Hello, my name is Mara & I'm currently a sophomore college student majoring in Psychology at UNL. I’m looking to be an occasional sitter & help for individuals/families. I have a passion for working with kids, building positive relationships with the youth, and being an influence in their lives. I have experience babysitting/nannying for multiple families here in Lincoln! I have previously worked in an early childhood daycare center for a year in 2022-2023 & and have prior experience working in an environment with all ages as well. As of now, other positions that I hold that include working alongside children (and require background checks before acquiring the position, that to which I have documentation of) I volunteer with the RFK summer camp & mentoring program as well as participate in the America Counts/Reads program as a student tutor within selected elementary schools in town. Within the student tutor position, Read more we are expected to assist individual or small groups of students (K-5) who need extra support specifically in areas of Math & Reading. Some certifications include that I’m fully background screened, take part in camp counselor & mentor training to mentor foster care kids through RFK. I also have training in First Aid/CPR/AED but working to get my certificate renewed as it expires every two to three years. Not to mention, in order to support the funding for my education and living expenses, I also serve at a restaurant as a part-time job. Some other unrelated certifications happens to be Food Handlers Permit & ServSafe Alcohol training (restaurant requires obtaining both permits and has taught me the importance of food handling/safety, how to maintain cleanliness especially of an establishment, judgment on when someone’s impaired, quick decision-making, etc.) I would be more than happy to answer any questions that come up, just to get to know each other more! I have an eagerness to apply my skills wherever I’m placed & I am excited to meet & build a positive relationship with any family that is willing to work with me :)

Trust & safety
