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!

Hi, I’m Abby! I have 9 years of nanny and babysitting experience, and caring for children has always been something I genuinely love. As the oldest of four sisters and now a stay-at-home mom to my daughter, nurturing little ones has been such a natural and joyful part of my life. I’m currently looking for a part-time nanny position where I would bring my daughter along. I truly believe this creates such a sweet opportunity for friendship, social development, and shared play. I’m intentional about keeping days structured, engaging, and full of creativity — whether that’s crafts, outdoor time, story time, or fun little outings. I have reliable transportation, am comfortable with dogs (just allergic to cats!), and am happy to help however I can to make your days run smoothly. I’d love to meet ahead of time to make sure we’re a great fit. References are available upon request — I can’t wait to connect with your family!

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!

Hi! My name is Angela and a little about me is that I am currently a freshman undergraduate student at UNO going into Occupational Therapy for pediatrics with a major in Public Relations!I love to be active and be busy wether it’s hanging out with friends, traveling, working or volunteering, doing some yoga or going on a run to of course hanging out and spending time with my family. A fun fact about me is that I am also bilingual and can speak Spanish and I am learning sign language.A little bit about my background with caregiving is I’ve working in a childcare facility for 3 years with experience with ages 4 months to 12 years although I would say I have the most experience with toddlers to preschool/kindergarten (my favorite ages) and I have been babysitting consistently for two years and also teach kindergartners Sunday school every other Sunday as well. Overall I would absolutely love to look after your littles and make them feel loved, comfortable and safe while with their sitter, I look forward to it!!

Hailey S.

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.

Hi!! I absolutely love being a babysitter because I get to be part of a kid's world - energy, imagination, and little everyday moments that matter. Whether we're building blanket forts, doing crafts, playing outside, or winding down with a movie, I love creating a space where kids feel safe, happy, and totally themselves. I have experience caring for kids of all ages, from infants to school age, and I am comfortable with juggling multiple kiddos and their different needs. I've helped with everything from snack time and bedtime routines to keeping the kids entertained. I have previously worked at a daycare and love to make fun lesson plans while also creating a space for their imagination to flourish. I am someone who is upbeat, attentive, and patient. I'm big on safety while still making sure the kids have fun and feel cared for. I'm great at staying calm in busy moments and communicating clearly with both kids and parents. I am CPR/First Aid certified, and always aim to be someone families can fully trust and rely on. I am a Christian, so if families are also Christian, I love to incorporate different bible stories in the day or worship music playing in the background. I love to play games with the kids, keep things running smoothly, having the kids be involved with everything, and wanting the kids to learn something new each day!!
