I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old. Over the years, I have been a full-time/part-time nanny. I have worked with babies all the way to a 21-year-old Autistic man. I have worked for many Babysitting Agencies & Nanny Services from the East Coast to the Midwest. I have also worked with children that were more challenging. I worked at Ozanam Home for Boys, Gillis Home for Boys, and Crittenton Hospital (Psychiatric Hospital that specializes in treatment of Children.) I worked at Division of Youth Services with juvenile offenders that committed crimes. I have had my Life Coaching Certificate for 15 years. I do consultations with families to assist them in finding structures that the children can be most successful in while working together as a family. I enjoy implementing these behavior plans. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Organizational Communication and a Minor in Leadership. My Communication Skills are strong. I graduated with a 3. 9

    Paula works so well with both of my sons (ages 5 and 7), both who struggle at times. She sees the good in them and is able to redirect and go with the flow when needed. We are grateful for her!!
