Hello Families! I'm a reliable and flexible babysitter with years of experience. I have experience with children as young as 10 months and as old as 16 years of age. I have babysat 4 siblings for about 10 years, until they didn't need a babysitter any more. I enjoy play time with kids, reading kids books and also helping with homework. I like to spend time outside with children especially during nice weather. Light house duties like meal prep, cooking, laundry, bedroom pickup and cleaning are welcome. I own a vehicle. I am a non-smoker. I am usually available Mondays-Fridays after 4:30pm and anytime on weekends. I will be happy to provide references upon request.

We had a fantastic first experience with Donna and are so grateful for the wonderful care she provided for our son! She was very responsive and accommodating with our short-notice request, which I really appreciated. This was our first time using a sitter, so I was a bit nervous reaching out. I immediately felt at ease with Donna from our first interaction. She came ready with books to read and games to play. Our son had such a fun evening with her and is already asking when she can come back! We’ll absolutely be reaching out to Donna again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and engaging sitter. Thank you so much, Donna!

Hi! My name is Taylor and I have three years of teaching experience! I received my Bachelors of Arts in Elementary (k-6) and Special Education (k-12) from Doane University. I most recently obtained my Masters of Education in Curriculum and Instruction in December 2023 and Reading Specialist Endorsement in July 2025. Along with this, I was a member of the women’s basketball team during my undergrad.

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!

I am a dedicated and compassionate caregiver with extensive experience as a parent, grandparent, and former foster parent. Throughout my life, I have cared for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers, and have developed strong skills in providing a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment. My experience includes working with children and individuals with a variety of special needs and behavioral challenges, including ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other developmental, emotional, and mental health conditions. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, structure, and individualized care to help each person thrive. In addition to my caregiving background, I am retired from the healthcare field, where I gained valuable experience supporting the health, safety, and well-being of others. I have received training in First Aid and CPR and understand the importance of responding calmly and appropriately in emergency situations. I am dependable, responsible, and safety-conscious. I have my own reliable transportation and maintain a clean driving record. My years of personal and professional experience have given me the knowledge, flexibility, and compassion needed to provide high-quality care while building positive relationships with children, families, and individuals of all abilities.

Lynda has been an exceptional caregiver for my son for the past two years, handling daily school pickup and weekend childcare with consistency and care. She's always on time, communicates clearly and proactively, and keeps me updated on his eating habits and behavior without me needing to ask. What stands out most is how she handles my son's needs. He has some neurological complexities that require patience, structure, and close attention, especially around routines, diet, and behavior. Lynda manages all of this with genuine attentiveness, and her updates are detailed and helpful, not just a formality. She stays calm when things don't go as planned and never makes me feel like his needs are a burden. As a single parent going through a difficult family transition, having Lynda's steady presence has meant a lot, especially for my son. Through all the changes, she's remained a constant, comforting part of his routine. He's comfortable with her, looks forward to seeing her, and she's become like another grandparent to him. I recommend her without hesitation.

I love experiments and messes with kiddos, don’t worry, we will have it cleaned up before you get home!
