About Paula
Experience: 1 yr
Hello! My name is Paula and I've been nannying on the side since February 2025. For my main job I work for a local nonprofit serving children 0-8 years old. I've been with the same family since March 2025. As the baby is growing older and mom needs less help, I am looking for other families to help out! I am available most weekdays from 3pm-11pm, Saturdays after 1pm, and all day on Sundays! I accept one-time gigs for parents who need occasional help and I can also take regular/scheduled jobs. I can care for newborns, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged kids. I am CPR certified, I have a car, I love pets, and I can prepare meals. Non-smoker. I can play the ukulele and sing and I can garden with your child :) Happy to share my CV and provide references as well.

Paula is AMAZING!!!!!!! I CANNOT RECOMMEND HER ENOUGH!! We needed some help and have never done the nanny-thing before. Well we finally gave it a shot and messaged her after reading through a bunch of profiles. Her response was super thoughtful and instantly made us feel comfortable bringing her into our home. Well lemme tell you- she is one of the hardest workers I've ever met. She knocked out more than what we asked, took initiative, helped us organize things in ways we would not have thought of, and was so pleasant to be around. She's extremely sweet, kind, caring, funny, and friendly to be around. The EXACT kind of person you dream of finding through here. If you need someone who's going to do a phenomenal job, do not hesitate to hire her. We have a brand newborn and an 18 month old daughter for context, and I knew my wife needed some help around the house. Especially since grandparents live a few hours away. She's a rare find. I cannot express enough our gratitude towards her for her work ethic, attitude, and how the second she arrives she just wants to jump right in and get to work haha. Paula is beyond amazing. Just hire her- you'll see it for yourself!
