About Paula
Experience: 10 yrs
I am an active, healthy 65-year-old non-smoker with CPR and a care. com background check. I deeply respect the process of building a relationship with your family. I thrive on helping children discover their own strengths and internal guidance in a safe and loving manner using playful humor, nonviolent communication and developmentally appropriate boundaries. I actively engage with children in activities that match their abilities, personality and learning style whether it is sitting on the carpet in imaginative play, foraging for bugs outside or building a model. My professional background includes a home daycare, Director of family music program and founding member of Youth Commission in Sedona, AZ and Waldorf Charter School. I also counsel families with Highly Aware/Sensitive young and am completing a conscious parenting book.

Aila (Paula G) cared for my almost 3 year old daughter for 6 half days while we were on vacation in Sedona. She is experienced, warm and fun! She even brought toys and art supplies to introduce new, exciting activities. You'll feel very safe leaving your child with Aila.
