Cynthia $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Cynthia! I have a background in psychology/ education and a natural ability to connect with both children and animals. I’m warm, calm, and attentive—and I truly enjoy providing a safe, caring environment. Child Care I care for one child at a time so I can give them my full attention. I enjoy creative and educational play, and I’m experienced with young children, especially through my time with my grandbaby. I’m happy to help with basic routines, light meals, and keeping your child engaged in fun, age-appropriate ways. Pet Care I also offer pet sitting for one dog at a time. My deep experience comes from caring for my own dog for 13 wonderful years. I’m now a grand-dog mom too! I’m happy to walk, feed, and spend quality time with your pet, and I’m comfortable with dogs that shed. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, calm, and kind, I’d love to support your family—whether human or furry.

Booked by 1 family in West Jefferson, 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.
