Paula $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello there!! I’m a caring, responsible, and creative person who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I love creating a safe, positive, and fun environment where children feel comfortable, valued, and encouraged to explore and learn. Although I haven’t worked professionally as a nanny, I have hands-on childcare experience from helping raise my niece until she was almost five years old. I was actively involved in her daily care, playing with her, preparing meals, and organizing activities. I’m patient, attentive, and enjoy imaginative play, creative activities, and helping children with their homework. I also have experience supporting fourth-grade students and learning activities. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and hold CPR certifications, including pediatric CPR. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident leaving their children in someone else’s care. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care while making sure children feel safe, happy, and supported.
