A little bit about me

Hi! I’m a college student with 2+ years of experience as an au pair, caring for kids of all ages. I’m CPR & First Aid certified, bilingual (Spanish-English), and passionate about helping kids grow in a fun, safe, and creative environment. I love being outdoors—going on walks, playing games, or exploring nature—but I’m also great at planning indoor activities like crafts, baking, and educational games for rainy days. I’m skilled at cooking kid-friendly meals and love incorporating Spanish naturally through songs and play. I’m dependable, patient, and full of positive energy. I adapt easily to each child’s personality and support their routine with care and respect. I’d love to bring creativity and joy into your child’s day!

More About Me

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny is creating a safe, loving, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable, valued, and free to be themselves. It’s about building trust—not only with the child, but also with the parents—through open communication, reliability, and genuine care. I believe in being present and intentional, helping children learn, grow, and explore the world through fun, age-appropriate activities while always putting their safety and emotional well-being first.

Sa-Adat U. - Seeking Work in Columbus

Babysitter Available in Columbus, OH: Sa-Adat U.

Hi! I am a recent graduate from UC seeking nanny opportunities in the summit or cuyahoga counties. I studied Human development and performance with a minor in psychology which helps so much with understanding and caring for children. I absolutely adore children and deeply care about their development as they are our future. As a nanny, my priority is getting as much out of the day as possible as well as providing a space for children to freely and safely express themselves. I am the nanny you want if you are worried about your children being bored, or interested in someone who will aid in skill development. I am currently working on a bachelors in neuroscience at OSU (classes are online) and studying in hopes of applying to medical school the next cycle. Thanks for your considerations and I hope to hear from you soon!

(I recently completed a background check for my parents business and will have no issue providing it if requested. Just don't see the essence in paying for 2)
