Breanna La Vista
$20 per hour for 1 child

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. I also have personal experience meeting the needs of a toddler and a newborn, so I understand how important patience, routine, and gentle care are for little ones. I’m passionate about helping children learn and grow through play, creativity, and structure. Families describe me as responsible, dependable, and caring. Whether it’s meal prep, nap routines, or playtime, I’m dedicated to providing the best care possible and making parents feel at ease knowing their children are in good hands.

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.
