Meet Paula

  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

I am a long time San Diego native with a 24 year old daughter who I homeschooled K-12. I have a background in education and childcare, including babysitting (12 years), volunteer teaching K-12 at the Greater San Diego Academy, a daycare assistant at The Children's Museum Of San Diego, and a teacher’s aide, Special Education for children K-8th. I have a Master’s Degree from the University Of San Diego in teaching as well. I have experience as a professional house cleaner and 20 years as a professional caterer. I know I would make a great member of your team as a nanny. I thoroughly enjoy working with children of all ages and can adapt to their different needs. My emphasis is on education so we would always have educational activities to do, art projects are my forte and lots and lots of creative, fun, adventures to dive into. I enjoy Read more cooking with children and I can cook meals or snacks for the kids as well. I am skilled at adapting recipes for special diets/ allergies also. I love singing and music, so I try to incorporate music into my care as well. I will never be on my phone and the children in my care will be safe and given total attention. I believe every day can be a new learning experience that can include nature walks, field trips and adventures. I work to make the child and parent have the most positive, fun, safe experience and I think my calm and patient demeanor and sense of humor blend well with families and make them feel comfortable. I always do my best to end the day with the children feeling like they had a great time and the parents are happy with the care they received. I am Infant/ child/adult CPR and First Aid certified and am fully vaccinated for Covid +Booster.
