Find a babysitter in Rockaway, NJ

Hello! My name is Paula, and I bring over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages, along with an educational background in Child Development. I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to grow. I also had the wonderful opportunity to spend two years as an au pair caring for infant twin boys. That experience deepened my love for early childhood care and taught me the importance of patience, consistency, routine, and creativity during a child’s early development. I’m energetic, reliable, caring, and always happy to jump into activities that encourage both learning and fun. In my free time, I enjoy painting, practicing yoga, and reading, all things I love incorporating into my time with children. Whether we’re getting creative with arts and crafts, staying active, or winding down with a good storybook, I strive to make each day engaging and meaningful. My most recent experience as a caregiver was with a lovely family with 5-year-old twin girls. This experience was incredibly special to me, and those two girls definitely won my heart! We created so many wonderful memories together, from playing and doing arts and crafts to working on homework and learning together. Being part of their daily lives and watching their personalities and creativity grow was truly a beautiful and rewarding experience. And I have to add. I absolutely love animals! I currently have a cat named Onyx, so I’m very comfortable working with families who have pets as well. 🐾 I’m excited to bring my experience, enthusiasm, and positive energy to a new family, and I look forward to supporting your children’s growth, happiness, and well-being.

I have worked with infants ages 6-weeks to 8 months during the summers and winters that I had off from school. I have also been an intern and student teacher at an elementary school. I have multiple pets of my own including both dogs and cats. I have been taking care of cleaning my house and cooking food for many years and am a huge fan of clean, healthy, and nutritious eating. I am an extremely creative person with a passion for arts while I also love going on walks and trips to the beach. As I have experience with infants I have a knack for exposing children to different environments, tactile exposure, foods, and textures. Due to my background in education I also am able to incorporate learning into almost anything. I have been also always been able to create strong rapport and bonds with children from infancy to elementary grades.

I am a part-time college student at the University of Maryland in College Park. I have years of experience working with children as well as engaging with them outside of a professional setting. I have 2 young nieces (10 and 8) whom I often babysit, drive to and from activities, and keep busy at home while my brother is working. My prior babysitting experience also includes neighbors, children of friends and family, and other relatives.
