Hello! I’m Paula, a psychology student with 10+ years of professional childcare experience, including babysitting, nannying, and two years in special education in middle and elementary school working closely with children who have autism, ADHD and other neurodivergent and sensory needs. My infant and toddler experience includes milestone development, such as supporting tummy time, motor skills, early communication, sensory activities, sleep training, introduction to solids, diapering, potty training, and establishing consistent routines. I have cared for infants from just a few months old and provided nurturing, developmentally appropriate care throughout each stage. With school-aged children, I help with meal prep, homework, reading, creative projects, school pick-ups and drop-offs, and indoor/outdoor play, always ensuring a safe, fun, and structured environment. My special education background has given me strong skills in positive behavioral reinforcement, social-emotional development, individualized routines, visual schedules, and neurodivergent-affirming care. I’m experienced supporting children with autism, ADHD, and sensory needs in both home and school environments. Families and colleagues know me as reliable, warm, organized, attentive, and developmentally knowledgeable. I’m passionate about helping children feel safe, confident, and supported as they grow. If you’d like to learn more about my experience, I’d love to connect!

Paula was great and comfortable with my two young children. We would gladly invite her back!

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."

Eric D., dad of two
