Destini B., Babysitter in Emerald, NE 68528 with 3 years of paid experience

I love babysitting because I love being with kids and leaving a positive impact on their lives. I have always had little siblings to babysit and most of the time they were fun to watch so that is why I love babysitting. I have also watched children in the mornings while parents were at work. I have CPR and First-Aid certification which has been recently redone and passed.

Aryssa S., Babysitter in Emerald, NE 68528 with 5 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Aryssa Shonka, and I’m 24 years old. I’m available for nannying and babysitting in Lincoln and the surrounding areas. I’m also a mom of two children, which has given me a great deal of hands-on experience with children and their everyday needs. In total, I have 13 years of experience working with children and older adults, including 6 years of professional experience. I have experience caring for children of all ages, including children on the autism spectrum, and I’m comfortable adapting to each child’s individual needs, routines, and personalities. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with household tasks as needed and discussed during the interview and hiring process. For longer-term positions, I do prefer having a written contract so that expectations, responsibilities, scheduling, and compensation are clear for everyone. I am CPR and First Aid certified for all ages and take pride in providing a safe, caring, and dependable environment for the families I work with. I’d love the opportunity to learn more about your childcare needs and see if I’d be a good fit for your family!

Kenzie S., Babysitter in Emerald, NE 68528 with 3 years of paid experience

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and being a positive, caring person in their lives. I love watching little kids learn and grow, helping them explore their interests, and encouraging them to use their imagination. Whether we are playing outside, doing crafts, reading, or coming up with our own games, I enjoy creating a fun and safe environment where kids can be themselves. I have been nannying for almost two years for the same family, which has given me a lot of experience caring for children and becoming someone they can trust and depend on. As the children have gotten older, they don’t need me as much, so I am looking for a new family to care for. Before nannying, I babysat for several local families throughout high school, primarily on weekends. I am also a CNA and currently work part-time in a hospital. My healthcare experience has taught me how important it is to be patient, responsible, attentive, and prepared for unexpected situations. I am CPR certified as well, which gives families additional peace of mind knowing that their children are in the care of someone with healthcare training and safety experience. Most importantly, I truly enjoy working with children and building relationships with them. I would love the opportunity to become someone a family can trust while providing their children with safe, fun, and meaningful experiences.

Shania J., Babysitter in Emerald, NE 68528 with 3 years of paid experience

Hello my name is Shania! I love to work with children! I am currently attending to UNL to further my degree in criminal justice and child youth and family sciences. I am very family oriented! I currently work as a caregiver at a nursing home at the Lexington Retirement home! & I love being around people! & I watch my cousins all the time & I enjoy doing athletic and creative things! As the youngest of three older sisters I just think I tended to enjoy playing and watching little kids! I am very adventurous, easy going, & caring! If you were to ask any family members or my friends about time they would all say the same thing that I am dependable, caring, smiling,& just always carrying around good energy. The reason why I started a profile on Sittercity was because I realized I really do have a passion of helping others & I really do enjoy children! That’s why I chose the path of criminal justice and also child youth and family sciences. Helping families is something all I care about. I’n the past I’ve been in programs like teammates for about 10 years. Helping younger children, mentoring, and being mentored myself. I hope I can help many people in many ways that I can!

Syble H., Babysitter in Emerald, NE 68528 with 10 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Syble Heffernan, and I have 10+ years of experience caring for children of all ages. My experience caring for children began in high school as a babysitter and private swim lesson instructor. After moving to Lincoln in college, I continued this work as a member of the Before-and-After School Program for Northeast YMCA, then Trinity Infant and Childcare, where I cared for and helped implement early childhood education curriculum to children from infant to pre-teen. This past school year, I became a certified substitute teacher and started substitute teaching for all grade levels within Lincoln Public Schools (including pre-K). I also have experience working with middle and high school students as an after-school creative writing and spoken word poetry teaching artist. Additionally, I nannied full-time for two children (ages 9 and 6) during summer 2022, and part-time for the same two children (ages 12 and 9) in summer 2025. I have had countless babysitting jobs, including for larger group jobs of up to 10 children. I have a reliable vehicle and driver's license and am CPR and First-Aid Certified. I am comfortable with light housekeeping, running errands, drop-off/pick-up, pet care, and preparing simple meals, and I have experience accommodating children with food allergies. I am passionate about early childhood education and development, and I provide intentional, engaging, child-focused care. I have experience working with neurodivergent children, and am skilled in following individualized approaches to create the most supportive environment for the child's development, and build a positive relationship with them. I value an environment where children are not only being cared for, but also learning new things and making fun, lasting memories! This summer, I am looking for a full or part-time nanny job in Lincoln, as well as babysitting jobs as available. I will be unavailable the weeks of July 13-17 and July 27-31 due to pre-planned travel, but I am happy to help find another reliable nanny to cover for me during that time. I would love to get to know you and your children to see if we would be a good fit!
