A little bit about me

I have been babysitting since I was 12 and it would be 4 or 5 kids at a time. I come from a big family where my youngest sibling is 4, there is 6 of us, and I have been helping my mother with them for there whole life. I always try to give the kids and the parents the best experience possible. Along with playing and just hanging out with them I also clean up around the house and general maintenance because my mother taught me that nothing is better than coming home from a long night out to a clean house and happy children.

A little bit about me

My name is Isabella and I am a first year law student at UNL. I am aspiring in a career where I represent children in the legal field. I am interested in babysitting in order to earn some extra money to help support me this school year.
I have years of experience, as I’ve been babysitting my cousins, neighbor's children, and for family friends since I was 14. 1 also did volunteer work at my church's nursery, worked my winter break at my aunt's daycare, and the majority of my summer this year was spent watching my three and one year old nephew.
I absolutely adore kids and my top priority is their safety.

A little bit about me

I am CPR & AED certified for the past 4 years and plan to keep my certification valid. I have many more certifications like Power to Protect, Safe Sleep/Preventing Abusive Head Trauma and completed Early Learning Guidelines. I’ve worked at the YMCA for 3 years in the Child Watch Center and spent two summers leading full-day summer camps. In that time, I’ve moved into leadership roles in both positions and can provide a recommendation letter from my boss. My experience spans caring for infants as young as 6 weeks to children in 8th grade, along with many years of babysitting for regular families.. I’ve been driving for three years and have maintained a perfect record with no accidents or tickets. Kids are my passion — I never tire of watching them discover who they are and navigate the world. I know firsthand that a constant, nurturing adult presence can set a child up for lifelong success, and I feel lucky to be even a small part of that journey.
