About Paula
Experience: 1 yr
I work mainly with infants and preschool-aged children (ages 0-6) and enjoy supporting their development through movement, creative play, and gentle routines. I currently work in a Montessori-inspired home preschool, where I help with daily care and often lead movement activities that support coordination, body awareness, and self-regulation. My caregiving style is calm, attentive, and child-centered. I enjoy creating a nurturing environment where children can explore, move, and express themselves freely. Music, dance, outdoor play, and hands-on activities are a natural part of how I engage with children, always adapted to their age and interests. I speak Portuguese (native), French and English (fluent), and conversational Spanish, and I like introducing language naturally through songs, stories, and everyday moments. I am available for different slots and value open communication with families.
Most recent review
Paula was absolutely thoughtful and caring with my 4.5 year old son. We came for a weekend retreat for myself and he had an excellent time. She was able to find many child appropriate activities around Nevada City/Grass Valley for him to do. Was mindful of his needs and adapted to concerns as they arose. We would definitely work with her again and recommend!
