About Paula

Experience: 4 yrs

I am a patient, cheerful, and direct with passion for working with children. I find joy in spending time playing and caring for them, as their unique perspective on the world is inspiring and rewarding. Their curiosity, creativity, and boundless energy motivate me to provide the best care possible. I am seeking flexibility and adaptability. My experience with children began at the age of 16 taking care of my twin cousins, and I have since developed a strong foundation in nurturing and supporting young minds. In my free time, I enjoy activities such as going to the gym, watching anime, and continuously learning, as a committed Catholic, I hold deep respect for others and am dedicated to upholding my beliefs and values. My skills include patience, safety awareness, first aid knowledge, and active listening, essential for working with kids of all ages. I am eager to bring my expertise and enthusiasm to your family.

We had a wonderful experience with Paula. She took great care of our two young children and instantly made them feel comfortable and safe. She is kind, responsible, and very patient, which really showed in the way she interacted with our kids. They were always happy to see her, and she kept them engaged with fun, age-appropriate activities. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I highly recommend her to any family looking for a caring and reliable nanny.
