Hi! My name is Breanna, and I’m a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) with hands-on experience caring for both newborns and toddlers. I’ve worked in a daycare setting where I helped create a fun, safe, and nurturing environment for children of various ages.

Tierney Omaha
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Tierney, and I have been working with children for over 5 years now. I am also the oldest of 5 siblings and have a huge family, so kids have always been around. I love working with kiddos and helping as many families as possible. I have a lot of patience and a calm, gentle nature that I believe creates a nurturing environment ☺️. I currently work at a childcare facility in Elkhorn as a Lead Two-Year-Old Teacher. I’m looking for other opportunities during my free time after work! I have worked with children ranging from 6 weeks to about 10 years old. I have the most experience with babies and toddlers, but I get along well with children of all ages! I also have my CPR and First Aid certifications. I am more than willing to cook and do simple household chores if needed. I love arts and crafts, especially setting up fun activities for kids! Cats and dogs are no problem for me, I will add.

Booked by 1 family in Glenwood, IA

I was raised with 4 younger siblings with a mother who had an in home daycare. I learned at a very early age to care for children of all ages. At 16 I nannied for two different families. At, 20 I worked as an assistant teacher with toddlers at Creighton University in the Russell Child Development Center. I became a mother at 21. I had my second child shortly after and left employment to become a stay at home mother. I than started watching family members and friends children within my home. Over the next few years, I gave birth to my last two children. I continued over the years to care for multiple nieces and nephews and friends children in my home. My children are now 20, 19, 17 and 15. I am now 41 years old. I love caring for children and it is so incredibly innate and second nature to me. I would feel honored to help nurture and care for families in need of a reliable and trustworthy caregiver. I recently, in June of 2026, completed my training/testing to become a Registered Behavior Technician(RBT) in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis for children with autism. I’m so excited to grow in this new role! I hope to help families that may struggle to find care with traditional caregivers/babysitters for their children with special needs.💜
