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 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. :)

*Background check available to be sent upon request* Working with children and gaining their (and their parent's!) trust is a huge privilege. It's an honor to work with families and teach, lead, and inspire kids to become their best selves. I love developing relationships with children and watching as their personalities develop, and their resilience and confidence grow. I have been providing childcare since I was 14 years old and have been working as a full-time nanny since the beginning of the year for a sweet little girl. I have experience with infants, toddlers, and elementary aged children. I have also worked with children in a professional setting as a case manager and child advocate. In this role I worked with children to make sure their physical and emotional needs were being met, and I also promoted normalcy and play while the children were living at a shelter. I planned and led many weekly activities, events, and holiday celebrations for the children. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have received gold standard training from the Center on Children, Family and the Law which focused on many topics such as child development and safe sleep. I am excited to work with families one on one and help them in feel confident and at peace about their childcare!

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!!

Hi! I’m Breanna — a caring, patient, and reliable sitter with a real love for helping children learn and grow. I’m a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and CPR & First Aid certified, so safety and well-being are always at the heart of what I do. I have three years of experience working as a nanny and additional experience in a daycare setting, where I cared for children of all ages — from infants to school-aged kids. Those years taught me how to balance structure and fun, keep little ones engaged, and create a calm, supportive environment. Whether it’s reading stories, playing outside, doing crafts, or helping with homework, I love keeping kids engaged and learning while having fun. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust, and I take that responsibility to heart — I treat every child I care for as if they were my own. I’d love the chance to get to know your family and be someone you can rely on for consistent, loving care. 💛
