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 Katherine Chavez. I am a 33-I year-old mother of 5 who recently relocated to the Omaha area. I am CPR and first aid certified and am opening up my home to care for children who’s parents who may need special hours or days. I will be available 5 (open 7 for extended hours) days a week from 7 to 7 (open for extended hours). Now a little about myself, I am an outgoing and energetic caregiver, who encourages and fosters children’s creativity and imagination, I do so while teaching and engaging with your child(ren). I will always encourage them to love and express themselves while remaining kind and respectful. I have 8+ professional years working with Children and extensively trained in the mental and behavioral health field, with main focus being on children of all ages. I originally planned on returning to school in 2022 to early 2023 But after thinking long and hard, I decided, I would rather learn from the child Rather than a book. So with that being said, I am available starting immediately and off daily, weekly, and monthly rates. I look forward to speaking with you soon.

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!

Abby was amazing with my two kiddos. Very respectful and kind! She took them places and spent quality time with them. From making them dinner, picking them up from school, and even going fishing! We enjoyed our time with her and really miss her! If we could have taken her when we moved, we would have!

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 can also provide a background check and drug screen if needed as I am required to get one every year through school.

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!!
