Sara 2 reviews
$15 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Sara, and I moved to the Columbus area with my husband in 2022. I am offering child, senior and pet care along with household services. I would love to take care of children for a living and I currently have one son of my own, born in 2023. I used to babysit a lot when I was in middle school but have not had the privilege very recently. I went into teaching and didn’t enjoy the high number of high school and middle school students in a class. I was also a semi truck driver, but I no longer wish to do either of those things. I am capable of cooking and learning new recipes. I can clean, do laundry, run errands, get groceries, drive to appointments, and help take care of pets. We had three senior dogs when we got married. I had a beagle mix and he had two corgis, sadly they all passed over the rainbow bridge. We enjoyed the time we had with them and now I enjoy my time with Teddy, our terrier mix. I also enjoy spending time with seniors. There is so much to learn from them. One of the greatest joys I had in my life was getting to know and spending time with my grandfather’s first cousin. She was never married, had no siblings, and never had any children, but she lived the fullest life and had so many stories to tell. I also loved to listen to the stories that my grandmother’s neighbor told. At the time, I did not realize his repetitive stories were the first sign of his dementia. It was sad, but he had great stories. I also had a wonderful time spending time with my great grandmother. I always tell people you weren’t old until you hit 90 because of her. She was always sharing secrets with me. I would love the opportunity to assist you with your child, elderly relatives, pets, and/or household services.

Sara is a very caring and thoughtful person. She loves children of all ages as well as those blessed with many years. She is reliable and courteous. She has experience with the young and the young in heart both as a caregiver and a teacher. Sara grew up with dogs and loves all dogs! She would be a great dog walker or sitter.

Hello, my name’s Jordan. I was born in Michigan but grew up here in Ohio, on the east side of Columbus. I have many younger siblings (five to be exact), all of which I had the pleasure of taking care & babysitting for most of my life. I also can handle pet care if need be. If you want the truth I’m just a college student finding his way.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
