Find experienced nannies in Shawnee Hills, OH

Hi there! I’m Salome, but everyone calls me Soul — and I wear that name proudly, because caring for children has always been where my heart feels most at home. I just moved back to my hometown of Columbus, Ohio after spending over a year in Atlanta, where I had the joy of working closely with an incredible family. For over 14 years, I’ve cared for children of all ages — from snuggly newborns to curious teens — as a babysitter, nanny, and after-school teacher. My experience spans infants, toddlers, and multiples, and I’ve also worked hands-on in schools, where I’ve applied my public health background to create safe, structured, and nurturing environments. Kids keep me inspired — their curiosity, creativity, and honesty remind me to see the world with fresh eyes. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning creative play, or maintaining your baby’s daily routine, I love finding ways to support each child’s personality and rhythm. My goal is always to meet them where they are and help them grow with confidence. I’ve also had the opportunity to care for children abroad through mission trips and community health work, experiences that taught me how to connect with kids and families from all walks of life. I’m comfortable with pets, speak another language, and bring a calm, joyful energy wherever I go. Most importantly, my goal is to serve as an extension of your family — not to overstep, but to honor and maintain your approach, creating a sense of trust, consistency, and care that helps your little ones feel right at home.

My name is Kara Moody. I recently graduated from The Ohio State University with a bachelors degree in Speech and Hearing Sciences. I will be taking one year off from my graduate studies before returning to school. I have been babysitting for families for about 4 years now and when I saw your job posting I thought that it might be the perfect position for me. I have experience with all age ranges of children but especially infant-12 years as the families I have babysat for the most often have had children in those age ranges including boys and girls. I enjoy being hands on with children while interacting with them and learning the things they enjoy to do which helps pass the time while their parents are away more enjoyable for them. Some things I enjoy doing are arts/crafts, reading, being in the outdoors, and cooking. I enjoy cooking healthy meals for the little ones and if old enough letting them become hands on as well. Aside from all of this I enjoy taking children to the park, the zoo, the pool, and COSI if allowed by the parents. Thank you for reviewing my profile and please feel free to reach out.

I started babysitting at the young age of 10. I then became a Sunday School teacher in my church. During college, I worked as a teacher's assistant in the OSU child care center. I have a bachelors in early childhood development and have achieved my masters in education. I worked as a pre-k teacher, kindergarten teacher, and substituted for grades pre-k to 12th grade. People have always said I have a special gift with children. I enjoy helping your child develop emotionally, mentally, and physically.

Hello beautiful families of Columbus! My first name is Terra, but I go by my middle name Dominique. I have been working in childcare for almost 20 years and have cared for children of all ages in many types of settings including, but not limited to, as a martial arts instructor, preschool teacher, and private nanny. I have been certified in CPR, including for infants, and First Aid. I have a 2 year old daughter who will need to come with me on jobs most of the time. We are both very friendly and love animals and being outdoors. I practice gentle parenting with an emphasis on kindness to all living beings, including oneself, and gaining hands-on experience. I encourage new learning opportunities within a safe environment. We love parks and libraries. We also have a membership to COSI and would be happy to share that same adventure with your child. We look forward to meeting you and your munchkins!!

Hi I'm Ushio, I have raised/cared for children for over 9years. I love being around children and like to introduce them basic sciences. I have Recognition of Excellence Award in Praxis in Biological Sciences and also have experience teaching at a Japanese supplemental school (junior high schoolers). My expertise is in ecological science but can also teach Japanese, basic math, and other sciences to some extent. I'm a native Japanese speaker, so If you would like your little ones to learn Japanese, I can teach them while I babysit :) Depending on the situation/children's interests, I can introduce types of insects, periodic table, and have some story books based on ecological theories. If you don't mind a bit of mess, I can also provide a little at home experiments (using all safe materials such as salt, sugar, food coloring etc.). I focus on the interests of each child and try to provide them with a fun time to help them recognize that the learning is fun. *I don't do strict tutoring/teaching. I can also simply play with them. I will jump with them at trampoline place, will get in the water at swim class, and play tags with them at park...I play seriously :) Available Fri evening & some Sunday afternoon. Single parent discount available. Look forward hearing from you! Ushio

Hello! My name is Marissa. :) I'm an energetic, honest & reliable 27 year old from Westerville. I have 15 years of nannying experience, ages newborn-teen & I have nannied every summer since I was 12! Additionally, I have worked at a daycare, worked night shift watching a newborn, and had a class of 6 2 year olds as a toddler teacher. (As hard and playfully chaotic as it was; I absolutely loved it.) Prior to being a toddler teacher, I worked at Kinsale Golf & Fitness center in the kids club, ONE-CHURCH kids youth ministry & babysat for several well known & highly respected families in Columbus. Aside from working with kids, I have practiced real estate, started & ran a successful high-end resell business, and served at 2 high-end restaurants. With that said, working with children has brought me more joy than any of my other endeavors, and ironically serves as a form of therapy for me.

Hi I’m Audrey! I’m a recent graduate from the University of Dayton. I’ve worked at a daycare since my senior year of high school and have tons of experience with kids as young as 2 months! I was a live in nanny last summer in Germany and it was such a great experience! Feel free to message me. I love spending time outdoors, doing crafts and I’m a huge animal lover! I’m fully COVID vaccinated. I have my license and would feel comfortable driving kids to/from school or other sports/hobbies!

Hi, I’m Lisa. I raised three children on my own, and they’re now successful adults. I also have experience in regular daycare settings and in-home childcare, which gives me a solid, real-world understanding of children at every stage. I’m calm, patient, and attentive. I handle routines, transitions, and big emotions with consistency and common sense. I engage with children, and focus on creating a safe, steady, and supportive environment. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, a non-smoker, and a non-drinker. I have a background check and references available. I enjoy cooking and baking with children and using time in the kitchen as a fun learning experience. Baking naturally teaches measuring, counting, and following directions, while cooking together encourages responsibility and creativity. I’m also a magazine-published cook, and I’m happy to prepare dinner for families when needed. Children are welcome to help if they’re interested. I’m comfortable providing date-night care, overnights, and extended care including weekends. I’m also very comfortable with pets and happy to help with basic pet care. I’m flexible with my schedule and work closely with parents to accommodate their needs. I respect your home, your routines, and your expectations. If you’re looking for experienced, dependable childcare from someone who truly understands children and brings added value to your home, I’d be happy to connect.
