fall. My skills include communication, understanding, and affirmation. I like teaching kids to communicate how they are feeling and how to try and express it appropriately. They are young and don't understand what to do. I like to give positive encouragement and help them understand why they might be feeling a certain way.

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy working with children and helping them feel safe, happy, and cared for. I have experience babysitting my younger cousins as well as working at a daycare, where I helped with feeding, changing diapers, reading books, planning activities, playing with the children, and making sure they were supervised and safe. These experiences have taught me to be patient, responsible, dependable, and attentive to each child’s needs. I am also CPR certified and comfortable helping with meals and snacks, daily routines, age-appropriate activities, and keeping children engaged and entertained. I enjoy creating a fun and positive environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I am currently working toward finishing college, and after graduation, I plan to become an elementary school teacher because working with children is something I truly enjoy and want to make a career out of.
