Hi there! I'm Hailey, a 26-year-old living in Blackstone, Omaha. I’ve worked with infants, teens and every age in between, including children who have physical and developmental disabilities. I’m fully vaccinated and CPR, First Aid, AED and MANDT certified. I enjoy the finer things in life — playing and snack time! My specialities include outdoor adventures, coloring, Mario Kart, dolls, board games and more. I also love recreational outings! I’m not the type of babysitter who will throw on a movie and play on my phone. I’m currently seeking occasional babysitting jobs because I have the time and love kids! I work full time as an art instructor for adults with developmental disabilities. Additionally, I’m a poetry slam coach for high school students. In the summer, my Saturdays are spent swinging in the trees as a zipline instructor. My childcare experience includes working at two daycares, as a kindergarten para, as a swimming lesson instructor and as a camp counselor. When I'm not working you can usually find me at church, on a hike, writing slam poetry or standup comedy, or spending time with my friends. As a creative, high energy individual, I'll be able to keep up with whatever your children are up to each day.

I have been babysitting for about 8 years now. I have worked at a childcare center on base when I lived in California and also did a class in which I actively worked with the kids at the childcare center at my college and made lesson plans and observed children and their developmental skills. I have known that I wanted to work with kids for a long time, which is the reason I have pursued and will keep pursuing an education in childcare. :)
