About Paula

42 years old Speaks English
I have 5 year babysitting experience, 4 years as a volunteer at a christian daycare center, 4 years as a daycare teacher working with children from 6 weeks old to school age. During those 4 years, I worked at 2 different christian daycare centers simultaneously. I have 1 year experience as a preschool teacher's aide at a private christian school. I also have 1 year of Sunday school teaching experience for first and second graders. I have 2 years experience as a substitute preschool teacher at a christian preschool. I attended a christian college in the Pennsylvania, US for Early Childhood Education, however, I never finished my degree. I do not push my faith on others, however it is always nice to work with families who are like minded in faith. I do not drive and would do the sitting at my home, so arrangements would need to be made for scheduling drop offs/pick ups. You would need to pack a lunch/supply a meal for the child if they are staying more than 4 hours and supply a snack for the child if they are in my care for 2-4 hours. Depending on age, if naps are required, a sleeping bag/floor mat and blanket will need to be provided. Your child is also welcome to bring some of their toys along to play with. I have two young cats, so if there are any allergies to cats, this may not be a suitable fit. Please free to contact me with any questions.
