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.

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Columbus, OH: Patricia D.

Hello! I loved every minute of my years as a teacher, and I adore children. I've cared for newborns to teens, including newborn twins! As a teacher, I coached sports and put on plays. As a mom, I loved having our home filled with half the kids in the neighborhood. Since retiring, I have served as a nanny and preschool teacher, and have excellent references.

I have an undergrad degree and most of a master's in education, with lots of ongoing training in current child-development principles and methods.
