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 an incredible caregiver!!! She is so loving, calm, fun and trustworthy. She works in schools around Galveston, has tons of experience with children and is so reliable (always on time and communicative). She plays ukulele, reads and plays so interactively and whenever there is downtime she is looking to help around the house. Paula even set up a garden for us. She’s been with us since our baby was 6 weeks old - we can’t imagine our lives without her the past year. We LOVE Ms. Paula!
