Hello! I’m Paula Page, and I’m thrilled to meet you! I’m a fifth-generation Arizonan who recently returned to my hometown of Scottsdale after spending 30 years in Northern California. I’m a UCLA graduate, a mother, and a Public Relations professional. In 1989, I graduated from Chaparral High School in Scottsdale, AZ, earning a spot on the principal’s list. Following that, I headed to the coast and attended UCLA, where I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature with a 3.5 GPA. During my time at UCLA, I joined the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority in my freshman year in '89, was part of the UCLA dance team, and had the privilege of traveling with the UCLA Men’s Football and Basketball teams in '91-'92. My senior year in '93 was spent studying abroad in Aix-en-Provence, France, where I immersed myself in French language and Art at the Marchutz School of Art, Read more deeply influenced by Impressionistic art, which remains a passion of mine to this day. My father, a highly decorated U.S. Coast Guard Veteran who served in the Vietnam War, later pursued a career as an attorney in private practice in AZ for over 40 years. Meanwhile, I've successfully managed my boutique PR agency, paulapagepr.com, in Palo Alto, CA for over two decades. As an empty nester, I felt it was time for a change, so I relocated to Arizona to be closer to my family. Seeking a new challenge, I’m transitioning into a career as a Licensed Practical Nurse and have taken up part-time nanny work, which aligns perfectly with my passion for caring for children of all ages. Growing up with two sisters, I naturally took on the role of neighborhood babysitter, and I continued babysitting for my daughter’s friends over the years. Currently, I’m enrolled in Child CPR and First Aid. In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis, swimming, hiking, painting, and, most importantly, spending quality time with my family. I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to spend time with my 99-year-old grandmother. Recently, I secured a tutoring position in English for students in grades 3-6 through HeyTutor, and I would be delighted to assist your children with their homework if that’s something you're interested in. I’m a personable, empathetic, and professional adult eager to support you and your family with your childcare needs. I have a wealth of professional and childcare references available upon request and I hope for the opportunity to work with you!
