Tierney $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 South Bend, NE

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.💜

Caitlyn $15 per hour for 1 child

I'm a graduating senior and college bound athlete looking to get a little supplemental income. I've babysat kids in my neighborhood ages two to ten and up to three kids at a time. What I particularly enjoy about spending time with kids is their adorable giggles, their sense of adventure, and the creative way they view the world. I'm am comfortable doing meal prep, and administering basic first aid (which I have a lot of experience with).
