Natalie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Natalie. I’ve been babysitting and nannying since I was 10 years old, and I’m comfortable caring for kids of all ages. I’m a registered dietitian with a master’s degree in nutrition, and I currently work from home as an Account Manager for Vibrant Wellness Labs. I’m very hands-on and always engaged with the kids, whether that’s playing outside, doing crafts, helping with homework, or keeping them active. I keep a clean, tidy house and am happy to help with household tasks. I’m CPR certified, love playing soccer, walking my dog, and cooking healthy meals.

Hi! My name is Sydney and I recently moved to Columbus, OH from Charlotte, NC. I have spent the past 4 years nannying for 3 families in Charlotte while getting my B.S. in psychology.

Booked by 1 family in Delaware, OH

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.
