I am a mother and a student. I have a beautiful 9 year old daughter. I very active and a hard worker. I absolutely love reading, and spending time with my family. I like movie, long walks, and the beach. I have many years of sitting as well as tutoring experience mostly for 1st through 6th grades. I absolutely love all kids. I enjoy teaching, playing and making kids laugh. I believe in the importance of children enjoying their childhood because it's the only one they have.
I love pets! I have 4 of my own and care for the community cats outside. I’ll care for your cats like my own and I understand and respect quirks they may have.
“Wonderful and caring person. Thank you for taking care of my loved ones!”
Hello families! My name is Jacinda. I am currently double majoring in international business and Latin American culture/literature at The Ohio State University. I have an associates degree from Westmoreland County Community College. I am a pet friendly sitter with a passion for working with children of all ages. I have worked with children as young as 6 weeks to 13 years old. I enjoy helping children to meet evolving milestones and accomplish their goals. I have worked in childcare facilities for 3 years now though I had much experience babysitting family and friends before that. I can help with many needs such as diapering, meal prep, house chores, and more! I am CPR/First Aid certified as well as have my background clearances. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
Hi! I'm Chandini, I'm a college student at Ohio State studying accounting. I love babysitting and getting to meet new families and people. I have 4 younger cousins who I have taken care of since I was 15 and it's been so fun watching them grow up! I love playing with kids whether its making up games or helping with homework. I mostly watch children 8-13 but I can watch younger kids as well. I am very responsible, I have a scholarship to OSU and I have earned a Big Ten All Academic award as well as a Scholar of Distinction Award while being a Division 1 fencer. I can cook, clean, run errands, and help with laundry! I am super flexible and can't wait to work with you.

"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."
