Looking for work as a babysitter.

  • 14 years paid experience
  • Babysitter in Spicewood, TX 78669

Meet Paula

  • Registered Nurse
  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

I've been caring for children and adolescents, from newborns to 16 years of age, in some form or fashion for more than a decade. I also spent a few years working with young adults with disabilities such as autism, epilepsy, and severe cerebral palsy. In 2016, I became a registered nurse which has been my full-time focus. I've worked in a broad array of specialties but I harbor a deep love for neurology. Naturally, I'm CPR/ACLS certified. Children will find that I'm a fun and engaging babysitter. I love to play games, read books, and run around outside (huge nature lover!). Parents often comment that I'm calm and grounded. I'm looking for intermittent opportunities. As a nurse, my schedule is different every week. I'm not always available on the weekends but I do regularly have days available during the week whether you need help during the day or evening. I Read more have a reliable mode of transportation. I'm available for a meeting prior to babysitting either via the phone, Skype, or in person. I'm also available to start immediately. I look forward to connecting with you!

Paula is the greatest. She treated our kids like family from day 1 and was very responsible in every aspect of taking care of them. We recommend her 100%!

We have three boys ranging in age from 3-12 years and they all thought Paula was "awesome". She came over to meet us a few nights before babysitting and our younger two (3 and 4) were immediately drawn to her. Paula kept the boys in our home for several hours while we had a date night and she played with them, colored with them, read to them, cooked for them and cleaned up after them! They were tucked in bed when we returned and I had no messes to clean. We are all definitely looking forward to her next visit!

Paula was great. She was very friendly and articulate in her job application and phone interview. She showed up a few minutes early and was ready to go. She seemed to handle our son very well. After observing her interact with him, we felt comfortable leaving for the night. She communicated with us via text throughout the night which also set our minds at ease. Paula even straightened up my son’s toy area and washed the few dishes in the sink. We were very pleased with her and will definitely use her again.

Paula babysat for my kids for the first time the other night and my kids LOVED her! When my son woke up the next day, he said, "Wheres my Paula?" I thought it was so cute, because he is normally very hard to make a connection with. He is 5, and I have a 2 year old girl and they both really enjoyed playing games with her and asked for her to come back the next day. I'll definitely be using her again!!
