Hello! I am Paulina! I am currently in my third year of college, and am seeking a position that offers flexibility with my academic schedule. I have worked with children since the age of 16. My experience includes four years as a private nanny for three children under the age of five; four summers as a camp counselor, including two summers providing one-on-one support to children with special needs; and one year as an assistant teacher at Little Scouts Preschool, working with children from newborn to five years old and supervising groups of 18 or more. My childcare philosophy is informed by Montessori and Waldorf principles. I value child-led exploration and supervised risk-taking as essentials to building confidence and independence.

I am happy to provide a Read more detailed resume and background check upon request.
