Hi! I’m Paula, a medical student who loves working with children. I have experience caring for kids through summer camps and at an International School in Portland. I’m responsible, patient, caring, and energetic, and I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment where children can learn and grow. I’m also happy to help with homework, meals, routines, and light household tasks related to the children. I look forward to meeting your family!

She was very sweet and warm with me and my kids. She was very flexible with my schedule changing last minute and communicated very well!

We had a wonderful experience with Paula! She was kind, responsible, and wonderful with my daughter. My daughter felt comfortable with her right away, and I really appreciated how attentive and engaging she was. Since my daughter is bilingual, it was an added bonus that Paula could speak Spanish with her and give her the opportunity to practice. We felt very comfortable having Paula care for her and would definitely recommend her to other families!
