About Paola

Hi, my name is Lola! I'm a University of Hartford student pursuing a degree in University Studies with a Montessori Concentration. I'm also currently in the process of attaining a AMI Montessori teacher certification. I have a 7-year-old that goes to The Montessori School and a 4-month-old daughter who stays at home with me. I'm a former Montessori teacher and have worked at Anchorage Montessori School for 3 years prior to moving to TN. I was born in Colombia and moved to Alaska when I was 5-years-old. I'm the eldest of three and began caring for children at a young age first starting with my siblings. I'm fluent in English and Spanish. I have attended several Adult and Infant CPR/First Aid classes. I hold a CPR/First Aid certificate including a Food Handlers Card. I've worked with several families which have referred me to different families numerous times. I have years of experience working with children of all ages and needs including children with intellectual/mental disabilities.
