Hi! I am Kate, I enjoy dancing, photography, music, and being with friends and family. I started babysitting when I was 12 years old and have continued thought the last almost 30 years! I am returning to Urbansitter after taking a few years off after having my own children. I am looking to work nights, weekends, travel, and overnight jobs. When I lived in Chicago from 2009 to 2022, I was a High School teacher until 2010 and then was a career nanny for various families until having my own child in 2019. I worked with many parents including Doctors, Professors, NFL players, and many other high profile parents. The children I nannied for ranged from 7 weeks old to 12 years old in addition to babysitting for over 100 kids throughout the years! Since I am a Stay At Home Mom, I am looking to start babysitting on nights, weekends, for travel, and overnights. I have been a travel nanny for a few families and really enjoy helping while on adventures. I also am very comfortable with newborn care and overnights and am working towards getting my newborn care specialist training.

Booked by 1 family in Pataskala, 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.”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
