About Paula

Experience: 1 yr

I have more experience working with infants and preschool-aged children (ages 0-6) and appreciate supporting their development through movement practices, creative play, and gentle routines. I have just finished a hole school year as assistant teacher of a Montessori preschool program, where I helped with daily routines and activities and often lead the movement time to support coordination, body awareness, and self-regulation (I am an amateur dancer on my free time). I enjoy creating a nurturing environment where children can explore, move, and express themselves freely. Music, dance, outdoor play, and hands-on activities are a natural part of how I engage with children, always adapted to their age and interests. I speak Portuguese (native), French and English (fluent), and conversational Spanish, and I like introducing language naturally through songs, stories, and everyday moments. I am available for different slots and value open communication with families.

Paula was absolutely thoughtful and caring with my 4.5 year old son. We came for a weekend retreat for myself and he had an excellent time. She was able to find many child appropriate activities around Nevada City/Grass Valley for him to do. Was mindful of his needs and adapted to concerns as they arose. We would definitely work with her again and recommend!
