About Paula

Experience: 14 yrs

My experience as an early childhood teacher has been from infancy through 5-year-old children as well as teaching Junior Kindergarten and Kindergarten. I have enjoyed being a nanny and look forward to my next opportunity to help a family in need of a reliable, loving caregiver. It matters to me that I mirror the parenting styles of the prospective parents as well as meet the needs of the children. I desire to make the family's lives as peaceful and seamless as possible which comes by way of frequent communication and respectful interaction with the parents and their children. I do enjoy using creativity, a little sense of humor, and warmth with the family I lend my support. (Respectfully, I do claim all of my earnings to the IRS.)

Paula cared for our daughter from 11 months to 28 months and our son from birth to two months. She has been dependable, punctual, hardworking, and communicative. She is genuinely understanding of our child's needs and our desires as parents. She is particularly strong in the arts, and enjoys creative projects. She has gotten to know our community like the back of her hand and has been very resourceful. We particularly liked how she would regularly take our daughter to our community library to take advantage of their programs for young children.
