A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Paulina. I'm a 31 year old artist. I'm an empathetic, energetic, creative and organized person.
While my job history varies from pet care to hospitality and retail, I have always had an inclination towards caring for kids.
Connecting with children comes naturally to me. I take influence from the atmosphere my parents created for me and my sisters growing up, along with the attention to detail I received from my kindergarten and 5th grade teachers. When I was a child, those few experiences were in high contrast to most others and lead me to the sensitivity I have for kids.

More About Me

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I am a painter, so naturally I love interacting with kids through arts and crafts. Whether it be painting, story telling, singing, dancing.
Every activity would be personalized for each child's abilities and interests.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My role as a nanny is to make sure that your baby continues to feel at home. It's important that I get to know them and their relationship with you so that I can meet their needs and your requirements. Most importantly my job is to keep them feeling safe and confident.

My experience with special needs children...

A few years back, I cared for my three year old nephew, who is autistic. I cared for him for the duration of a summer, about four months. It was challenging at first, as he got used to his mommy being away. But as soon as we got into our routine it was easier for me to catch on to his unique needs and tendencies to better communicate with him. Overall it was a very eye opening experience that I'll always take with me.

The most important part about being a nanny...

While taking care of my friends four year old boy, I had him draw out a little story of his choice.
As he drew, I asked him many questions about what he was drawing. He talked about his nightmares, Matias at the time was struggling with bedtime monsters. He drew out the scary monsters and then drew himself telling them to go away. I felt as though he was venting in his own way.
By the time bedtime rolled around, I read him his book of choice and we talked about his drawing and how much better he felt seeing how small the monsters looked on paper.
This was just a one night drop-in but I was really proud of how well I was able to connect with him on his level of understanding. I also felt good that little Matias was able to get a goodnight sleep before his parents came back home.

The most important phase of development is between birth and 3 years. I find working with first child families particularly rewarding.

Dependable, trustworthy, loving. I will be available mid-October. I have maintained close connections with my former families and am happy to offer references.
