A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Paola, 26 — Venezuelan and bilingual (English/Spanish). I have a Psychology degree and I currently work full-time at Hopebridge as an RBT, with 1 year and 8 months of hands-on experience supporting children ages 3–7.

Families love that I’m warm and fun, but also structured: I turn childcare into meaningful play + learning through creative activities, games, sensory play, and positive routines using encouragement and positive reinforcement—so evenings feel smoother (transitions, dinner, bath, and bedtime).

I’m happy to work with neurotypical children as well (not only autism). I have a reliable car for pickups as needed. Available Mon–Fri after 5:30pm and anytime on weekends. References available upon request—I’d love to be the consistent, trustworthy support your family can count on.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I currently work full-time at Hopebridge as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). For the past 1 year and 8 months, I’ve provided 1:1 support for children ages 3–7 with autism in a clinic setting. My experience includes building positive routines, structured play and learning activities, safety supervision, communication support, and helping children through transitions using positive reinforcement. I collaborate with clinical supervisors and follow individualized programs. References available upon request.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love keeping kids engaged through fun, active play! I enjoy imaginative games, dancing and singing (music & movement), arts and crafts, simple sensory activities, puzzles/blocks, and story time. Outdoors, I like playground time, walks, bubbles, and active games. I always focus on safe, age-appropriate fun and positive routines.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny to me is building trust and making children feel safe, loved, and understood.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience supporting children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and related needs, including ADHD, hearing loss (hard of hearing), and nonverbal communication (including AAC when applicable). I’m comfortable supporting children through big emotions/meltdowns with calm, positive strategies, and I have experience with toileting routines and daily living skills. As an RBT, I follow individualized plans, focus on safety first, and use positive reinforcement to build confidence, communication, and smoother routines.

Important note: I work full-time as an RBT, but through NannyLane I’m applying strictly as a nanny/babysitter. I’m not offering ABA/therapy services in this role, since clinical services must be provided under the appropriate supervision/authorization and within a formal provider setting. I’m happy to follow your family’s routines and any guidance you already have from your child’s licensed providers.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite moments is when kids and I make up silly little dances and “choreographies” together — we’ll put on music, do funny moves, laugh, and celebrate their creativity. Those playful, silly moments are the best because they help kids feel confident, connected, and truly happy.
