A little bit about me

Hello, families! My name is Paulina, originally from South Africa, and I bring over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for children from newborns to 10 years old. I’m passionate about creating a nurturing, engaging, and safe environment where children can thrive, grow, and feel loved.

I have traceable references from families I’ve supported, and I’m known for being patient, dependable, and gentle, with a strong ability to adapt to each child’s unique needs and personality. Whether it’s bottle-feeding an infant, planning creative activities for toddlers, or helping with homework for school-aged kids, I approach each task with care and dedication.

With a warm heart and strong work ethic, I treat every child as if they were my own. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and genuinely invested in your child’s well-being, I would be honored to support your family.

I’m currently available immediately and based in Dorchester, willing to commute to nearby areas.

A little bit about me

Hi there! I've been a babysitter for over 6 years now and have loved every opportunity I've been able to spend time as a babysitter/nanny. I am currently a physical therapist but really missing my life as a nanny!
I'm flexible and willing to work with any schedule. I also have a car, I'm great with food prep, I love spending time outdoors, and love pets. I'd love to chat further over any questions you may have for me and get more details about specific job requirements, child needs, hours, etc.:)
Please don't hesitate to reach out!

Thanks so much,
Colleen O.

A little bit about me

When working with children I started in high school as a camp counselor at the YMCA and eventually working my way up to a camp director. After my first summer of working with children I knew I would always want to help mold and shape kids into confident and self-sufficient learners. When starting my first nanny position I was excited and ready to start this new journey. After the first day of spending time with the family I knew how important this job was to me and that its more than just showing up. It then became less of a job and more of a family atmosphere. My favorite and most important part of this position is becoming part of the family and loving the family just like they’re my own.
