Sara $20 per hour for 1 child

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. =)

Booked by 1 family in Powell, 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.”
