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.
