About Paula
Experience: 5 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I've been working with kids for 5 years in Brazil and U. S. Here in U. S I worked as a nanny for great families taking care of kids from 4 months to 12 years old. During the closure of schools in 2020 I helped a pod of 4 kids from 6 to 12 years with distance learning process. Besides my full time job I did occasional babysitting for other families with kids from 4 months to 10 years old too. I'm kind, patient, very responsible and flexible. I love read, make arts and crafts, listen music, and everything that evolves creativity. I also love to play board games, play pretend, go to parks and easy hikes with the kids I take care. I always try my best to help the kids to understand their feelings encouraging them to express their emotions so they can feel safe and comfortable to communicate their needs. I'm a great swimmer and strong driver with 10 years of experience and NY driver license. Fully vaccinated with a booster and CPR and first aid training.

We have been so lucky to have the opportunity to work with Paula. Paula stepped in to help us for a short term opportunity and has now looked after our 7.5 month son for ~2 months. Paula is everything you would dream of. She will play and care for your baby, read to them books, take them out, organize play dates, pay attention to their development needs, and work with you to discuss what you should be thinking about next. She is experienced with babies and has the confidence to navigate the fun and the challenging days. She was happy to come in early or stay late when asked. Despite this being a short term appointment, she looked after our son with a lot of care and attention and they have become very close. I spend the afternoons listening to them giggle whilst they play. As a first time mom, I never worry when I leave the house as I know that my baby is in great hands! If our circumstances were different i would 100% work with Paula full time. Any family who gets to work with her will be very lucky! We are also working remotely and it has been very nice to have her in the apartment, spend time together and learn from her. Highly recommend and would work with Paula again and again!
