Hi! I’m Alanna — a dependable and caring nanny with several years of experience supporting children from newborn through early elementary ages. I’m currently a full-time nanny for a wonderful 2½-year-old in Upper Dublin, and I truly love what I do. 💛 I use the Juggle app for babysitting for it has a lot more jobs available. I do use this app as an extra avenue, but not as active:) I previously nannied for a family with five children (ages newborn–6), which helped me grow a strong skill set in multitasking, patience, and staying engaged with multiple little personalities at once. I focus on routines, safety, kindness, and turning everyday moments into learning opportunities. Since I finish work between 3-5PM Monday through Friday, I’m available most evenings and weekends for additional care or date nights. I’m new to Columbus and excited to meet more great families through UrbanSitter! A little about me: • CPR & First Aid certified • Reliable 3rd-row Honda Pilot with toddler seat + booster installed • Comfortable with pets (especially dogs!) • Competitive volleyball background — love keeping kids active and moving • Big reader and enjoy incorporating books/storytime into routines • Currently studying Business Management Technologies online • Exploring real estate on the side — very driven and goal-oriented I always do my best to bring positivity, structure, and genuine care into each home. I’m looking forward to helping your family and getting to know your kiddos!
“Good listener, asks smart questions and is very caring. My son had a great time and the whole night time routine was done to the letter.”

Hi! I’m Sidni, a Certified Newborn Care Specialist with over 12 years of professional childcare experience and a special passion for caring for newborns and young infants. I provide both daytime and overnight newborn care, helping families feel supported and confident during those first weeks and months at home. My experience includes caring for singletons and multiples (including twin infants), establishing age-appropriate routines, overnight feedings and diaper changes, bottle preparation and sanitation, newborn laundry and organization, developmental activities such as tummy time, and maintaining detailed feeding and sleep logs. During overnight care, my goal is to give parents the opportunity to get the rest they need while knowing their baby is being cared for by an experienced professional. I can handle feedings throughout the night or bring baby to a breastfeeding parent when needed, then take care of burping, changing, soothing, and settling baby back to sleep. I am NCS certified and Pediatric CPR/First Aid certified, and safe sleep practices are always a priority in my care. I have extensive experience working privately with families and understand how important it is to have someone in your home who is dependable, respectful, nurturing, and trustworthy. I truly love the newborn stage and enjoy helping families navigate it with a little more sleep, support, and peace of mind. I’d love to connect and learn more about your family and the type of newborn care you’re looking for!
“Sidni was great about communicating. She even reached out to verify I had any and all cleaning items needed to do the job requests. She completed all items on my list of house keeping chores. I am Pleased with the work. ”
