Donna D., Babysitter in Gretna, NE 68028 with 20 years of paid experience

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!

Lauryn W., Babysitter in Gretna, NE 68028 with 6 years of paid experience

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’m committed to cultivating imagination and creativity through hands-on experiences with the world around us. Bachelor of Science degree in Family and Human Development with and emphasis in early childhood education and a passion for parent education. Some of the experiences I have provided include, but are not limited to, having a curriculum for each child’s individual needs, engaging all of their senses in our play, actively engaging with and exploring nature, teaching homeschool, potty training, fostering an environment that encourages and challenges them to grow in social, cognitive, physical, and emotional development, building lego empires and roller coasters, nail-biting checker matches, creative daily outings, themed summer nanny camps, educational overnight trips, camping trips, dance parties, extensive fort/tent building, theological discussions, dramatic games of hide and seek, culinary skill enhancement (I love guiding the kids in baking, cooking, and experimental kitchen time), tutoring for children at all academic levels, writing and performing music, the reading aloud and dramatization of books, and a variety of hands-on art experiences. I love spending as much time outside as possible. Other responsibilities include scheduling and transportation to and from doctor’s appointments, extracurricular activities, school, play dates, and extended stays with children when parents are away. Other responsibilities have also included light housework, meal prep, running errands, organizing, house managing, and traveling with families. I can also assist in establishing and implementing routines and chores in new ways, creating systems that teach children about helping around the house and financial literacy simultaneously. I love traveling, especially to hike new trails with friends. I take a rather holistic approach to life - crunchy/healthy if you will. I love Jesus and my joy and peace come from Him (don’t worry, I definitely don’t push my views). I love experiments and messes with kiddos, don’t worry, we will have it cleaned up before you get home!
