Paula $25 per hour for 1 child

With over 12 years of professional childcare experience, I have supported children from infancy through adolescence by creating safe, nurturing, and developmentally supportive environments. My approach blends structure, compassion, and intentional teaching, ensuring children feel secure, understood, and encouraged to grow. In addition to hands-on childcare, I serve as a positive role model, consistently demonstrating emotional regulation, patience, communication skills, and respect. I help children develop strong routines, social skills, independence, and confidence through age-appropriate activities and consistent guidance. My background as a bilingual teaching assistant, combined with training including 40-hour RBT coursework and CPR/First Aid, allows me to support children with varying needs, learning styles, and temperaments. I model kindness, empathy, responsibility, and problem-solving while maintaining clear expectations that promote healthy development. Overall, I provide a blend of gentle leadership, educational support, and emotional stability, helping children feel valued, capable, and inspired to be their best selves. I have also served as a household manager for 6 years. As part of my responsibilities I managed daily operations, overseeing household staff (cleaning services, contractors, maintenance workers), and signing relevant documents while keeping a copy for record documentation. In addition, handled grocery shopping and inventory; meal planning/preparation when needed based on preferences and specific requests. Furthermore, I kept household supplies inventory (cleaning, office, laundry, tools and equipment, paper and waste products, etc). Ensured to drop off & pick up packages; as well as the drop off and and pick up of dry clean clothes. Finally, I was responsible for scheduling car cleaning services, filling up the tank whenever needed and taking the vehicle to the dealership, or preferred service center for maintenance.
