About Paula

Experience: 10 yrs

I'm a patient, calm, and approachable caregiver whose goal is to make life easier for the families I support. Before spending 25+ years as a fraud investigator in the financial industry, I worked full time as a nanny-and continued part-time while raising my own two children. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, hold a Bachelor's degree, and will begin pursuing my Washington State Certification in Early Childhood Education in January 2026. Clear communication matters to me, and I make it a priority to keep parents informed with daily updates about their child's activities. In addition to childcare, I'm happy to assist as a house manager, providing light housekeeping and meal preparation to help your home run smoothly.

Paula is kind, compassionate, and patient with kids of all ages. I have known Paula for over 8 years and have witnessed her interactions with many kids. I have spent time with her in daycare and Sunday school classes at her church. She interacts with the children on their level, hangs out on the floor to play, gently guides them, and keeps them on schedule. Her passion is caring for kids and after many years working for corporations she now has the opportunity to do what she loves. When I needed her help, she stayed at my house assisting with my kids school work, rides, dinner, and more. She cares for her nieces and nephews as if they were her own and is a mom herself. I trust her fully and would hire her in a heartbeat to be a nanny for my kids if she lived in the same state as me 🩷 I can’t say enough about the experience you will have with her as she knows exactly what is needed to help working mamas.
