A little bit about me

My name is Dayanna Wells, and I’m currently a Pre-Law student at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy working with children and creating a safe, fun, and positive environment for them. I find it so rewarding to build connections with kids, help them learn, and support families by giving parents peace of mind.

I bring two years of hands-on experience working at a daycare, where I cared for children of different ages, assisted with activities, and ensured their safety throughout the day. This gave me a strong foundation in child care and the ability to handle different situations with patience and responsibility.

Along with my experience, I have strong communication, multitasking, and problem-solving skills. I know how to organize age-appropriate activities, follow daily routines, and provide dependable supervision. My background has prepared me to be reliable, caring, and attentive to children’s needs while keeping things structured and fun.

A little bit about me

Hello! I’m Alison Arrigueno originally from Overland, Kansas. I’ve been caring for children since I was 14 years old, and I’m a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), which has equipped me with valuable knowledge in health, safety, and attentive caregiving.

In addition to my childcare background, I currently work as a loan server, where I manage client communications, organize sensitive financial records, and ensure smooth processing of loan files—skills that reflect my reliability, attention to detail, and professionalism.

I also have a strong passion for cooking and truly enjoy preparing healthy and fun meals for kids. More than anything, I have a deep love for working with children and supporting families. Being a steady, positive presence in a child’s life is something I’m incredibly passionate about.

I would be so grateful for the opportunity to interview and share more about how I could support your family. —I hope to connect soon!

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Lincoln, NE

Before beginning the search for a babysitter, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a babysitter is the right choice for your child care needs. There are lots of benefits to hiring a babysitter such as getting the flexibility of having some more time for yourself or with your partner. When hiring a babysitter, first, you should explore the differences between a nanny and a babysitter. If you’re looking for occasional child care, babysitters are the right choice for you, but if you’re looking for more frequent care, a nanny may be better for your needs.

From there, you can think about what you expect your babysitter to handle so that you can create a profile for nannies to reach out to you. The boundaries for babysitters’ duties can vary from family to family. However, in general, a babysitter is responsible for making sure your kids’ needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example to housekeeping, laundry, or meal preparation, it’s good practice to communicate these expectations with your babysitter before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location in Lincoln can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Lincoln Babysitter Interviews

Once you start connecting with prospective babysitters, the next step is to conduct an interview. To make things a bit easier, here’s a list of some babysitter interview questions to consider asking:

  • Do you have experience being a babysitter?
  • What sort of household tasks are you open and comfortable doing?
  • Do you have any references?
  • Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in Nebraska?
  • Do you have a Nebraska driver’s license? Do you own a car?
  • How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?

During the hiring process, it’s essential to ask for references and by asking their references questions you gain a better understanding of they will fit in your family. As you get closer to hiring a nanny, be sure to run a background check to ensure your kids are in good hands. When evaluating a babysitter that you’re considering hiring, make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your babysitter. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around babysitter responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming!

And of course, as you learn how to hire a babysitter, Nanny Lane's nanny services are here to help you along the way.
