Hello, my name is Paula, I'm a 28-year-old college graduate from Seton Hall University. I graduated with a B.A. In social and behavioral sciences with a concentration in social work and a multidisciplinary certificate in gerontology. I have been babysitting children of all ages for the past 10 years. I'm extremely caring and nurturing when it comes to others. I absolutely love children; I've taught art classes to elementary school children and have also done a lot of volunteering with kids of all ages through the youth group in Westfield as well as abroad. I've babysat in Westfield, Mountainside, Summit, and Holmdel within the past 7 years and have done things such as: cooking, helping with homework, trips to the library, parks, community pools, etc. I have a niece (8) and nephew (10) that are a HUGE part of my life and have helped take care of them since the Read more second they were born. I was also a full time nanny in Westfield for 3 years for two little girls, a 1 year old and a 3 year old. I was with them from 9-4:30pm everyday and would play with them outside, take them to the park, and other fun/crafty activities. I genuinely enjoyed taking part in their development whether it was by making sure they said their "please and thank you's" or by involving education in a fun and playful way in our everyday routine. I absolutely loved them and would have stayed working with this amazing family longer but I decided to attend cosmetology school in NYC. (I was lucky enough to have my sister take over this position while she was working toward receiving her masters degree - she's currently a special education teacher in Westfield.) I'm currently looking for a full time babysitting position, Monday through Friday but I'm open to working out a schedule that fits best with your family. If you feel like this might be what you're looking for, please don't hesitate to contact me. I would love to further discuss the many other qualities and experiences that I have!
