My name is Paula and I am a 32 year old female. I am an extremely diligent, responsible, and reliable person with over ten years of babysitting experience. I started babysitting in my neighborhood when I was 15 years old and learned I have an immense love for children. I have been a live-in nanny for four years to two children Brienna and Shaelynn from birth. They are now six and four and in school. I also have a niece who I helped my sister as a single mother raise since birth. I have hands-on experience when it comes to parenting and all the challenges that accompany it. I am an individual with an open mind and surround myself with people who encourage, support and inspire me. My patience in dealing with them knows no bounds, and I am comfortable carrying out any duty, be it feeding, bathing, putting them to sleep, making sure they do their homework, and giving them the love they require and deserve. On my off days I like to get outdoors and be active, yoga, biking, swimming, shopping, etc. I am open to as many hours you deem fit to ensure the well-being of your child. I look forward to meeting you and your family in person so that you can evaluate my eligibility for the job and my babysitting skills firsthand.
