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
I love children and working with them. I have previously worked for many different families, caring for children (newborn to school-aged). I received a certificate for the Early Childhood Development program offered at BHCC. Every child is unique and the care they receive should be too. I strive to make great memories for the children and help them continue to learn and explore.

A little bit about me
I work for the Boston Public Schools System and not been a nanny in the past. I do however work with 3, 4, and 5 year old children many with disabilities. I have been doing this since 2001 and am still currently working for BPS in a Kindergarten classroom. I have raised twin girls who are now 21 years of age and in their 3rd year of college. I teach, guide, and care for all of our students on my levels. Many of our students have different needs and I try to consider what each needs individually. I would like to leave the classroom climate and do something more personal such as providing care to another families little ones. I am eager to start a new chapter in life now that my daughters have only 1 yearleft in college. I am not ready to retire and not of retirement age, just looking for a change, a new opportunity in life.
