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. I am entering a graduate program for Human Developmental and Family Sciences at Ohio State University this fall and hoping to find a family to babysit or nanny for! I have experience with infants, toddlers, and older children. I am easy-going, have reliable transportation, a clean driving record, and absolutely love time with children! I also have 4 years of pet sitting services as well.
Hello! My name is Sara and I am excited for this next phase of my life. My husband I have 2 sons we adore who are now in college. I have babysat and provided childcare starting at age 11, and throughout my professional life have always worked with children. From the daycare setting to the K-12 arena, I love children of all ages. Most recently, I have been a substitute teacher in Hilliard Schools. I have also spent time as a caregiver and advocate for seriously ill family members. It was my privilege to help care for them. I am compassionate, kind, reliable and trustworthy. I believe I can care for your children the way you do, so you have freedom and zero worry. I will happily answer any questions you may have. =)

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!
