Heyy! My name is Aileen. I’m an experienced educator with 18 years of working with children, including 13 years as a paraprofessional with the Department of Education supporting students in special education. I also hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and have experience working with children of different learning styles, personalities, and needs. In addition to my school-day experience, I worked for 15 years in an afterschool program as a group leader during the school year and as a summer camp coordinator. In these roles, I planned activities, supported homework time, supervised groups of children, and helped create a safe and positive environment where kids could learn, grow, and have fun. I make it a priority that children feel heard, understood, and cared for while maintaining clear routines and safety at all times. I’m happy to answer any questions and would love the opportunity to support your family.
Hello! My name is Ashlynn and I am going into my senior year at Ohio State University. I work at Ohio State’s childcare center, through which I am CPR and First Aid certified and take care of children 0-5. I have been working there for about 3 years, and seeing the children learn and getting to know them is one of the greatest joys of my life. Outside of the center, I’ve babysat since I was 16. I’m energetic, patient, and most of all, I love kids. My primarily language is English, but I am an ASL double major at school and would love to teach your children some signs if that is something you are open to. I can’t wait to meet your family and see if we’re a great fit :)
Hi! I’m Betsy. I’m a preschool teacher on the UWS and I have 2 children of my own (ages 10 and 12). My background is in theater and I love being silly, storytelling, and arts and crafts! I also love being outdoors and finding fun new adventures! I love animals and I have a Pomeranian named Rusty, who is diabetic. I’m comfortable caring for children and animals who may need special care.

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
