Hi! I just graduated in December of 2024 with a business management degree from Chicago State University where I played on their Division 1 soccer team.

Camryn S.
- 3 years paid experience
- < 1 mile

Hello! My name is Camryn, I live in Lincoln, NE and am looking for some babysitting jobs! I currently work at a senior living facility, and previously worked as a lead teacher in an accredited childcare / learning center and am looking for a nanny job. I mainly taught in a preschool / 3 year old classroom, but on top of the 3 years I worked there I also have experience with a variety of ages ranging from 6 weeks to 12 years. I have worked with a lot of kids who are potty training, so I have lots of experience helping with that! I grew up with younger siblings and cousins and was always the babysitter of the family, a role I took on gladly :) I developed and implemented curriculum in my classroom, so I am able to help make sure kids are developmentally ready for school or whatever other stage is next for them! I love animals, and have a cat and dog myself, so a home with pets is no problem. I am also CPR & First Aid certified. Thank you.

Sage C.

Hi, my name is Sage! I currently work full-time as a toddler teacher at a daycare in Omaha. Before moving into this role, I worked as a float teacher, which gave me experience in every classroom, from infants all the way up to school-age kids during the summer. Along with my daycare background, I’ve also babysat and nannied for families with children of all ages, so I’m very comfortable adapting to different routines and needs. I’m in college pursuing a degree in Elementary Education, which reflects my passion for working with kids and supporting their growth. I believe strongly in learning through play and real-life experiences, and I bring that philosophy into my care. At my current daycare, I work with the Lillio curriculum, so I’m familiar with planning developmentally appropriate activities that balance fun, creativity, and structure. Whether it’s helping with homework, keeping little ones entertained with engaging play, or maintaining routines, I aim to create a safe, positive, and encouraging environment. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and give your children quality care while you’re away.

Izzy T.

I am CPR & AED certified (continuously for the past 4 years) and plan to always keep my certifications up to date. For the past 3 years, I’ve worked at the YMCA in both the Child Watch Center and in their All Day Summer Camps. In that time, I’ve been trusted to step into leadership roles across both programs, and I would be happy to provide a recommendation letter from my supervisor. My experience ranges from caring for infants as young as 6 weeks to guiding energetic middle schoolers up to 8th grade. Beyond my YMCA work, I’ve also been babysitting and nannying for many years with several “regular” families who can speak to my reliability and care. During the school year, I am a full-time preschool teacher. I write lesson plans, foster social-emotional growth, and help my students build the foundations for independence, confidence, and kindness. Teaching preschool is truly one of my greatest joys. There is nothing more rewarding than watching little ones discover their voices, share their first friendships, and beam with pride when they master something new. My classroom is a place filled with laughter, love, and curiosity, and I carry that same energy into any childcare role I take on. My standard rate is $20 per hour, with an additional $5 per hour for extra tasks beyond childcare. For transportation, I own a “low back/no back” booster seat, but I am happy to use whichever car seat you provide and feel most comfortable with. I’ve been driving for 3 years with a perfect record, no accidents, no tickets. Kids are my passion. I never tire of watching them grow, explore, and begin to understand the world around them. I know first-hand that having a consistent, nurturing adult presence can set a child up for lifelong success, and I feel truly grateful for every opportunity to be a part of that journey. Please let me know if I can provide any other information, I’d love the chance to support your family.
