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.

Hello!! My name is Jackie; I’m a recent Marietta College graduate earning my BA in strategic communications!! I am offering childcare, senior care, & household services! I’ve been working professionally in childcare the last two years with a nonprofit educational foundation working with children ages 3+. I am CPR certified & have had multiple online state certified trainings. I also have worked privately for families with up to 4 children youngest being 3 mo since I was 15! My responsibilities have included driving to/from daycare, crafts, homework, enrichment activities, & more! While I have more experience in childcare I am comfortable working with seniors as well! I spent time in college volunteering with the local senior center preparing meals, assisting with activities, and helping with transportation duties! I am comfortable with cooking, driving, & other tasks for any age! (I’m also great Euchre partner and a big Disney fan lol!!!) Love all animals especially cats & dogs!
